OzBerry - IoT Makers @ Chatswood Library

# OzBerry – 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 – 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 .... **🌟 Normal Kids Session** 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM The library has already booked in the kids by now. Please offer support if they need it. **🎉 General OzBerry (Happening alongside the kids' session)** 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM Just our general group in the background quietly working on the latest projects. **🍽️ Lunch Break** 12:30 – 1:00 PM – Grab a bite and relax! **💬 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. 🧳 **4:00 PM – 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

SUPERGROUP - Studio Jam #75

SSP WED - Northside Photography Chat

Meet for chat over a drink and snack or dinner. Tonight, if you are in the mood, we can discuss camera setup, technique, editing images or photo critique. If you wish to discuss any aspects of your camera or photography technique, please bring the manual and your camera. You may bring your laptop with your editing software installed & I will bring a laptop with Lightroom Classic installed. We can discuss any aspect of editing your images. Most image editors are similar, so even if using a different editor, the techniques are similar, mainly due to the menu system. Feel free to bring image(s) on a usb stick, SD, microSD memory card or an iPhone that supports Airdrop. Using Lightroom we can work on extracting the story of the image. If you want photo critique, pls bring print, or full size images, preferably not resized, on a usb stick, SD, microSD memory card or an iPhone that supports Airdrop. Please do not ask for a critique on images displayed on a mobile phone, too small a display to be critical. More info on the venue here chatswoodrsl.com.au Plenty of free parking available nearby as well as the bus stop at the door or metro & rail just 50m away.

As the day will be mainly outside, breathing in the fresh coastal air, dress for the weather and bring protection from the sun and water to drink. Also bring a small towel to dry your feet if you want to walk in the harbour water. We will take the 1430 bus back to Manly Wharf or you may wish to linger a little longer.
