Starting February: New Old Meeting Schedule
HeatSync Labs meetings will once again take place on the first and third Thursdays of the month, after negotiating a plan to return to our original schedule, starting February. This will help accommodate the Arizona .NET User Group into meeting at their old schedule (which is our current schedule), and free up the second Thursday of the month to check out the Phoenix Linux User Group meeting in Mesa.
We will still have a meeting this coming Thursday night at our regular time on January 28th, but we'll be meeting in Gangplank's conference room, located to the right of the entrance. The Arizona .NET User Group will be meeting in the commons area that we normally meet in, just for this next meeting. Feel free to bring in any cool hardware projects you'd like to show off!

Our first meeting of the year that was also our first meeting at Gangplank was a huge success with fun times had by all! Proof of this fact is now on Flickr.
Y2[0.1]K Kick-Off Meeting: RepRap Scavenger Hunt, the IRS, and Gangplank, Oh My!
Welcome to the 2010s! HeatSync Labs is bringing in the new decade year with its first meeting at our new location at Gangplank in Chandler. We've got big plans for this year, including filing for 501c3 status, building a RepRap printer, and everything in between. Our new location features free wifi, plenty of table space, comfortable chairs, pirate flags, and the latest copy of the Linux Journal in each bathroom, holy kaw!
But wait, there's more!

We'll have complimentary pizza and drinks, just like an IEEE meeting, except we'll be discussing technology that we will build ourselves, with our own hands. Specifically, we'll be discussing the RepRap printer project our benevolent Board of Directors has rescued from being mothballed into a box of broken dreams by lack of funding from ASU. We're building it, and we want you to be part of it. This meeting will be when the endeavor begins, and it will end when it can print parts to make itself. Aside from this new flagship project, we encourage anyone working on anything interesting to bring in their projects and show them off too.
Meeting starts at 7pm on January 14th and runs until the last person leaves. Just a reminder: Meetings are now on the second and fourth Thursday of every month.
Gangplank is located on the southeast corner of Elliot and Arizona Ave at:
325 East Elliot Rd. Suite 34

Arduino Hacknight this Wednesday
Photo by Matt Mets. Distributed under a Creative Commons Attrib-Share Alike 2.0 Generic License.
Arduino is an open source microcontroller system developed by some guy from Italy, where Ferraris come from! It provides a flexible and easy to use platform for creating a wide variety of interesting hardware projects (such as the Nikon remote pictured above) with little experience required in microcontroller programming. Gangplank is hosting the event, and we'll be there too, representin' and such. If this sounds interesting enough for a trip to Chandler, stop by Gangplank this Wednesday at 7:00 pm and check it out!
