We're back in time for one more HDDG meetup before the end of 2016.

This month we're pleased to welcome Alvaro Prieto. Alvaro is a hardware and firmware engineer who has been working throughout the bay area on hardware projects, collecting and creating tools as he goes. Many of these tools relate to quick prototyping and board-bringup. He will be talking about how they can be used on a daily basis at work or for hobby cheese projects.

We're also pleased to welcome Ariel Briner. He will be talking about the business side of electronics, specifically taking an idea and turning it into a product/company. He will discuss the pitfalls along the way, citing real world examples from his startup. Ariel is a full time hardware engineer working on testing drone system assemblies in the bay area.

As always, we welcome attendees to give 2 minute talks about their projects and companies (please see the organizers to get set up when you arrive).

We will have our usual spread of food and beverages. You should plan to bring the discussion about hardware (or whatever else you're passionate about).

Look forward to seeing you all there!
