Looking to find people who might be interested in getting together for a local Chicago Arduino group. I am a beginner tech nerd here and so far just doing simple LED Matrix and Monome type projects and seeing if there are others around the area. My friend is working on speak-jet type things with the Arduino and we'd like to get some face time with other developers together for a NY Resistor type thing here in Chi Town!
Or is there already a group up here that gets together on a regular basis?
Anyone out there interested or can point me in the right direction!?
Thanks!
Paul ;D
I found this information online and it seems to provide the basic foundation upon which NYC Resistor and other Hacker Spaces were formed. HackerspaceWiki.
If there is a core group of people really serious about getting something going in Chicago, this would be worth reading. There's a hacker space in Vancouver, BC that just got started on 8/20.
FreeGeek Chicago looks like a group from which lessons can be learned and to model an organization after. http://freegeekchicago.org/. And, then there's Dorkbot Chicago but it doesn't look like they've had some good action in a while. http://www.deadtech.net/
Looking forward to having a "Chicago Hacking Authority" in town.
