[Noisebridge-discuss] TONIGHT: Learn Surface Mount Soldering at Noisebridge‏‏‏

[Daniel Pitts]

I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed this workshop.  Thanks 
Sparkfun and thanks Noisebridge!

I'd like to see a workshop on PCB creation.  It seems to me that would 
be the next logical step for me personally, now that I can solder 0603 
SMD :-)
