moin moin Victor,
Oops. Downtown Pasadena? You didn’t mention that part. You mentioned
ASU which implies a local event. What am I missing?
I mentioned SCaLE. Since many of us attend every year, I presumed everyone
knows what it is. I should not have made that presumption. Sorry.
While my original post is about the Free Software conference in LA that
doesn't preclude PLUG from hosting activities here :).
Jupiter should be back around by next March, and it will show through
anything. But it won’t be rising till well into the evening, in early
March, so the moon (first quarter) would be the only bright thing. Of
course my 8-incher is pretty good at showing stars you can’t see with
naked eye.
Hmm, maybe we should schedule another space night, then follow it up with
some space viewing activities, possibly on a different night.
Maybe Schuyler can teach us how to listen to the background radiation :).
Offer stands for local astronomy sessions. And yes, there is a local
group that does that.
Cool on both counts.
ciao,
der.hans

moin moin,
Is this just a daytime thing? I acquired an 8” computerized telescope,
In this case, mostly. What I'm talking about is daytime, but there's a
game night activity on Saturday night. It's still in downtime Pasadena, so
not too much dark sky, but we might be able to find a decent place to put
up a telescope.
As it turns out, I had already emailed a friend who participateѕ in Linux
Astronomy. I will have to ask him about the possibilities.
giving stargazing parties for kids, but it has to be at least a little
dark for that to be any fun. (If anyone is interested in this, even
outside of SCaLE, I might be available for some random opportunities.)
Astronomy is cool. I know ASU does a regular astronomy event. I don't if
it is a bring your own device type of thing. I'm certain we have some
astronomy groups here in town. Wonder if anyone's participating in Linux
Astronomy or something like that.
ciao,

moin moin,
SCaLE is the first weekend in March next year.
Once again it will have a Next Generation track on Saturday.
In conversation with the SCaLE team I suggested a youth room with
activities for kids. As can happen, it was suggested that the suggester,
me, implement said suggestion :).
My initial thought was games for kids and maybe a lock pick village if we
can find someone to run that. Others suggested soldering and other
activities I had conveniently left off my initial suggestion.
Is anyone interested in helping out?
I want to make sure I have a few volunteers before I say yes. I'm
perfectly happy to lead or help someone else.
We could make it a Saturday only thing or also continue on Sunday.
ciao,
der.hans
