There "was" just an administrative meeting and another guy doing his own thing. But generally it's about household repairs, art, gardening, bicycle repair, programming, electronics, music DJing, etc. The themes are very general, like "loud day Wednesdays", so that people want to do loud things will concentrate then and people who want quiet will come another day. One women there, Chole, is doing a book-scanning project. She's scanning books from the late 1800s and early 1900s under some specific topic, so it's mainly about the topic group but she'll also help people who are interested in book-scanning in general. -- Mike Orr <[email protected]>
