Hello Hackers, Makers, and video game players.

The next Noisebridge Gaming Archivists Live Arcade Cabinet project
coordination meeting will be on Friday 2018-03-09 at 20:00. We'll meet in
Church , but may also be working out in front of the Sparkle Forge.

If you would like to help get involved in the project, this is a good place
to start.

Updates:

--We're still looking for a 23"-25" CRT with a curved screen. Once we get
one, we'll need help modding it to accept RGB input, similar to this:

--We have many of the things we need to begin setting up the Gaming and
Streaming systems. People will be in the space working on these on Tuesday
Night 2018-03-06, we'll review their progress at the Friday coordination
meeting.

--We need to fabricate a means mounting the ports of retro controller to
USB converters on to mountable faceplates that can be installed above the
controller board below the CRT.

--We'll start building a wood mock up of the cabinet during  the weekend of
March 10 to 11 to use for cabinet design development; to workout the final
cabinet design. This will be cheap plywood, 2x4s, and screws, but it should
be fun.

--If you are familiar with Twitch streams, you may have seen some of those
nice intros, outros, and animations that streamers use on their channels.
We're looking for help making some of this for the Noisebridge Twitch
channel.

If you can help with any of these tasks, or have questions or advice,
please email the discussion list: noisebridge-discuss at lists.noisebridge.net

Cheers!
