Ask an Engineer – May 1st 10pm ET – LIVE FROM CAMBRIDGE, MA

Pt 2868

We will be broadcasting live from Microsoft NERD, Cambridge, MA during O’Reilly’s “Foo Camp East”. We’re not sure exactly how it will go since it’s a mobile broadcast, but we’re going to give it a go. We’ll have a special guest(s) – they “may” include… Amanda “w0z” Wozniack, Becky Stern, Leah Buechley and others.

Chat details!

  • Visit our new “chat” section on Adafruit at 10pm ET, Saturday nights
  • Or visit our Ustream page
  • For old schoolers, you can use IRC, you’ll need a Ustream log/pass, check out the Ustream IRC how-tos here and here
  • We are #adafruit-industries6796 on IRC server chat1.ustream.tv
  • There will be a trivia question at the end of the night as always!

If things break, or there isn’t a show – chat amongst yourself in the chat 🙂
