That is the geekhackers.org channel.  I'll talk to mkawa about conflation, but for the moment, we wanted a geekhack.org channel.

Alt least for today.

Thanks again Ron for hosting, it's always awesome.

And for the peeps that don't make it, you miss out on a lot of really fun, interesting, and educational stuff. Haatas monthly meet ups have really developed into something special and have value. Really need to try to put it on your calendar. Check this out for example: Andrew (Massdrop) said that the next meeting (at Massdrop) they will have a bunch of extra wallets from a drop. Imagine that, a keyboard meetup AND the chance to buy WALLETS, cash and carry, same time at the same place. How cool is THAT?

Hmmm....my current wallet is looking pretty janky...

For next meetup jacobolous is planning on showing off more of his ergonomics research.

Please let me know if anyone wants more keyboard related presentations (ideas welcome :P).

Who left a U-Lock behind?

Describe it, and you can have it back!

The videos need to be set to publicly listed instead of linked access, I believe.

Hey guys an idea for the next meet up, what if we can scrounge up some extra parts and we all take part in a live build? Maybe grab an extra infinity pcb and some of those gateron switches and we build a keyboard with everyone taking turns soldering a few switches?

We could then have something where we pass along the keyboard to a member each month. The person could chosen out of a hat each time like a raffle. What do you guys think? I think it would be really cool to have something unique to our little bay area group.

Haha, that might be fun. Have some sort of keyboard kit donation each time, do a little introduction then solder a few switches.
I'll talk to Andrew from Massdrop about the first one, but I'd be open to any sort of donations for future meetups.

Andrew thinks it's a great idea, we'll likely start with the next meetup.

Now you're just  rubbing it in.
That just means you have to show up :P

Sounds like great idea and a good learning experience for the people with little to no soldering knowledge!

All four episodes of HaaTa's presentation are now up on YouTube.

His hands-on demo will be edited, rendered and uploaded by the end of the day today.

QUESTION:  Is having these up on a dedicated YouTube channel helpful?
