[ELECTRON] Proposed new club + Arduino meet up

Thu Oct 13 20:26:34 UTC 2011

Thanks all for coming to the Glasgow Open Source Hardware Group meeting.

It was good to see you all.

Anyway here is the website http://goshg.org.uk.

There is a list of the hardware that we will need under the reprap project

 Feel free to add and edit and one wanting administrator privileges let me
know.

 I have also add a list of parts for the reprap. If anyone has some things
they are willing to give ......

Thanks

kieran.
