Hi Ryan:

Will these sessions replace the weekend workshops we've been offering the last two years? Regardless, I'd be happy to do a Pure Data "knowledge sharing".

Ciao

The Open Membership will cost $50 when you teach one of these free workshops in a year, and will give you free access to the lab and equipment for that year. You can of course teach a workshop even if you are not interested in the Open Membership, but we hope this will create a kind of fair exchange for knowledge and gear.

Depending on the popularity, we could start out by hosting the workshops on every 2nd and 4th Wednesday, opposite Mod Lab meetups and then branch out weekly to every Tuesday or every Thursday if there is further interest..
