​Draft Agenda

• ​3:00pm • Arriving and socializing

• ​4:30pm • Marketplace (Have gear you no longer need? Bring them and find them a new home! Give away for free to your fellow DMV residents, or put a price on it.)

• ​5pm • Socializing (Also, bar opens to the public. Feel free to hang out as long as you like.)

​About the location

​Looking Glass Lounge is a lovely Petworth neighborhood bar and restaurant steps away from the Georgia Ave-Petworth Green line Ⓜ️ stop. With the modest venue rental budget that Home Assistant is providing, I've been able to rent out the space, outside of their normal business hours, for the two hours before they open to the public at 5pm.

​They're also opening the kitchen and the bar for us, so please make sure to buy some food and drinks to support them! 🍻🌮

​There is a projector available for lightning talks. If we have some lightning talk signups, I'll do my best to get it working! 🤞

​About the host

​In his day job, Will is a policy wonk with a particular interest in election technology and security. Outside of work, he attempts to maintain a high Home Approval Factor for everyone in his home, such as by enabling his spouse to remotely brew coffee, creating crib pressure sensor-triggered automations, and designing a printable ESPHome-powered cat laser robot. He maintains a Home Assistant HACS integration for Nissan Leaf EV drivers and has made a few other contributions to the Home Assistant community. He is also converting his bike to an ebike, and he takes pinball too seriously.

​Event repository

​Inspired by the host of the Los Angeles meetup, and in the open source spirit of the open home, I made a GitHub repository so we can collaborate on the event itself. Go there to file issues or pull requests and make the event your own!
