We decided to create our own open meetup to discuss and learn about the Internet of Things. We encourage the curious, the hackers the entrepreneurs and the executives who are engaging in this area to come join us to listen to talks, share in conversation and networking. Each session we will have talks, "show and tells "and space to hack and network with others. Modelled on two phenomenally influential and successful groups, Mobile Monday and the catalytic Silicon Valley Homebrew Computer Club, we hope that we too can enable fun and exploration with this new technology area.

Pete Brown and Bala Sivakumar from Microsoft will be in town for A3E/NAMM 2015 where they are presenting about the future of audio / music on Windows 10. Join them for a fun and open discussion and demos covering IoT, makers, creative media, and more, all focused around C#, .NET, and the latest information on Windows 10.

For complete details and to RSVP, visit our MeetUp page.

First, Happy Kubernetes Birthday! This will be our Kube Birthday meetup, so we'll have cake.

We'll also be having a "installing/running Kubernetes on Bare Metal" extravaganza. This will include:

• Ryan Moe of IBM talking about running Kubernetes on his Raspberry Pi Cluster;

• An ARM64 box from the ARM consortium, set up for testing Kube on ARM64

• Josh Berkus's x86 Microcluster, and a demo for installing kubeadm in containers

If you have semi-portable hardware to install Kubernetes on, with any architecture, please let us know in the comments and bring it along.

Please RSVP on meetup.com if you are able to.

In addition to our meetup this month we're participating in the PDX Maker Week.

Every year makers from all over Portland open their doors for workshops, talks, open houses and more! This year That Maker Show is participating with an event - That Maker Show-case! It will feature a talk by thingsSDK Core Contributor Craig Dennis and co-host of That Maker Show and an extended Show and Tell showing all the projects from the show and some up-coming ones too! Bring your projects too!

This event is for Raspberry Pi/Arduino/Microcontroller enthusiasts to meet, do show-and-tell, mentor, learn and build. We welcome people of all backgrounds and levels, and will help new users get started. Instead of a "pot luck" we have a "parts luck" where you are encouraged to exchange project parts with others.

• What to bring Computer. Raspberry Pi and/or Arduinos if you have them. Projects that you want to share. Items for the "parts luck" swap bin.

• Important to know The shop where this is held only has space heaters - so please dress warmly on colder days. On very cold days, we will forego building and have a social in a heated space, if we can't find an alternative spot.

Space is limited! Please register only if you are committed to attending.

Become a DIY DJ with Raspberry Pi! Come tinker with us using the Raspberry Pi, a powerful open source micro-computer that is revolutionizing the DIY landscape. By writing code and building circuits, you will create and customize a simple DJ push pad (much like the controllers used to make electronic music).

Please register for the class via Eventbrite!
