Hackers on a Train Workshop Tour 2012

  • We will have limited space available for the kit workshop, please RSVP with Eventbrite to confirm your spot.
  • Learn more about Mitch Altman from his Reddit AMA or from his Wikipedia page

Kit building workshop has been derailed by the Canada Border Services Agency
