[CALUG] Silver Spring Mini Maker Faire on Sept 29, 2013

[Phil Shapiro]

Hi calug community, 


The upcoming Silver Spring Mini Maker Faire is shaping up to be an exciting event. 
http://makerfairesilverspring.com/ Free and family-friendly. Thanks for helping to spread 
the word about it. 


In my mind the maker movement and the open source movement are in truth just one 
movement. From Arduino to Raspberry Pi -- all the coolest stuff in the maker movement 
is open source. 


I'm a volunteer supporter of this event. I'll be there showing some basics of Google SketchUp. 
My friend Bonnie Roskes, who has written more than 15 books about SketchUp, will also be showing some SketchUp tips and techniques. Bonnie runs her own publishing company in DC that focuses on SketchUp. http://3dvinci.net 


Check out how creative she is in these YouTube videos.

Until I created this, I didn't realize that OpenOffice Impress does such a nice job of exporting HTML. You just choose Export from the File menu and it creates lovely HTML files.
