91.109.247.173: Undoing "test" by this same 46.151.53.19, just undoing the test

[[File:EagleCAD.png|400px|center]]
This workshop, taught by Electrical Engineer, [http://www.jeremyblum.com Jeremy Blum], will focus on using the popular [http://www.cadsoftusa.com/ Eagle CAD] schematic capture and PCB design tool to design a custom-printed circuit board (PCB) from scratch. Participants will learn how to create a schematic for their design, import part libraries, generate a layout, route traces, and export a PCB design. At the end of the class, participants will optionally be able to send their designs to a batch PCB fabricator so they can be manufactured (for a few dollars per board). Electronics experience is helpful but not required - all are welcome!

== Class Details ==
This workshop will be similar to an Eagle Workshop that I taught at HOPE-X in NYC. If you'd like to get an idea of the content, you can [http://goo.gl/8LI2fw check out the slides from that course here]. People [https://twitter.com/CryptixCoder/status/490666881796558849 seemed] to [https://twitter.com/paulcarbone/status/490625964322607104 like it], so I'm doing it again in San Francisco! The slides for this course will likely be slightly updated from those, and I'll share a link to the newest version as soon as it's ready.

Here are some pretty screenshots from the course:

== When/Where is the class? ==
The workshop will take place at the [[Classrooms#Church|Church classroom]] in the [[Noisebridge]] Hackerspace on '''Sunday, August 10 at 10:30 AM.''' I expect the class to last for about 2 hours.
The address is:
[[Getting_Here|2169 Mission St. 
3rd Floor 
San Francisco, CA 94110]]

The gate to the space should be open while the class is in session. If not, [[Getting In|you can read up on getting into the space by clicking here]].

== What do I need to do to prepare? What should I bring? ==
Bring a laptop running Windows, Linux, or Mac. Please install EagleCAD before-hand to save time. You [http://www.cadsoftusa.com/download-eagle/?language=en download it for free here].
You do not need to have any electronics or PCB design knowledge prior to this class. However, having a bit of electronics knowlege (ohm's law, etc) will speed things up. The class will be taught in english.

== How much does this class cost? ==
This class is free, as are all classes taught at Noisebridge. You do not need to register or RSVP - just show up!

If, however, you feel the class was beneficial, we'd really appreciate a [[Donate or Pay Dues|donation to Noisebridge]] to fund our ongoing renovation and lasting presence in the city.

Five Minutes of Fame

==What is it?==

Five Minutes of Fame (5MoF) is an adaptation of CCC's Lightning Talks. Our implementation is ten five minute talks in an hour, with a short intermission so you can get another beer.

Check out these 30 seconds of fame excerpts for a taste: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQUGQ3Plj-w

==When and where does it happen?==

Third Thursday of every month at 7pm/8pm, at Noisebridge, 2169 Mission St, San Francisco.



=== Five Minutes of Fame is happening again! ===
'''''The next Five Minutes of Fame is:'' Thursday, February 19th, 7pm!'''

As if you needed ANY reminder, Five Minutes of Fame is Noisebridge's ADD
show-and-tell, squashing octets of human awesomeness into an hour like
booleans in a packed byte.

==Why are we doing this?==

There are many reasons:
* It's great for people who are interested in what's going on at Noisebridge -- no need to sit through long lectures.
* Some people are working on projects that are not ready for a full 30 minute or hour long talk, but they want to get their ideas out. Maybe they need help, maybe they want to propose an idea to the Noisebridge community.
* Some people are shy to public speaking and want to practice without giving an "official" conference talk, which can be daunting. This is a great way to try it out, in a community of peers.
* San Francisco is the mecca for startups. If you're trying to sell your idea to someone, you need to be able to explain it in five minutes or less.
