More info on this: https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/MitchTripEU_Nov_Dec_2012 Time: about 2.5 hours (plus about 1 hour of setup and 1 hour of cleanup)
Max # participants: 30 (for each participant we need 1 soldering iron with stand and sponge, 1 small wire cutters, AC outlet, chair, table space, 60/40 (Sn/Pb) rosin core ~.8mm diameter solder)
As we don't have that number of soldering irons in our space... people need to bring their own soldering iron - or beg one from someone else...
When is it?[edit]
Dec 2nd .. we start at 14:00 and should be done arund 16:30
