As mentioned at the last Hobart meeting we will aim to have talks at

where we will try.

- 6:30pm, Thursday 16 August 2018
- Where:
- Tom McHugo’s (87 Macquarie Street, Hobart)
If you are planning to come along (even for a quick drink) please let John know

Talks at Hobart TasLUG are back! At the meeting this month we will be having
two short talks:
Tim Serong
Talking about how he got a Raspberry Pi to talk to his solar PV inverter to
monitory its electricity generation.
Chris Barnard
Talking about his participation in the TasNetwork
emPOWERing You Trial.
By happy coincidence both of these talks about electricity related topics will
be held at our new venue: Enterprize - which
just happens to be located in the old Hydro Electrical Commission building.
- When:
- Thursday 19 July, 2018 - 6:00pm for a 6:30pm start
- Where:
- Enterprize - Hobart
5th floor, Hobart City Council Building

Note: the doors inside the foyer will be locked, so you will need to use
the intercom to let us know to buzz you in. However, if you arrive after
6:30pm, then we’ll leave a note with a phone number to call as the intercom
isn’t near where the talks will be.
Enterprize provide a selection of alcoholic/non-alcoholic drinks and coffee
pods for the appropriate donation, as well as free instant coffee and tea. So
come at 6:00pm, get a drink, and have a bit of a mingle before the talks start
at 6:30pm. We will also be heading out to find somewhere to eat afterwards for
those interested.
I would like to to extend a big thank you to Enterprize for generously allowing
us to use their space to hold regular meetings into the future.
