[SGVLUG] Raspberry Pi SIG Kickoff meeting Thu 9/20 @ 7pm

[Braddock Gaskill]

I'm not sure we want to limit ourselves to Raspberry Pi.  This could be a
general "Hardware Hacking" SIG - Arduinos, BeagleBoards, etc.  Our scope
can be a topic for discussion at the meeting.  I'll bring a couple Arduinos
and AVR programming tools.
