Hi Corey,<div><br></div><div>What if I do NOT <span style>have access to a laser, plasma, vinyl, or other 2d, CNC cutting tool, but I DO want to learn how to compose documents for it? ...because I'm sort of a techie and I like learning new stuffs. Can I come learn? Or do I need some prior knowledge about...any of this?</span></div>

<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">The answer, I am not a member of NoiseBridge, and I am hosting this meeting. NoiseBridge is a community that includes a small subset of that community who are paying members. NoiseBridge is supported by both membership dues and by donations from within this community. This community is also full of people who contribute in non-monetary ways (for instance, I am hosting this class.)</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I do recommend that people who visit consider giving a donation but there will not be anyone at the door asking for admission or checking membership. If you would like to contribute in non-monetary ways, there is a list of chores that need to be done on a daily basis, but those, too, are optional.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Please, just come over and be your excellent selves. That is what we expect. Donations... contributions...help at all...are all certainly a measure of excellence! ;-)</div>

<p> :-) I use :-) for my bullets because * takes 4 keypresses on my phone ;-) thanks for your comments, legit, sarcastic, or otherwise!</p><div><div>

<p>Do you have access to a laser, plasma, vinyl, or other 2d, CNC cutting tool? Do you want to learn how to composed documents for it? Do you want a clean, easy, free tool to handle it all?</p>
<p>Then meet me at NoiseBridge on May 15th, 7pm for a half hour tour of Inkscape, in which we will:<br>
:-) learn how to use Inkscape<br>
:-) learn how to make complete, unbroken paths<br>
:-) learn how to optimize lead ins<br>
:-) learn how to compensate for the cutting width of the tool<br>
:-) And how to deal with the dozens of other caveats that we all face when working with cutting tools</p>
<p>I will take you through the composition of a document that hits all the caveats I have experienced, for free. Just show up Tuesday, May 15th at 7pm. Class will start on time so we can clear out of the way for another meeting at 8pm.</p>
