Hi folks! I will be introducing OpenSCAD, a DSL for CAD modeling. It is a finite, functional scripting language that outputs shapes ready for 3d printing. It has a C like syntax that is parsed into an OpenCSG tree, that is then compiled down to a .stl triangular mesh. It supports all source code version control unlike most 3d design software, and also has a powerful library system for modular designing. If you install it ahead of time (or when you get here) i can do a live coding walk through. http://www.openscad.org/ http://www.openscad.org/cheatsheet/ On May 3, 2014 12:00 PM, <wlug-request@mail.wlug.org> wrote:

Kevin Harrington has volunteered to give WLUG a tour of Technocopia, a new maker/hacker space just a few blocks from campus. He's also volunteered to talk about a programming language I forget the name of. I figure we could meet in the Campus Center, and then walk down to Technocopia.
So here's the plan:
WLUG Meeting Thursday, May 8 2014.
7:00 PM meet at WPI Campus Center, Chairman's Room.
7:15 PM or so, head down to Technocopia, 95 Prescott Street, Worcester, MA 01605
More information about the hackerspace is available here:
We'll go out for pizza afterwards.

So is the may meeting going to be on the 8th?
If so.. does anybody have a burning desire to talk about something?

I just checked http://www.wlug.org/ and saw:
WLUG's Upcoming Meeting Date/Time: Thursday, April 10 Location: WPI Campus Center, Mid-Century Room 331
I nevertheless assert, on information and belief, that the next meeting is TODAY, the eighth of May. I expect to be there. It might be worth reminding the list (as hereby done), since there has been so much other list traffic since the information that led to my belief was transmitted: Kevin Harrington NR <kharrington@neuronrobotics.com> writes:

I am not sure whether to expect a road-trip or a software demo, but leave my fate in Harrington's hands. Looks like latecomers may lose or become lossage. -- Keith
