Technical Meeting: Thursday March 12th

Mo Holahan will present Processing an Image Processing Programming language and development environment. Location: The usual place: RCTC's Heintz Center , Room HA107 , and time (6 pm).

Details on the Processing Presentation

http://processing.org/

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)

Social: February 13th, 6:30 pm

Make DVD episodes 1-4 will be shown at Tim M's house. Also available for viewing will be the Hackers R Peeps 2 video Kevin A brought us back from DefCon, and gaming for those who prefer it. Directions here. It'd be nice if some people brought snacks/beverages to contribute. If you have allergies, beware they do have pets.

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
