Planning a coding party/club that never ends.
Club lab to be located on Wellingdon/Hasting.

Looking for undergrad, grads, and newly
employed interested in pizza and hacking.

Club will be
0. a non-profit org (eventually--it makes
the donation-based tax-writeoffs possible
for our donors):
0.1 first we need a constitution (recycled
from the hard earned experiences of past
geek clubs) then we just need...
1. geekness (please come to code and
hack, if you don't code it's probably
because you are still learning and want to learn),
2. manpower (all of us take turn putting
up dance parties, meetings, community
volunteering, letter-writing for computer
and bandwidth donations from industries),
3. friendliness (we constantly look for
new blood through open houses and
active recruitment during opening
week of every semester and we want to
help make other's first year of college
experience less intimidating),
4. sense of family (always wash your
dishes, keep the nuker clean, take a bath)
5. dedication (everyone is expected to
do one major project per semester).
6. and independance (we don't beg for
school assistance, nor want a piece of
your student body fee--we pay for our
own club houses and raise money
ourselves--we try hard to get donations.
we pay rents.)

Club will not be:
A. a greek house (if we have underage
folks, our parties stay alcohol free),
B. a student body or special interest
C. a user group of any OS or language
(the club is agnostic, don't come to
preach.. but do teach..if random club
member is willing to give a seminar
on embedded linux or dissect a
siggraph paper in front of a crowd--
we won't complaint)
D. a general stinky place to lurk/check
email/surf pr0n/buy cheap soda (there
are plenty of school places to do that
already--try the radio station),
E. a chance to build 3l337 black ice
hacker circles with access to trillion
dollar uber ship-simulators (try lowly
embeddible motorola chips robots
and automations's instead--or porting
GNU stuff--that will be the more
likely norm with our budget)

Please contact me and join us in
applying and planning what we're
gonna try first:
