In an effort for internal projects and improvements, CT Hackerspace is implementing “Tiger Teams” in addition to Action Meeting Tuesdays. CTH is creating a list of projects and team leaders to work on various efforts. See a board member for more details or to start your own project.

This year’s General Meeting will happen prior to our holiday party for the added convenience of the members.

December 18th at 7:30PM, following General Meeting.

CT Hackerspace celebrates our new PC lab featuring 9 Desktops, 2 large screen overhead displays all hard wired to our gigabit switch. With the intended use in for teaching and collaborating programming, CAD CAM, and web design, it’s still viable for some entertainment use as a base for some great LAN party and gaming use!

This quick online post is in reminder of the power of community. CT Hackerspace exists and grows because of everyone’s participation. Yes, monthly commitments and donations helps the space exist, but it is the volunteer work everyone does that maintain and grows our community and environment. To help plan and promote these activities, there is now a new menu tab on the CTHackerspace Homepage.

As you know, we try to keep rules to a minimum as we all respect the hackerspace and community. Due to a recent ongoing problems over the last few months of pests finding discarded food remnants in trash containers, the board has requested that all your food related trash, recyclables, and empty containers be taken with you out of the space at the end of your visit – This includes cans and bottles purchased from the refrigerator.

If you kept saying you wanted to go, and couldn’t for whatever reasons, this is your last chance.

CT Hackerspace welcomes the Connecticut area Home Shop Machinist group on April14th at 2pm.  The Connecticut area Home Shop Machinist group is a local community of Hobbyist machinists and enthusiasts. This is an excellent opportunity to meet other hobbyists and learn new techniques or share your projects with others.

Home shop machining is often a solitary hobby, as are most hobbies now according to “Bowling Alone”. The the Connecticut area Home Shop Machinist group (CTHSM) is an attempt to get area Home Shop Machinists’s to know one another, and thus make our hobby a little less solitary and more fun for everyone. The Connecticut HSM Group usually meets on the Sunday each month at local member’s shops. We are honored and excited to host the CTHSM meeting at our space. Please join us for an interesting afternoon.
