tl;dr: Different this month, watch the calendar. Social/flyering meetup 8/1 @ NoHo Brewery, Solder Together/Talk & Tinker 8/8 @ River Valley Co-op, survey

Hi all, So this month will be a little different and some things are still up in the air, but the calendar at MakeFixHack.org will always have the most up to date information. This coming Tuesday 8/1, we’re going to mix it up a little and meet at the Northampton Brewery at 6 for a more Talk than Tinker meetup. We won’t have workspace this time, but laptops are still welcome. I’m also thinking it might be a good evening to put up some flyers around town too, so maybe after a little refreshment (for those who want) and conversation, we could take a stroll and hit the various bulletin boards, depending on the weather and flow of the meetup. The following week, we’re back at the Easthampton River Valley Co-op from 6-9 for another Talk & Tinker with the soldering project I mentioned last time as a co-making project:
Assembled light-up top Spinning Light-up top
This won’t exactly be a workshop or class, so there won’t be direct "how to solder" instruction, but tips and assistance will be available from someone nearby. Due to the space and supplies available, this session will be limited to around 10 people, so please email me at info+solder@makefixhack.org if you’re interested. Also, due to the rules for use of the room, this is a "private" event for our group, so please don’t share it on social media or elsewhere without asking first. There is no cost for the kits, and tools will be provided, but donations are welcome and will help fund future projects and bring MakeFixHack to life.

As I mentioned

Member Survey

Here’s the link to the very brief survey one more time. We’ve received some good feedback from it already, but the more input I get from this community, the better I can plan for our future. It’s just a few questions about what you’re looking for in this community and in a future hackerspace/makerspace/workshop, so I hope you can spare a minute or two. It’s just 4 important multiple choice questions, plus a few optional short answers. It’s anonymous, hosted on our own server, and I’ll share the compiled results in a couple weeks. Thank you in advance for taking a moment for the survey, it is very much appreciated.

If you’re interested in joining us on Discord, here’s an invite link: https://discord.gg/gXefMRC5 This server is graciously hosted by one of our member for all sorts of local happenings, information, events and discussions, so there’s much more than just maker-type discussions going on there. Discussions about native plants, bikes, events, town meetings, and more are there too. If you do join, please remember to make a quick post in #introductions to help everyone get to know each other.

Hope to see you at a meetup soon!
