BEGINNERS: If you are new to Unity3D, please take the time to go through some of the tutorials found on YouTube and at the main Unity3D website:
There is a lot you can learn by downloading the free software, watching beginner videos, and playing around in Unity. The more you know before you arrive, the more you will get out of the event.
Beginners are welcome, but pleases understand that this is not a college computer lab and you need to bring a laptop if you want hands on experience.
Parking - You can park in the driveway or on the street near my house. I park on the street occasionally and have never had a problem. There is also an office building with an open parking lot less than a block away if you are not comfortable parking on the street. But of course, I assume no responsibility for any tickets or towing and you should look into it further yourself if you are concerned about it.

Hi all, Howard and I met yesterday to get some more concrete plans in place for the direction of this game. I've updated the tasks in github and also have started assigning them to specific milestones. That way we don't waste time in this meetup. I'm sure it'll be a fun and productive day for us all. See you all there.

Howard & James (and anyone else without a car),
Since Howard kindly offered to pick people up at the metro stop, maybe all of us coming on the metro can coordinate a time to get there so he only has to make one run?
Or worst case that way we can split a taxi ride.July 31, 2014

Can someone give me a ride to the jam? I live in Alexandria, but don't have private transportation

Same here, I'm not really sure how I'm getting there. Maybe we can split a car2go or something?

I can pick you up at a metro stop if that helps (Dunn Loring) - Or maybe Stephanie & Chris can bring James since they live in the same area (you all should connect either way being so close to each other). Splitting a car2go is a good idea if it is not too expensive - email privately and let us know if you decide to do that.

Don - Good idea. I think most people would love to see the new Kinect 2.0 camera in action.
