Tell HN: Rochester, NY Hackers - Unite!

Hi everyone, I was cruising around looking for a hacker oriented club or group in Rochester, NY or Western NY and didn't find anything... so I made a meetup group. We'll be tentatively meeting on either the RIT campus (if I can swing it) or the Penfield Panera (Panorama Plaza). I've got a Scala presentation/workshop planned, but I'm more than open to anything else anyone would want to share. Thanks for getting the word out.
Im a student at the UofR and would love to attend, unfortunately I fly back the 28th! If you guys host a meetup next month, I'll definitely try to make it.
Cool, you should join the group anyways and then you'll get notified when the next meetup goes down. Thanks for checking it out!
Way ahead of you. Have you seen the Rochester Python meetup? http://www.meetup.com/pythonistas/
Yeah, I saw that... I think I met a handful of members at the most recent RIT Barcamp. Awesome guys, but I wanted to test the waters for interest in a group that's language and platform agnostic and has the entrepreneur/startup angle.
I'm leaving RIT/ROC this upcoming Sunday! I would have loved to attend. I know a few HN readers that would surely like to drop by. I'll spread the word.
This a shameful plug, but for those who are associated with the RIT community--or have a desire to be--the RIT Student Maker Club is starting up again this fall: http://www.makeclub.org/ . Make Club is a young group, but it is trying to mix aspects of Make magazine, dorkbot, barcamp, and a hackerspace workshop.
This upcoming quarter we will have meetings in the "Center for Student Innovation," at the RIT campus on Fridays from 7-9PM. Members of the RIT community and respectful outsiders are welcome.
Beginning this quarter, we will align ourselves to support the Rochester-area bicycling and lightweight vehicle ecology. (See a clickable mindmap from RIT professor Jon Schull here: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/602488/RochesterBikeEcology.pdf#t... ) Plans are in motion for radical new vehicle designs, electronic instrumentation to track efficiency, and good ol' DIY projects (LED headlights, etc.).

Sounds awesome, I'm in once RIT is back in session.
