We're very lucky to have Peter Cooper (Author of "Beginning Ruby" http://www.petercooper.co.uk/) speaking for us:
Ignoring Common Sense: The Aircraft Carrier Made of Ice and Other Technical Flights of Fancy
Get permission to abandon common sense through a look at flights of fancy and "failures" of common sense in the worlds of engineering, computer science, and fashion.

Our other speaker, Dominic from Nottinghack (http://www.meetup.com/Nottinghack/) will be talking about:
Nottinghack - a Hackspace for Nottingham
An overview of the hardware hacker and maker movement in the UK & an introduction to Hackspace Nottingham - Nottinghack.

Followed by a show and tell. So bring along something cool to share with the group, whether it's a new shiny gizmo, IDE, code snippet or handbag! ( :
