Med City Drone presentation by founder Ryan Kuisle.


The March meeting topic - you!  Yep, this meeting will be all about you, in a low-preparation way.
 
MedCity Drones is Rochester's first drone racing club run in accordance with MultiGP safety guidelines.  We are still growing and learning, but are happy to share what knowledge we have gained.  In our presentation we will go over drone basics (drone builds, control, first person view) along with a racing overview.  At the end we will have some show and tell and time for questions.
 
 
If anyone has any questions they know in advance, please send them to Tina, Ryan wants to incorporate them into his presentation.  But be aware that the meeting will be run by Nix, so any last minute items need to go to him.
 
 
6 pm, in or near RCTC Heintz Center's HA108.

Kyle Gilbertson (IBM LEGO Education Outreach core team member and a prolific volunteer for other efforts as well) has agreed to be a speaker at an upcoming K-LUG meeting. As part of Kyle's volunteering both for ILEO and for other LEGO related STEM outreach he has had the occasion to want to produce instructions for constructing a LEGO model. This is actually difficult to do and have it look like you would expect LEGO instructions to look. Kyle was able to chain several different open source tools together to produce a quality set of instructions. He has volunteered to share the lessons he learned during this process with us.  (And he says that no, it's not a presentation for kids, sorry.)
 
 
 
Build digital 3D LEGO models on your computer. Create build instructions for your design. Learn the tools and avoid pitfalls to produce great results.

https://www.rochesterwinterfest.com/events/2018/1/20/ice-skating-on-the-oval


ArborWay Labs will present a live demonstration of its automated
relational technology system called the ART Studio. It is a proof of concept that
generates database applications automatically using context-sensitive interfaces that
guide designers through our step-by-step process. In the first half of our presentation,
we will explain how and why our technology breaks new ground with the RDBMS on the
white board. Next, we will build a small database application from a 5-table database
system that will be posted on our server. The audience will be encouraged to browse
and explore the “100 Best TV Episodes database” on their own personal computing
devices. This part of the demonstration will be limited to smart phones, tablets, and
laptops. Stay tuned for the launch of our smart watch database applications in the
Summer’17.


ArborWay Labs is a Rochester, MN based start-up that aims to change the way today’s

professionals build and distribute database applications. With ArborWay’s ART Studio,
database applications are generated by a design activity that automates the production
of SQL, object-relational mapping, and all code that was previously crafted by hand.


Discuss job hunting, from local options, to telecommute jobs, current interviewing strategies, networking, build your own job, build your own company.  No specific speaker, we'll go around the room and let people talk about what's worked for them and what hasn't.

Technical Meeting: January 11th, 2018

Discuss job hunting, from local options, to telecommute jobs, current interviewing strategies, networking, build your own job, build your own company. No specific speaker, we'll go around the room and let people talk about what's worked for them and what hasn't.

Special thanks to our mini-speakers who turned out despite the bad weather, here are the presentations given by Matt Bruzek and Mike Fallenstein.


Also, K-LUG officer elections, and PCIG officer nominations.


6 pm, in or near RCTC Heintz Center's HA108.
