| === Technical Meeting: Thursday August 9th === | | === Outside Social: Friday December 12th === |
| Kevin Arhelger will present on DEF CON.
| | Time to be determined, probably ~6 pm |
|
| |
|
| DEF CON is one of the oldest continuous running hacker conventions around, and also one of the largest. Kevin has attended several times and just got back from this year, he's eager to share his experiences. He says this year (DEFCON 20) was the biggest ever! At his presentation, he will talk about the conference, and computer security in general. Questions will be welcome, come prepared.

Going to the lights only session allows us to not have to fight traffic backed up to the main road, we only have to give up the treats and activities like visiting with Santa, we still get the lights and the animals. |

| === Social #1: Sunday August 12th ===
| |
| Rockets and kites!
| |
|
| |
|
| Time TBA, sometime between 10 am and 4 pm. At the Century High School field, on the north side of the building. Bring your rockets and your kites, your family and friends. Kevin Arhleger has volunteered to be our Launch Master again. Rockets if it's not windy, kites if it is - last year we managed to skirt the line and do both, this spring it was rockets only.
| | === Old News Items === |
| | | See the [[OldNews]] page. |
| | |
| Details from the Launch Master:
| |
| | |
| Rain, tornado warnings, acts of god (frogs, locusts, etc.) are all cause for cancellation.
| |
| | |
| I'll play it by ear for rockets, if the wind speed is above 15mph our field won't be big enough.
| |
| | |
| | |
| If you have a rocket make sure to have:
| |
| | |
| - rocket engine, smaller is better--our biggest launch took half a mile to come down I recommend A and B engines if you want your rocket back
| |
|
| |
|
| - igniter
| |
|
| |
|
| - wadding, most engine packs come with it (look for the ones that do)--this helps prevent your parachute cord from melting mid flight
| |
|
| |
|
| - Hobby Lobby sells rockets (kits and complete rockets) as well as engines. They're not open on Sundays. Tim volunteered: There is a [http://www.hobbylobby.com/weekly/coupon.cfm
| |
| 40% off coupon] at Hobby Lobby in case anyone needs a new Millennium Falcon, antimatter fuel, e10 engine or something
| |
|
| |
|
| - Everything Hobby has a wider selection of engines as well as igniters and wadding if you have old engines you would like to use. They're also not open on Sundays.

| Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2012. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina or Tim with suggestions for topics. Should we run some previous sessions again (maybe something you really wanted to see but missed out on)? What type of topics are good, what type are bad?
