Ateliers du Libre, and DIY bleepy noises

We have a couple events coming up at Foulab this month. First, on Sunday, July 11th, from 1PM to 5PM, we have Les Ateliers Populaires du Libre.
Les Ateliers Populaires du Libre (APL) or so called Free Software Workshops is a series of informal events organised around the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) topics, with open agenda and good will. This workshop, without specific topic, will focus on installations and configurations of GNU/Linux distributions and other types of applications, mutual help and exchange. Come and share any interesting free software discoveries with us!
There is no cost for the APLs but we will be collecting voluntary donations to support the continued operation of Foulab.
Please note that the audio workshop has been CANCELLED. Please watch this space for future announcements.
The cost for the audio workshop is $20 per person.
Ateliers du Libre Mai 2 -"Open Street Maps"
By fx, on 2010-04-23 11:41
L’été s’en vient, et les belles journées de plein air aussi!
L’atelier du libre s’outardise: le printemps est bel et bien là!
Le prochain atelier sera consacré à une thématique / rencontre sur la cartographie, l’utilisation d’open street map en tant qu’utilisateur et en tant que contributeur. On parlera GPS, on parlera cartes à compléter. L’atelier essaiera donc de réunir toute sorte de gens : les porteurs du projet Open Street Map Montreal, des cyclistes, des geeks et des non-geeks, de tout ça tout mélangé.
Nous vous attendons avec impatience pour échanger conseils et expériences, le dimanche 2 mai de 13h à 17h.
Évidemment, les personnes ayant besoin de coups de main ou d’aide avec leurs ordis sont toujours accueillis et nous essaierons comme d’habitude de vous aider dans la limite de nos connaissances (évidemment). Dans ce cas précis, apportez vos ordis et CDs/clé d’installation.
—- Les ateliers ont lieu au Foulab, un espace de hackers qui nous offre leur hospitalité. Adresse : 999 du Collège, au deuxième étage, porte 35 Metro : Place Saint Henri. Téléphone: (514) 907-6787 ext. 0
ps: pensez à ramener un petit 5$ (non obligatoire), on veut cotiser pour le loyer du foulab. On passera le libre-chapeau à cette occasion. :)
Saturday, April 10, 2010, 2PM Introduction to Arduino
By fx, on 2010-04-06 18:19
An introductory workshop on the use of the Ardurino micro-controller. The Arduino is a small but powerful computing device that can be used to control lights, speakers, motors, sensors and other devices, and is commonly used in art installations and robotics. It is easy to program and requires no prior programming experience. If you are an artist, tinkerer or inventor who would like to learn how to use the Arduino in your own projects, this is the workshop for you.
Please bring a laptop and/or your Arduino if you have one. Computers will be available for those without one, and Arduinos will be for sale.
Entry fee: $20
Entry fee + arduino price: $50
