We had a blast at the first meetup for Tam Makers, our new makerspace in Mill Valley. We hosted this free event at the wood shop at Tamalpais High School in Mill Valley on June 8, 2016.
A diverse group of people came to the visit the shop, learn about our classes and discuss how to grow our maker community. Participants ranged from experienced artists, technologists, makers and woodworkers, to people interested in learning new skills, as well as high school and middle school students and their parents.
We opened the shop at 6pm and folks started to connect right away, checking out some of our demos, showing off recent projects and touring the space. At 7pm, we gave a presentation on Tam Makers, and talked about our first courses, meetups and tools for adults and youth. We then discussed these programs as a group and received some really helpful feedback.
Most people were very interested in participating in Tam Makers and using the makerspace regularly. They also liked the mix of classes, ranging from maker art to technology and woodworking. Some people signed up for classes on the spot and most wanted to join more meetups. Many offered to volunteer as well. One person said this event had a great community feeling, unlike more commercially motivated makerspaces.
We’re really happy that this first meetup went so well and that so many folks want to participate actively. We look forward to collaborating with our new maker friends very soon!

Last week we held a VC4Africa meetup in London (On Dec. 4th, 2009) at which 20-30 people attended.
The group that convened was a diverse set of people including from UK, Ethiopia, South Africa, Senegal, Zimbabwe, Surinam, Kenya, Nigeria, India, Ghana and from many different professions(entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, lawyers etc).
The event went for well over three hours starting at 5:00pm and going past 8:00pm.
My impression was that most people went away having had some interesting conversations and exchanging ideas/information about projects and/or their interests. I hope in due time we will organize a follow on event and thank all those that made it to the event and for making it a lively/enjoyable session. Also thanks to Ben for the support in the promotion and oraganising of the event and everyone else that helped.
Look forward to connecting for a meetup in Addis!

¿Qué es bookcrossing ?
Bookcrossing es la acción de liberar libros "a lo salvaje" y a partir de ahÃ, seguirles el rastro. Bookcrossing.com es la web dónde esto se hace posible.
Cuándo empezó ?
La idea Bookcrossing fue concebida en marzo del 2001, y la web fue creada cuatro semanas más tarde, el 17 de abril de 2001. El crecimiento en sus 11 primeros meses fue lento con solo 100 miembros cada mes. Pero esto cambió en marzo del 2002 al salir a luz un artÃculo en la revista Book Magazine, con lo cual empezó una avalancha de nuevos miembros que aún continua en nuestros dÃas. El resultado fue que casi 300 nuevos miembros se registran cada dÃa en todo el mundo.
Quiénes somos?
Más de 500.000 BookCrossers se han registrado hasta la fecha con casi tres millones de libros fichados (nov. 06). Son personas de todas las edades, de todas las partes del mundo. El registro en la web es gratuito y obtienes el acceso a tu propia estanterÃa de libros. Claro que es imprescindible tenera acceso a internet y cierto amor por la literatura.
Qué hacen los bookcrossers?
BookCrossing es un fenómeno global, con personas de más de 150 paÃses desde la Antártida hasta Zimbabwe. Estados Unidos lidera el ranking con algo más del 44 % de miembros. Le sigue Gran Bretaña con el 10 %, Canadà y Alemania el 7 % y España en quinta posición mundial con el 5 %.

Los libros no saben de fronteras geográficas y a menudo viajan miles de kilometros saltando de un continente a otro.
Cómo funciona?
Los BookCrossers registran sus libros en la web y cada libro lleva un número único e identificativo llamado BCID (BookCrossing ID number), el cual sirve para ponerlo en la etiqueta que colocaremos en la cubierta de nuestro libro. Alguien que cace el libro seguirá las instrucciones de la etiqueta, dirigiéndose a la web www.bookcrossing.com y ver dónde ha estado el libro, quién lo ha leÃdo y qué han opinado sobr él su anteriores lectores. También el 'cazador' podrá dejar constancia de que ha encontrado el libro y que está a buen recaudo en sus manos.
El Por qué de esta práctica?
BookCrossing combina aventura, altruismo y literatura en un mezca única que los verdaderos bibliófilos encuentran irresistible. Es como enviar mensajes en una botella, o notas en globos de helio. BookCrossing nos transporta a nuestra infancia cuando pensábamos que jugar era los más importante en nuestra vida. Con esta conexión con la literatura, BookCrossing también crea la magnÃfica posibilidad, para que conjuntamente, padres y profesores incentiven el amor por la lectura a los más pequeños de nuestros hogares
shoot during the flickr meetup at anjung batu, melaka. cool white balance, and then the skies and the seas are adjusted using two layers of level.
Meetup w/ the Philly Strobist group, and some models. I called in my 2nd Cousin Chad and some of his friend to be extra models for us.
Special thanks to model Michelle, who did such a terrific job. I can't wait to have another shoot with her soon.
