=== Technical Meeting:  Thursday November 8th ===
Med City Drone presentation by founder Ryan Kuisle.


=== December Technical Meeting / Social:  Saturday December 15th, 1-4 pm ===
Dennis and Connie are hosting!  They'll provide snacks, but it's bring your own beverage/beverage to share.  Also, bring your favorite board or card games.


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.

Note: To request a wiki account, please join the mailing list and post a message.

We can use presentations for upcoming meetings, please see a list of ideas if you're willing but lacking a topic.


LUG News

We generally meet monthly for technical presentations (2nd Thursday of the month, 6 pm, RCTC), and monthly for socializing (varies). We no longer meet monthly for lunches, if you are interested in reviving this tradition please contact an officer.

Did you used to be on our email list and suddenly haven't gotten email for months? We had a glitch and it caused many people to get unsubscribed; unfortunately Tina doesn't have a way of knowing who all we lost. Please use "Linux mailing list" on the left to get yourself re-added, sorry!
