== EO2023 Open Hardware Workshop location ==

'''Monday, 13th March 2023''' at the [https://www.hackmelbourne.org Connected Community HackerSpace]<br />
'''Address:''' 5 Kent Lane, Hawthorn, Victoria.  ''Note: Kent Lane, not Kent Street''<br/>
'''Parking:''' [https://goo.gl/maps/c99ByYTS1EMZDKLT6 Hawthorn Town Hall car park] (free for 2 hours or outside of business hours, $6.50 for 8 hours during business hours)<br/>
'''Public transport:'''

: The HackerSpace is a two minute walk from the Glenferrie train station. From the Flinders Street train station in the city, use the
: Lilydale / Ringwood / Belgrave train line: 15 minutes / 5 stops direct or 20 minutes / 8 stops via the City Loop ... and double-check
: that you haven't caught an express train that skips Glenferrie (there is an express train to Box Hill, avoid this!). There are many good
: lunch and dinner options nearby.

'''Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner options:'''

: Nearby Glenferrie Road (3 minutes walk) is the beating heart of Hawthorn with a broad range of restaurants, cafes, take-away, supermarkets, etc.  There are several good pubs close by and a rooftop bar.  Whilst it is a public holiday on Monday in Victoria, there should still be a good selection of places open ... perhaps some may shut, but it'll be a good day for them to be doing business.
: The HackerSpace has a microwave, kettle, drinks fridge and snacks.  Along with a very small sink area.  It is basic, but some very modest self-catering is possible !

== Workshop sessions ==

: The workshop is a full day of project activities for both the SwagBadge 2022 (based on microPython) and the FPGA Rockling hardware.
: It is highly recommended to be there for both the morning and afternoon sessions, there is a lot to cover and do.
: However for interstate travellers, we will start the afternoon session with a brief recap to get you up-to-speed.
: Interested EO2023 attendees who didn't order the LCA2022 hardware kit are welcome to join us and check things out.

'''Morning:''' Setup from 9:00am. Be ready to start at 10am sharp<br/>
'''Lunch:''' 12:00pm to 1:00pm<br/>
'''Afternoon:''' Setup from 12:30pm for those arriving only for the afternoon. Be ready to start at 1 pm sharp.

'''Evening social event:''' 5:00 pm (approximately)<br/>
: At the end of the day, the workshop will morph into an informal EO2023 social event.  The HackerSpace is very close to several pubs and a good variety of restaurants.  Depending on numbers and preferences, we can have food / drinks at the HackerSpace or move to a local venue.
