We have lots of events in July to heat you beat the heat (with the help of our air conditioners).
Mesh Night - Wednesday July 8th @ 19:00 - 22:00
Mesh Nights are a recurring monthly event, normally hosted on the first Wednesday of each month. Due to the Canada Day holiday, we have shifted the event to the second Wednesday (July 8th).
At the Mesh Night, we will be talking about and experimenting with mesh networking technologies such as Meshtastic, MeshCore, and Reticulum.
Beginners are welcome to drop by, we are happy to answer your questions and demo our devices for you.

Seventh SPVM Surveillance Discussion - Thursday July 9th @ 20:00 - 22:00
This is our seventh meeting to discuss the SPVM plans to employ AI surveillance tools. This meeting occurs on an open night so anybody who is present is encouraged to learn about what is happening and participate in the discussion.
NOTE: We didn’t do the event last month so this is the re-scheduled seventh meeting. Third time is the charm?
Karaoke Night - Friday July 10th @ 20:00 - 23:00
Karaoke night returns in July, come join us to sing your favorite songs or cheer wildly as we sing ours!
No Net Night/Patch Sewing Workshop - Tuesday July 14th @ 18:30 - 23:00
No Net Nights are a monthly ritual where we gather to do activities in the lab that don’t require Internet access.
This month, we have scheduled a Patch Sewing Workshop as a programmed activity for the No Net Night. If you want to learn how to sew a patch onto a piece of clothing, a bag, a hat or something else then drop by! We expect to have a few patches on hand but it can’t hurt to bring your own.
Of course, if you are not interested in attending the workshop, there’s still lots of activities to enjoy at Foulab.
Coffee Roasting Workshop - Thursday July 16th @ 18:00 - 20:00
Foulab will be host to a coffee bean roasting workshop. If you’ve ever wanted to learn to how to roast your own coffee beans, this is a perfect opportunity.

Noise Hacking Night - Friday July 17th @ 20:00 - 23:00
This is a night dedicated to sound synthesis and mutation, using hardware and software. People are encouraged to bring their own noise-makers, plug them in, and join in on the noise-making mayhem!
These are some recordings from last month’s event.

All July events are open to the public and free to attend, although we do appreciate donations.
Tuesdays and Thursdays are Open Nights. They are a great time for newcomers to visit the space. Sometimes events also happen on the these nights.
Mondays are our Shop Nights. On these nights people make noise in our shop area and help with its organization.
