September… Again? Sure!

Hey all!

So, at our somewhat-regularly-scheduled meeting on September 6th we were approached by @transranea with an offer to speak about Faraday.  The only catch is, she will be leaving town before our October meeting!

So, never wanting to miss a cool talk, we decided to hold two – count ’em – two meetings this month!

The next meeting will be September 26th, at 6PM once again at the Wilde Roast in Minneapolis.  It definitely fit our needs last time, so we plan on being there for the foreseeable future – Our October meeting will still take place at the beginning of the month, and we plan to be at the Wilde Roast for that one as well.

See you all there!

DC612 – Tuesday, September 6th – 6pm @ the Wilde Roast

DC612 is back in September for a special First Tuesday of the Month edition!

We’re excited to be welcoming Jim Hall, founder and coordinator of the FreeDOS project!

Over twenty years ago, as Microsoft announced that it would end support for the MS-DOS operating system, James Hall announced to the world that he intended to create a public domain version of the OS in order to keep the universe of character-based DOS software alive. Hall’s “PD-DOS” project eventually became FreeDOS, which today supports an ecosystem of developers, retro gamers, and diehards who will give up their WordStar when you pry the floppies from their cold, dead fingers.

Expect a firsthand overview of the history of the project and a Q & A that can’t be missed!

See everyone at our new location!  Wilde Roast Cafe in NE Minneapolis!

UPDATE – July Meeting Location Change

We just learned that Community Keg House has shut down!

After many frantic phone calls, I managed to secure a room at Kafé 421 in Minneapolis at the normal time of 6PM.  They were kind enough to book us last-minute at no charge, so please save your appetites and order something there.

421 14th Avenue SE, Minneapolis, MN 55414

Sorry for the confusion!

DC612 Meeting Thursday, July 14th – 6PM @ Community Keg House

Hello!

This month’s meeting will again be at the Community Keg House in Minneapolis.

As this is the last meeting before the DefCon in Vegas, I will be doing a short presentation on what exactly DefCon is.  I’ll cover some of the things you can expect to see, give some general survival tips, and share some cool experiences from cons past.

If you are planning on going and it is your first time, this is a great chance to ask questions and help prepare.  And if you are on the edge about going, hopefully this will convince you!  Obviously those of you who have been there before and will be returning need no convincing  🙂

See you then!
