PSIGMATECK Mainevent One was a success! Thank you all those who attended, and a special thankyou to Dr. Szilárd VAJDA. Details are available here.
Group meetings and meetups come in 4 delicious flavors:
IRC (Vanilla)
Join us in #autonomy on irc://irc.freenode.org/, this channel if for casual talks, and everyone is welcome. This is currently our primary means of communication, second to the mailing list.
Informeetups (Beer)
Informal Meetings, usually at some place fun (like the pub), here we meet and share ideas, and plan for the next main event. These are managed on Zoji.
The mailing list is where more official group movements are communicated. It is also recommended that you join this list to get the latest news.
Mainevents (Chocolate)
This is where it all comes together, talks, presentations, demonstrations, projects, puzzles, discussions, and pizza. These are managed on Zoji - See the Mainevents page for details of the next main event.
