Well, our Robotics Interest Group is fairly active. We are the ones in Science working with the Robotic Arms.
Philosophy was started by Colin McGinn on Sept 30,2015. WOW has it been going on that long? Colin’s talk handle is @Puzzlerf, which doesn’t seem to work now. No one other than Colin has had the courage to lead the Philosophy meetups.

Machine shop has voted on a plastics interest group (the PigSig!), but it won’t go live until after the expansion.

If the AR SIG isn’t currently active I would like to know what I can do to help reestablish it.
Also I would like to see what it would take to establish a Mycology SIG. I am still a kind of a noob at DMS, so I’m not sure how to go about it.

You are right… not very active on Talk. In the past I enquired about updating the https://dallasmakerspace.org/wiki/Photography_Interest_Group page but could not find/get access to it.
We do have a FB closed group here https://www.facebook.com/groups/MakersofPhotos. We are meeting once a month and the SIG is slooowly coming together.
@Nagyk thank you for tagging me… and, by all means, you are more than welcome to be the primary contact

We should fix this. What was/wasn’t happening? It should require your DMS domain creds, and Stan and/or Luke can probably get it going in short order.
@zmetzing and @sciborg as interested party and group leader respectively would be good contacts on this.
Interested in Amateur Radio, but don't know where to start?

Thanks for the tip, I didn’t know I could do it. I found a way to login I was able to start editing. I’ll add some things and not remove anything yet… I don’t want to step on anyone’s toes. Thanks again.
****UPDATE **** I see that to edit this group I need access. I understand you were probably referring to this…

No. Sorry. I was referring to the wiki link you posted.
I know nothing about Google Groups… I’d refer you to Stan on that, since, based on the URL, it does appear to use Dallasmakerspace.org.
EDIT: actually, I was able to log in to Google with my DMS domain creds, and can see the forums @ the URL as in your screencap, and it shows you and Stan have conversed (test messages) therein on Feb 27 and 28.
oOoooOo mycology. Especially foraged mycology.

Ok, I knew I had tried this before… still confused on why I couldn’t login this morning. I think that’s why I opted for a FB group, much easier for me and some of the other members that have FB accounts. I’ll try to login again but in the meantime, thank you again.

Here’s my current list of all the “groups” of DMS that I can think of:
If anyone has dates to add please let me know. It’s my hope to give out a flyer on the 20th stating all the groups just incase people want to get to know what’s up

We should have a list on the wiki
Of interest groups?
Should be here:
https://dallasmakerspace.org/wiki/Category:Interest_Groups
Right?
I think that’s the POINT of the wiki’s Category:Interest_Groups.

Large Format SIG is tentatively resuscitated. We are meeting before the board meeting on the 22nd to set up our plan going forward.
We also have a Historical Arms, Armor & Martial Arts SiG under Hatcher’s Armory.
I also have a Software Development Meetup that generally happens on Sundays.
