So I’ve never been to one of these but i hear they can be pretty fun. We also have an QGM planned for the following Sunday April 21st so why not try and coordinate the two so we get a chance to talk about stuffs around the space.
If anyone wants to plan or help organize, contribute, sponsor i’ve created #shhh on slack and we can communicate there.
So as per the wiki posting about SHHH:
What
Open House (3 – 5pm)
Never been to a hack space before? Dying to see the VHS space? This is the perfect time to visit! VHS members will give you a tour around the space, show off some cool projects, and answer any questions you have. Many of our members share an interest in 3D printers, laser cutting, machining, crafting, electronics, robotics, programming, electronic music, and art. We welcome enthusiastic amateurs, or anyone with something interesting to share!
Show and Tell (All day)
Have you made something amazing? Are you in the process of building something that will become amazing? Are you just starting out and want to talk to people about your amazing idea? Come down to VHS and tell us about it. Bring your projects! Want to plan a demo? We can make that happen!
Super Happy Hacker House (7:30pm – Late)
Super Happy Hacker House (SHHH) is a social night where members, friends and guests gather for a social night of conversation, adult beverages, lightning talks, and super happy hacker games.
Lightning talks – (11PM).
A lightning talk is VHS’ version of an un-conference, where people do short presentation on any subject that they want. Unlike other presentations at conferences, lightning talks last only a few minutes (2 min or less) and friendly heckling is encouraged. Read a great Georgia Straight article about one of our previous open houses/SHHH!
Where
1601 Venables Street, Vancouver, BC Limited street parking is available just outside the space. Bikes can be parked in our loading bay for the night or locked up on the bike racks outside the front door. This map shows all the parking and amenities around the new space.
When
