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:

(I'm open to other ideas but it is very late to redirect folks.)

| # 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.

| # 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:

| 
| If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about the GTALUG Code of
| Conduct please contact the GTALUG Board @ <board at gtalug.org>.
