*** LOCATION CHANGE***
Where would we be in our first year if we didn't have another location change?. This time is different and we're eyeing this to be a more permanent home going forward.
This month's meetup and the rest for the foreseeable future will be held at the Dallas Makerspace in Carrollton! We'll be using the North Lobby Classroom near in the south wing of the facility. This place has everything... tables, chairs, a large TV for presentations, and so much more. I look forward to seeing everyone there!

Meeting Details
May 15, 2023
Topic: Self-hosting your own services at home and in the cloud
Description: You don't need expensive hardware to run a server. In fact, any old laptop or PC can be used to securely host a wide variety of services in your home for free! Or for the cost of a virtual private server, you can have your own cloud storage, search engine, or video chat service that doesn't sell your personal data to advertisers.
A note of the technical depth: This month's topic will delve into the Linux command line, Docker containers, and networking concepts. However, this is one of the few workshops that will get our hands dirty with the tech while most other workshops strive to be accessible to average users. All experience levels are still welcome to learn!
Feel free to bring your laptops and we'll dive right in! If you've got some questions you'd like to talk about, put them in the Meetup comments below!
