Sounds good to me. I never had a real agenda other than "show up and talk about or work on open source hardware". Like dorkbot, no money changes hands, we don't vote for leaders, etc.


If I'm feeling better I will show up as I'm going stir-crazy being sick at home.

I just bought a CNC router - aluminum frame, looks like about 18" max travel. I 
could show it.

I will need some advice on the mechanics. It has what appears to be non 
standard couplings on the screws which will need to be replaced. Whatever 
connected to these must have also had some type of thrust bearing for that end 
of the screw. I will probably need help fabricating some type of bearing block.

Once I solve that issue I just need to add some NEMA 23 steppers and 
controllers; I have already started on these.

I am sick with the plague and suspect I won't be there tomorrow night.

So:

- Does anyone else have something they want to present, show-off, or talk about 
and can run the show in my absence?

- Should we punt the meeting entirely as I'm talking about 3d printers this 
Friday?
