Hi all,
Is there any interest in a bi-annual or quarterly Bay Area Propeller Special Interest Group meeting ?
Thanks,

Indeed. Guess it depends on the "centroid" of people interested.
About a year ago I spent the day on a job in Sacramento, and just by luck, that evening, there was a propeller group meeting in Rocklin, just a few miles up the road. So I went, and it was great to see the presentations and have a chance to ask questions. I thought I was pretty knowledgeable on the propeller, but I learned a lot that night.
I'm in Walnut Creek, just a bit east of Berkeley. I work in Pleasanton most weekdays, so I could probably make it down to the San Jose area some evening.
I could possibly host something here in Berkeley. EME Systems facility does not have a big meeting room, and the space is cluttered, but there is a big parking lot that is usually empty on weekends.
As Tracy mentioned traffic is a big factor in the Bay Area. Of course facility is another ....
I'm open to a weekend jaunt in Berkeley if Tracy's facility is available and reasonable. Got chairs?
Thanks,

The Santa Cruz idea sounds great! Facility space, projector, and a cool ocean breeze ?
Santa Cruz, Berkeley, or Milpitas?
Best I can do in the Milpitas "centroid" is dutch lunch at a Thai restaurant.
Thanks,

Note that the local HomeBrewRoboticsClub has a pretty solid core of Propeller folks.
Hanno Sander speaks pretty regularly, and his dad is usually at the meetings. They
meet twice a month---once a SIG and once a general meeting.
If you do prop stuff and you are local, you should definitely checkout the HBRC.

I couldn't be a twice a month regular. Propably worth a visit.
