OSHUG #41 — Wiring the Internet of Things with Raspberry Pi & Node-RED, Thursday 21st May.
Hello,
Registration is now open for the March meeting, which will take the form of an afternoon workshop providing an introduction to Node-RED.
if you are planning on attending, registering sooner rather than later is highly recommended. However, please don't register if you there is a chance you won't make it, as spaces are limited and it would be a terrible shame if some miss out due to the event being booked up, then on the day we end up with empty chairs.
Cheers,
Andrew

Event #41 — Wiring the Internet of Things with Raspberry Pi & Node-RED
21 May 2015, 12:30 - 18:30 at Fab Lab London, Off Old Jewry, 1 Frederick’s Place, London, EC2R 8AE.
Registration: http://oshug.org/event/41
Node-RED is a visual tool for wiring together hardware devices, APIs and online services in new and interesting ways. Used together with Raspberry Pi it provides a compact, powerful platform that is able to read sensors, control outputs, and send and receive data to and from the Web and other systems.
This workshop will provide an introduction to Node-RED and integrating simple sensors and outputs, applying basic processing and publishing data to the Web. No prior experience with either Node-RED or electronics is required. However, while not strictly necessary, some experience of JavaScript would be beneficial as this is used to implement custom functionality within Node-RED.
The introduction to Node-RED will be presented by Andy Stanford-Clark.
Andy Stanford-Clark is a Distinguished Engineer in IBM's global Internet of Things team. He is an IBM Master Inventor with more than 40 patents. Andy is based at IBM's Hursley Park laboratories in the UK, and specialises in the Internet of Things, remote telemetry, energy monitoring and management, Smart Metering and Smart Grid technologies. He has a particular interest in home energy monitoring, home automation and driving consumer behaviour change.
Andy has been working on what we now call the Internet of Things for more than 15 years: he co-developed the MQTT messaging protocol in 1998. Andy has a BSc in Computing and Mathematics, and a PhD in Computer Science. He is a Visiting Professor at the University of Newcastle, an Honorary Professor at the University of East Anglia, and a Fellow of the British Computer Society.
Please bring a laptop and, if you have a Raspberry Pi, bring this along with any useful sensors and LEDs. However, note that boards and sensors etc. will also be made available for use by those who do not have these. An SD card image will be provided with Node-RED and associated software pre-installed.
Note: Please aim to arrive by 12:15 as the workshop will start at 12:30 prompt.
Jointly hosted by the BCS OSSG, IBM UK and OSHUG. With support from the Knowledge Transfer Network and hardware sponsored by RS DesignSpark.
Apologies, as one of our ever observant members has pointed out, that should have said "May meeting".
Cheers,
Andrew

Seeing those empty seats last time after being on the waiting list hoping for a place (which I ended up getting) was kind of sad; about a quarter didn't show up if we judge by the badges left on the table. I suppose that in addition to the above, if you can't make it let Andrew or Jeremy know!
cheers, saar.

Yes - the empty seats look bad. We always accept 20% more bookings than we have places, so we had 50 booked for a 40-seat room. That includes the speakers, chairman and the "film crew".
It might not be quite as bad as it looked. 8 of the 50 were the panel and me at the front plus Andrew and Simon were standing filming at the back. Looking at the video stream I think there were either 36 or 42 chairs set out (6 or 7 rows of 6). So if we had every seat in use there would have been 46 or 52 people in the room. I would guess the 40-seat limit is a fire-safety thing. There were empty seats, but not that many, so I think we were close to the 40 limit.
But I might do a count next time we are at Southampton Street and see how many really turn up! And for the next meeting, Andrew's exhortation is important. Really don't book unless you are sure to turn up.
If we get this situation again, I'll ask BCS to email those who have booked a couple of days before the meeting to check they still want their place. Most people are sensible about freeing up their place if they know it is oversubscribed.

I need to get "FIlm Crew" put on a badge for the next meeting :o)

We should ask the BCS to do this for May, but even then I'm not sure how effective reminder e-mails are. At the last meeting I also heard it said that the IoT meetup gets massively oversubscribed now, but then a low percentage of those actually turn up.
This is ever the problem when you don't charge. I'm not suggesting we start doing for normal meetings, but this is precisely the reason why we do charge £10/day for OSHCamp and Wuthering Bytes, but then people get far more than this back in lunch, tea/coffee and swag. With £10 or even £5 invested people almost always turn up or at the very least cancel in advance.
Best,
Andrew
Hello,
Just to note that we're down to the last 6 places...
