In May, our Special Interest Groups take center stage at the general meeting. The DMA® Special Interest Groups are the best kept secret of the DMA®. We have a variety of groups to meet the personal interests of any member and attendance is free, open to the public.
So what is a Special Interest Group? Well, Wikipedia describes them as follows: “In the computer field, a Special Interest Group is a community with a particular interest in a specific technical area. It is usually abbreviated SIG. Thus there are SIGs for computing architecture, graphics, security, and so forth. Members of an SIG cooperate to effect or to produce solutions within their particular area, and often meet regularly particularly during computing conferences.”
A list of our Special Interest Groups, or SIGs can be found here. Most SIGs meet monthly, although some meet twice a month. You will also find a number of SIGs that are “on hiatus”. These SIGs are in need of a member to lead them as well as interested parties to attend. If you are interested in one of these, contact the DMA® board and see what can be done to resurect them.
During our meeting, there will be a short presentation from each SIG and some will bring examples of the technology they are interested in.
Do you miss shopping at Computerfest®. Many of the same vendors that came to Computerfest also come to Hamvention. Some of the Computerfest favorites that will be in town for Hamvention will be Lightning Bond Adhesives, Key-Source, Chicago Computer Broker, Hawk Distributors, Ink Express, and many more. DMA® will also have a booth in the flea market area. So come by and say Hi!
Our June General Meeting has been changed to June 21st in order to catch Dave Whittle as he passes through the area. Mark your calendars, you won't want to miss this presentation. Dave always brings extras to give away as well!
Facility is wheelchair accessible.
RTA route 19 runs travels Brandt past Fishburg, one block from the building.
Plenty of free parking is available at the facility.
HHAF Hall is one block West of Brandt Pike, just beyond the Huber Heights Post Office.
From I-70, take Brandt Pike (201) South to Fishburg.
From I-75, take Needmore East, then North on Brandt Pike(201) to Fishburg.
From Rte 35, take Woodman Drive North, then Right on Brandt Pike(201) to Fishburg. For your convenience, here's a Google map of 5367 Fishburg Road.
After the meeting, we'll enjoy food, beverages, and conversation at CiCi's Pizza at the corner of Troy Pike and Taylorsville in Huber Heights. CiCi's is just 3 miles from HHAF Hall.
Take Fishburg West, then Troy Pike North to Taylorsville. CiCi's is next to K-Mart.
DMA Trustees have been struggling to provide adequate facilities for our monthly General Membership meetings. Both UD and WSU presented challenges. We have been searching for a location that is comfortable for our members, room enough for all attendees, offers free parking, equipped with audio, visual, and internet, and still affordable for the organization. HHAF Hall meets all qualifications. Apple-Dayton meets here regularly.
April was our trial month and it went well. We have reserved the Warrior Room for the coming year.
All are welcome. The meetings start at 7:00 p.m. Guests are always
welcome.
