Details on the Processing Presentation
Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to program images, animation, and interactions. It is used by students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists for learning, prototyping, and production. It is created to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context and to serve as a software sketchbook and professional production tool. Processing is also used in connection with Arduino (which was the subject of our Feb meeting)
We'll also be celebrating Pi day a little early.
Social: Tuesday March 17th
We're celebrating Irish Heritage Day with potatoes, specifically potato guns! We'll also be constructing a Rube Goldberg device (including things like diet Coke and Mentos). People need to bring a contribution to make this social a success, more details and sign ups on the Social page.

Upcoming Meeting Crisis!
Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2009. 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? Also don't forget, Speakers earn up to $40 as an incentive for their presentation! Also see this page for a list of suggested topics http://www.k-lug.org/Meetings
