[Noisebridge-discuss] Arduino based TV-B-Gone workshop (was: Re: Ready to restart Arduino Thursdays at Noisebridge)‏

[Ariel Waldman]

Right now, October 28th sounds perfect! I say announce the day/time
officially and see who flocks. If it starts in the evening, I could
forward it on to some coworkers who have been interested in learning.

P.S. (I'm happy too! My boyfriend lives in Berlin :)
