Just a reminder: tonight is the night! I like the recent trend to announcing the meetings well ahead. But I also like a last-minute announcement for those of us who are forgetful. Dinner? I guess that silence means Kabul Express: <https://wiki.gtalug.org/pre-meeting_dinner#kabul_express> (I'm open to other ideas but it is very late to redirect folks.) | From: hi--- via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | To: announce@gtalug.org | Date: Wed, 1 Aug 2018 18:34:39 -0400 (EDT) | Subject: [GTALUG] [GTALUG-Announce] GTALUG Meeting on Tuesday 14 August at | 7:30pm | | <http://gtalug.org/meeting/2018-08/> | | # Behind and Beyond Maker Festival with Eric Boyd | | I'm Eric Boyd, founder of maker festival, and serial entrepreneur. I grew up on a | small farm in Ontario, and I've lived and worked in Silicon Valley. I co-founded | StumbleUpon.com with friends in 2000, and in Toronto I've been president of | Hacklab.TO, organizer of lots of different meetups (including Toronto Quantified | Self). My interests span everything from technology to economics to leadership | to gardening to cooking to travel. | | I'll talk about Maker Festival, why we do it, how we do, and what the impacts | have been. | | Maker Festival brings together Toronto???s most creative people and projects, in | order to inspire openness to possibilities, a sense of active participation in | shaping our world, and a yearning for a more wonder-filled tomorrow. Makers of | all types (electronics, robotics, sewing, paper crafting, glowy things, etc.etc) | exhibit their DIY work and share their enthusiasm with the public. I'm happy to | talk more broadly about technology and people. | | ## Location | | George Vari Engineering and Computing Centre | 245 Church Street, Room 203 Ryerson University | | <http://goo.gl/maps/16oJ2> | | <http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/23447525> | | ## Schedule | | * 6:00 pm - Please discuss on the general mailing list (i.e. <talk@gtalug.org>) where you want to go for dinner. | * 7:30 pm - Meeting and presentation. | * 9:00 pm - After each meeting, a group of GTALUGers move to The Imperial Pub (54 Dundas St East) for refreshments and more socialising. | | # Code of Conduct | | We want a productive happy community that can welcome new ideas, improve every | process every year, and foster collaboration between individuals with differing | needs, interests and skills. | | We gain strength from diversity, and actively seek participation from those who | enhance it. This code of conduct exists to ensure that diverse groups | collaborate to mutual advantage and enjoyment. We will challenge prejudice that | could jeopardise the participation of any person in the community. | | The Code of Conduct governs how we behave in public or in private whenever the | Linux community will be judged by our actions. We expect it to be honoured by | everyone who represents the community officially or informally, claims | affiliation or participates directly. It applies to activities online or | offline. | | We invite anybody to participate. Our community is open. | | Please read more about the GTALUG Code of Conduct here: | <http://gtalug.org/about/code-of-conduct/>. | | If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about the GTALUG Code of | Conduct please contact the GTALUG Board @ <board@gtalug.org>.
