A casual weekly virtual chat mostly focused on software development

Weekly Dev Chat is a place to ask questions, hear different view points, and get to know your fellow developers. Every week there is an initial topic posted to get the discussion started. Sometimes we discus the initial topic the entire chat, other times the topic changes several times through the natural flow of the conversation.

Everyone and anyone is welcome to join as long as you are kind, supportive, and respectful of others.

More details can be found on the Weekly Dev Chat website:

Please contact me if you have any suggestions to improve the chat or have any trouble connecting.

P.S. - Zoom link for chat is under the Online Event section of this Meetup event and is visible once you register.

We aim to foster a strong, supportive, and proficient Python community in the Edmonton area (and abroad!). Everyone interested in any aspect of Python development is welcome to join.

We meet on the second Tuesday of each month. Each week, we will listen to presentations and discuss Python news and events.

Visit https://www.edmontonpy.com for more information.

 
 
 

A short monthly meeting where we talk society business and support our awesome meetup community. Open to all, but membership is required to vote on anything related to the society. More details on membership can be found at https://devedmonton.com/become_a_member.

Meeting minutes will be posted in slack a week before the meeting. Old meeting minutes can be found here.

 
 
 

Please note that we now have a new meetup location in the Alberta Aviation Museum. Enter through the main entrance on the South side, and walk inside to the North end of the building to find the group.

We have not yet determined what the topic will be this month, so please check back a few days before the meetup for further details.

What is Open Hardware?

The Open Hardware Meetup is a place where all kinds of people can share an interest in the intersection of hardware, software, connectivity, and user experience. When combined, these elements create a new art which blends the lines of beauty and technology.

Even as computing devices have become more powerful, the underlying technology is now more and more available for everyone. With a few mouse clicks, overnight shipping, and a few hours work, you can build your own versions of ground-breaking products based on simple open platforms like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Beaglebone, Galileo, Edison, and more. Even better, you can create something that has not physically existed. It is the flexibility and power of computing, expressed in physical, tangible form.

Who is it for?
Everyone is welcome, from casual observers to nascent hobbyists to advanced techs. Presentations will range from beginner how tos, to highlighting cool projects from Edmonton and Alberta. There is almost always food before and drinks after. We’re always open to new speakers and topics as requested by our members.

Examples of things we’ve done
-learn to solder,
-basics of arduino,
-automated basketball robots from a local high school team
-projected surfaces and their use in theatre set design,
-magnetic computer displays for the visually impaired

Examples of things we want to do
-lighting, home automation, wearables, drones/navigation, 3D printing, arduino, raspberry Pi, beaglebone and other open hardware platforms.
-workshops,
-build days, similar to hackathon, where a group of people with varying skills create and finish projects
-specialty sub-clusters where people can specialize in wearables, lighting and home automation, maker technology, and drones

We welcome you to Open Hardware Meetup and together we’ll create wow.
