Electronics Workshops

In recent days i have talked to several people about starting up an electronics workshop on a bi-weekly or so basis in new haven. I have received a lot of interest and so i am setting up this blog as a way to have a central location online for additional discussion of the topics, a way to find out what peoples areas of interest are, when they are available to meet and what kinds of knowledge they would benefit most from.

It has also occurred to me in the past couple of weeks that what i would really like to do is expand the concept of this from just me showing people electronics stuff, to other people doing lessons/workshops on their areas of interest and expertise. So perhaps a series of workshops for electronics first and then music or carpentry or poetry or whatever other people might have experience and interest in?

I am envisioning that this thing could be a kind of free learning workshop of sorts for anyone who wants to learn, teach, and do. The idea being to have the benefits of a learning community with the advantages of being able to collaborate and share knowledge face to face instead of only on the internet. To do this with more flexibility and freedom than a learning institution and without the associated costs of typical schools or workshops. So please do tell. What sort of things you would like to learn about electronically or otherwise? I for one have always really wanted to learn some basic music theory but somehow have never found the time. And let me know when is best for you to meet. I am thinking the last weekend of january on saturday or sunday for the first meet.
