[MakeLV] hello and greetings

[Rob Roschewsk]

I'm sure others will chime in but let me be the first to say: Welcome! 

Open Hack is every Thursday evening from 6:30 to 9:30 ... I encourage you to stop by. (watch the list in the unlikely chance of a cancellation) 

All-in-all very diverse and welcoming group of people ... and you sound like you'd fit right in 

--> Rob
