[lug] first Hacking Society meeting in Golden / Denver-West

[Ed Hill]

Hi folks,

In an attempt to start a Golden/Denver-West chapter of the Hacking
Society:

  http://www.hackingsociety.org/

you're invited to join us at the Higher Grounds coffee shop in Golden on
Wednesday, Dec 11th from 7--10pm.  Higher Grounds is a great little spot
with a newly installed broadband connection serving an open 802.11b
network [1].  Its at the intersection of 14th and Washington in downtown
Golden (across 14th from the Table Mesa Inn).

So whats the Hacking Society?  The web site describes the goal as:

  "...foster geek community-building through the shared experience of
  hacking.  Of course, by 'hacking', I mean the more historic meaning
  of working on interesting projects (Jargon File 'hack' entry, sense
  6 [2]). Not the 'script kiddies trying to compromise boxes' meaning
  which has become what most people think of in relation to the term."

In addition to coding, HS meetings are a great venue to share/demo Free
and Open Source software, get assistance with Linux installs & upgrades,
ask others for help/advice, and enjoy hot beverages.

Hope to see [3] you there!

If you can't physically attend, you can join us virtually on IRC at
#hackingsociety on irc.community.tummy.com.   We may get together for
dinner beforehand at Woody's Pizza--email me if you're interested.

Ed


 [1] this message is being sent from Higher Grounds

 [2] Hacking: (6) vi. To interact with a computer in a playful and
     exploratory rather than goal-directed way.  "Whatcha up to?"
     "Oh, just hacking."

 [3] I'm the guy with the ThinkPad sporting the big "LNX" sticker
     picked up at a past CLUE meeting.  I'll bring extra power 
     strips and a loaner 802.11b PCMCIA card.
