SGVLUG: Reconnect with SGVHAK

This is primarily an in-person meeting at Supplyframe Design Lab with support for remote participation via Zoom.

Please register here and the Zoom link will be emailed to you. This is mainly to facilitate remote speakers, but we will have a volunteer to carry a laptop around and pointing the webcam at anything interesting.

If you miss the meeting or want to connect before the meeting, you can join our Slack (#sgvhak channel)

SGVHAK is a maker group based in the San Gabriel Valley and originally a special interest group of the SGVLUG. The group has been dormant the past couple of years, but we are looking to be more active with in-person meetings this year.

Our group serves to connect fellow software and hardware geeks in the Los Angeles Basin and specifically the San Gabriel Valley. Our members meet to share some of the projects they've been working on and get ideas for new ones. Our intention is to spur collaboration and enthusiasm.

Do you like working on hardware projects? Did you get a Raspberry Pi/Arduino with the intentions of doing something cool? Do you wish that there was a local group where you can meet up with like-minded folks and show off your projects? Come join us, show off your projects, and let us know how we can support each other as a community.
