Agenda
• Round table – everybody spends a couple minutes telling what projects they’re working on.
• Ad-hoc presentations – Whoever would like to show & tell.
• “Stump the club” Challenges – Ask for help if you’ve hit a roadblock in your project. Somebody in the club can probably get you pointed in a good direction – or even arrange a side bar session to help.

DPRG’s October monthly meeting was held at the Dallas Maker Space on October 25, starting at 10:00 AM.
The meeting this month was a double-header talk.
DPRG member, Paul Bouchier, completed a talk on Git and GitHub originally scheduled for the September meeting. He explained why individual robotics developers would benefit from using these tools. The talk covered how to get started, how to perform frequently used operations, and common scenarios.
Guest, Thomas Messerschmidt, showed and discussed a movie he made using AI. The movie’s plot is an interview with an AI that went badly off the rails. This should be a fun watch.
After a pizza lunch at Noon, the floor was open for a “Show and Tell” session.
