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!

On the 30th of July 2009 we hosted the first VC4Africa Meetup in Nairobi. More than 30 members came together to share ideas about doing business in the country. A special thanks goes out to VC4A member Bart Lacroix for taking the initiative!
The first VC4Africa Meetup was held at Katch the Sun in Kampala, Uganda on June 30th, 2009. We had about 25 members show up and spent several hours networking and getting to know more about one another!
The energy and enthusiasm for this meeting really tapped into this idea that we should be connecting anywhere and everywhere people want to come together and talk about all of the opportunities and possibilities in Africa.
The VC4Africa meetup concept was born and we have now seen members take similar initiatives across the world. As of 2011 more than 25 meetups have been organized and counting....

The north Sound Photo Meetup Group
It was a perfect day, amazing whether, barbecuing on the boat, Eagles and most of all a group of amazing people. I think this is one of the first times I actually came back with the same amount of people as I left with.
Practicing using an ND lens filter to reduce the depth-of-field when taking photos with off-camera flash outdoors. The ambient was around f/11 at 1/125 and ISO 200. With the 3-stop ND lens filter, that dropped the aperture to f/4 with a much shallower depth of field.
