[Noisebridge-discuss] Searching for EagleCad workshop, anyone, anyone

[Jonathan Foote]

I have an EagleCad design I need to tape out* today or tomorrow.

I could do this step-by-step at Noisebridge as kind of a workshop if
anyone is interested.


*tape out = make Gerber files for submission to a fab house.**

**Despite information from people who are Wrong On The Internet, "tape
out" comes from the practice of recording files on a magnetic tape
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9-track_tape) to be sent via postal
mail, not by using sticky tape on a home-etched PCB.)
