Re: February Raspberry Pi meeting

March: 

Ok so Pi day (March 1) for the anniversary is now official.  

Check out Berkeley on the map https://www.raspberrypi.org/jam/#map-section 

To get listed by Pi Foundation rules you need an event page with a link to 
the foundations child safety guidelines.  

So I created an eventbright page https://www.eventbrite.com/e/berkeley-raspberry-pi-jam-tickets-91996019571
 I made it with 5 spots as I am worried about space.  
Not sure if the official meeting kit (placards and signs) will arrive in time.  So my little sign will have to do.  

I am trying to get my friend Phil to come by (in March) to give a little talk or presentation.  I'll try to confirm next week 
when we have a face to face.  Right now he has texted "sounds fun"  He has Pi's as media server and Pi-hole and others 
turning on fans and pumps for heating and cooling.  Also for work he has a set of Pi Zero's in gadget mode which 
allow him to configure headless servers (I don't know how it works - he has said the code is proprietary but maybe 
he can explain a little anyways)

I am interested in any leads toward speaker or demonstration.  

Also Peter Mui has our meeting listed on his Meetup group: https://www.meetup.com/Raspberry-Pi-SF-Bay-Area/events/nnqnnrybcdbdb/ 

February: 

Tomorrow.  Evidently there is some Sports Ball thing going on (you see how clueless I am.  Only found out this week) .  That should 
mean that we will have plenty space and ample close-by parking.  You are all welcome to come by.

As always:  
- The meeting is in a shared public space, and I expect that we can respect the business 
- and other patrons. 
- I will bring a power strip with a couple usb power outputs, but it has been pretty much 
- BYOPi (Bring Your Own Pi)  
- That said, if you have an idea and just need some stuff to try out, let me know and I'll 
- bring it if I can.  
- It is not exclusive to the Pi computer.  But anything in the DIY or Maker ethos is good. 

So on the Conspire list (http://linuxmafia.com/mailman/listinfo/conspire) it was suggested that this event 
be included in the BALE list (http://linuxmafia.com/bale/)  Now we are official thanks to Rick.  
Rick did point out that the Berkeley Pi meeting has no web presence.  I'll try to fix that as soon as possible.  
Seems appropriate to actually host the webpage on a Pi.  I am thinking a Pi 3 hosting a webpage that 
announces meetings and meeting notes.  That might be what I'll work on this Sunday.  

Also on the agenda:  Discuss March meeting.  

This years Pi Jam is on the Leap day weekend (Feb 29 and March 1) 
https://www.raspberrypi.org/jam/big-birthday-weekend/ (for me the link is showing last years 2019, 
hopefully they'll update soon for 2020)  The Raspberry Pi was introduced 8 years ago!  
This coincides with our regular meeting so I'll try to get us on the official Pi Jam map.  But it is already kinda 
late.  Maybe I'll just slap together a quick eventbright page and apply for a spot on the Pi Jam map.  

Also the Arduino anniversary is on March 21'st.  Should we have an event then?  
Or Π day 3.14, March 14th
