18th June is the monthly Meeting up on Holsworthy at the White Hart, start time about 1:30, (see list for information)

Don’t forget you can chat to us on IRC

irc.freenode.net port 6667 #dcglug

We have our own chat room for the tech jam which has been set up and is run by some of the young people who attend the jam. This is hosted on vltec but users are on both IRC servers.    There is a link on the Torbay Tech jam website for this.  We are also running our own Minetest server. so free free to ask for more information.

Further ahead the September Jam is 17th September which is also software freedom day, so any ideas or talks on free software welcome.

I have also been looking at scratch4arduino and have been making related blog posts on my website.   I am also in the process of putting together workshops / activities relating to this.

This is a quick preview of the April Jam

We will also be chatting the Dystopia group about free software and they will be giving some information on barriers to using IT.  Hopefully this will inspire people to take peoples needs in to account when creating software,  website, hardware and even printed forms.    If you can give any advice with regard to Accessibility features this would be really useful.
