Post:OMG! The Omaha Maker Group begins!

From Fusselman.org

Well, the beginning of the mission is accomplished. Last night, the group now known as the Omaha Maker Group had their first meeting. This all stems from an article I posted a few months back, and "ended" (or began, more technically) with a much better than expected turnout last night. Initially, the meeting was supposed to be a second gathering of myself, Ron and Travis (the guy who initially emailed me about that article) to determine a name and discuss how to get the word out.

Needless to say, the word got out (maybe a bit more than expected). We had a total of 10 people for food, drinks and a rousing naming discussion. We considered all kinds of things, and eventually settled on dual-purpose acronyms. Who would have thought that LMAO was already in use in Omaha (by some Live Music group, no less)?

Now that we have a name, we have a Google Group, and other facilities (like a website) coming online shortly. To that end, any interested parties should now make contact via the Google Group, though you're still free to email me if you're having trouble with Google or anything.
