Welcome!  We're a friendly bunch, so just come prepared to ask
questions, butt in with opinions and have fun. 

I'll be bringing my OrangePi3 LTS board tonight, maybe a keyboard and
mouse so we can see how well it works on the big screen.  Assuming I
have the right side connectors.

Oh and Joe, if you're bringing equipment, make sure you bring all the
video adapters you think you;ll need, and then some more.  It's always
a pain! 

Cheers,
John
