[NCLUG] ANN: NCLUG Hacking Society, December 18, 2007

[Paul Hummer]

Just a head up that there will be a contingent of us that will start 
talking about actually making  a Reprap.  If you're on the fence about 
it, you might want to at least come and listen in.  I've got some other 
hacking to do, but we'll at least start making plans to buy, steal, or 
borrow all the parts, and will hopefully have the first one done in 3 
months or so.
