I'd like to suggest an area meet-up following the Seattle Robotics Society (website: seattlerobotics.org) meeting on Saturday, August 16. I've contacted the powers-that-be at SRS and am awaiting approval, but my feeling is that this shouldn't be a problem on their end.
SRS meetings run from 10 to 12-ish, although the end time is pretty roughly defined. Following the formal presentation, there is traditionally time for attendees to wander around and just check out the neat projects that others have brought. I think that this may be a good time for a group of us to meet together, share our progress, and discuss how we can collaborate and help each other out. I know several people in addition to those who have posted in this forum that would be interested in attending as well, and I'll be contacting them.
Post back here if you're interested in showing up. Attending the SRS meeting isn't required (you can just come in at 12 if you'd like), but it's a cool group and newcomers are always welcomed.
