Sydney Monthly Social Tech Meetup!
Thu, Nov 26, 6:30 AM**Welcome to the Sydney Monthly Social Tech Meetup!** Running for at least 10 years now (no-one is really exactly sure when we started) we're just a monthly social meetup of techies around Sydney, held at the Blackwattle Bar and Brewery in Alexandria. All welcome, or whether you're a hobbyist, student, or working as a software engineer, UI/UX designer, AI specialist or data scientist, in tech management or product, or maybe just like hanging out with techies. There's no formal talks, just a social catch up towards end of the week (and the end of the month!) The [Blackwattle Bar and Brewery](https://www.blackwattlebrewery.com.au/) is a great family run pub in Alexandria that has plenty of food and drink options, including beers brewed on site. The Blackwattle is about a 10 minute walk from Green Square station and Waterloo metro stations, which are each only about 5 minutes from Central/Town Hall. It's about a 15 minute walk from Redfern station. And there's plenty of bus routes that go nearby also! Looking forward to seeing you there!

OzBerry - IoT Makers @ Chatswood Library
Fri, Nov 20, 11:00 PM# OzBerry โ Saturday, November 21st, 2026 Hi everyone! We're now less than two weeks away from our last OzBerry get-together for 2026, and I'm hoping we can make it a good one! No two OzBerry meetings are ever quite the same. I never really know what to expect, what we'll end up doing, or even who might turn up. That's part of the fun! I'm always on the lookout for someone willing to give a presentation, as I think having a guest presenter really adds something special to the meeting. If you have something interesting you'd like to share, even a short talk of 5 โ 30 minutes (or longer if you let me know first), that would be fantastic. Don't worry about making it too formal. If you're not quite ready for November, we can always pencil you in for our January meeting instead. A couple of things I've been playing with... This week I've been experimenting with using an old mobile phone as a wireless microphone, allowing me to record the birds in my backyard and send the audio straight to my laptop. I'm thinking of taking things a little further and perhaps investing in a better microphone to record the local bats. Who knows what interesting noises they get up to when we're not listening! I also can't remember whether I've previously demonstrated how I organise my photographs and manage my backups. I might run through that as well, if there's enough interest. It's free, works surprisingly well, and saves a lot of headaches. And speaking of backups... you all do a proper, regular backup of your important files, don't you? Or are you one of those people who believes it'll never happen to them? So, please come along, bring your curiosity, share something interesting, and perhaps drag a friend along as well. New faces are always welcome. I am really looking forward to seeing you all for our final OzBerry of the year! Timetable .... **๐ Normal Kids Session** 10:00 AM โ 12:00 PM The library has already booked in the kids by now. Please offer support if they need it. **๐ General OzBerry (Happening alongside the kids' session)** 10:00 AM โ 12:30 PM Just our general group in the background quietly working on the latest projects. **๐ฝ๏ธ Lunch Break** 12:30 โ 1:00 PM โ Grab a bite and relax! **๐ฌ 1:00 PM Normal OzBerry Session** We will most likely not be combining with the Robotics and AI group for November and we are in the Creator Space all day. ๐งณ **4:00 PM โ Wrap Up** Pack up, head home, maybe write a bit more code, and dream up something fun to share next time. I hope that you can make it this month. It seems like ages since I have been able to come. Cheers Erik
