Since everyone has had ample time to comment on meet location and time, I thought I would announce final arrangements for the meet.
Starting Location: University of Washington parking lot N5
Time: 1 PM - Saturday, January 10th
Map:
Directions: From I-5, take the NE 45th street exit and head east through the U-district until you reach 17th AVE NE. Take a right onto 17 AVE NE (you will be heading south). You will see two toll-booths and a small observatory. Take the first available left after the tollbooths and lot N5 will be on your left.
Rough schedule: We will arrive at lot N5 and probably spend a couple hours checking out each others systems. N5 is a big open lot, so dress warmly and it might be wise to bring an umbrella if it looks like there will be rain. After we get done at N5, we will walk over to one of the nearby cafe's to warm up, chat and do some informal seminars. Afterwards, we will head over to either Northlake Tavern or Atlantic Street Pizza and cap off the night with some of the city's best Pizza.
Here is a list of the tentative seminar topics. If you have suggestions for other topics, or wish to volunteer for a subject (very informal, just talking about your experience with the subject) please do so ASAP.
Definate:
- Wireless Networking/Internet Access
- User Interface Design
- Power Systems
- Audio Integration
- Boot-time Optimization
Possible:
- Custom Fiberglass Dashes
- Input Devices
- Voice Control
I am looking forward to meeting you all!
