The September BR407 meeting will take place on Friday 09/18/2009 at Altamonte Mall starting around 6 PM as usual. I will be one year older and wiser since my birthday is a few days before the meeting. Well I will be older anyway... ;)

We have a few people in town who are trying to start up an Orlando area HackerSpace and we have invited them to join us at the meeting to discuss this project. Hopefully, they will have done some more research and can present us with the information that they have found. It appears from their new web page that they have been working on it.

I usually show up for the Friday meetings around 5:15-5:30 and sit towards the front of the food court so that I can easily be found with my laptop and BR shirt. You do not have to come that early! We have many people who are not able to make it until after work so you are welcome to stroll in anytime that you feel like it! Most people show up around 6 PM and we do not start any presentations until 6 at the earliest. You may miss a few things, but you are still welcome to show up for as long as you can. There is not set schedule or timeline and people are welcome to come and go as they please.

We will also have our normal meeting content...

Topics: September 2009

I would like to discuss some article ideas. I would love for BR407 to be more active in the writing scene for 2600, BR magazine, and anything else. Chatting is all well and good, but how about producing some content?

If anyone has some presentations, please email me and let me know so I can post that information here. People are more likely to come when they see a group of people actually participating and sharing information through presentations, projects, or other activity. That is what makes BinRev meetings different.

Our video project appears to be dead. The person who was working on our video disappeared a few months back, so this project is back on hold. We may continue on without him if anyone else is interested.

Some of you who are regulars to the greatest hacking forums that the world has ever known may already know that we have some T-shirts printed up. I sometimes have them with me at the meeting, but you should contact me in advance to bring specific sizes to be sure. They will be cheaper than ordering online! For people who buy the shirts in-person, they will be $15 cash and carry. If you order online, it will be at least $20 (each) to cover shipping and handling. Buy them at the meeting if you want one!

Please start inviting and publicizing these meetings! We will be discussing some local event ideas and I would love to have some input and support from those of you who may be local. I really need to get some other people also participating and presenting along with me. I put some flyers into the magazines at Barnes and Nobles to see if we could generate some interest. Post some flyers or announcements at your schools or just spread the dates by word of mouth to friends. We want the meeting to grow instead of just being the same people every month, so please help out as much as you can.
