Filed under: Events, Independents Hall
September ZIPPED by, didn’t it? The weather is getting cooler, the leaves are starting to turn, and old city is a great place to spend some time…luckily, we’ve got some great events going on this month and we’re starting off October right!
Iron Man party with Geekadelphia
I’ve been pumped about this one for a while. Our friends at Geekadelphia have put together an event to celebrate the release of Iron Man on DVD. We’ll be watching the film together, the ‘Geeks will be giving away some stuff from Brave New Worlds, our local comic book spot. And there will even be Iron Man cupcakes. That’s right. Cupcakes. You don’t want to miss this one. Dana said so.
The Iron Man party begins on Thursday, 10/2 at 6:30pm. Please RSVP!

IndyHall Lecutures #2: A peek inside Mozilla
Filed under: Education/Workshops, Independents Hall
One of our newest full time members, Josh Aas, is an engineer for Mozilla. As a good chunk of our community is comprised of web geeks, it was really exciting to be able to get some new insight into the production and business operations side of the foundation that’s brought us Firefox (Josh is involved in the Gecko rendering engine and the rewrite of Firefox 3 for the Mac).
On Wednesday, September 17th at 6:30pm, Josh will be giving a lecture at IndyHall about Mozilla’s software engineering processes, including writing and integrating code, project management, leadership structure, and community involvement. He’ll also give an overview of their goals and their plans for the future.
For those of you interested in how Open Source and a corporation/foundation operate, this lecture should not be missed!
Please RSVP on Upcoming!

Filed under: Announcements, Community Support, coworking, Education/Workshops, Events, Independents Hall
Videographers, videobloggers, and video podcasters: come on down to IndyHall and work on all those videos you’ve been meaning to work on for the last 6 months!
Join us for PHLedit, which is being organized by Lauren Galanter (who’s responsible for our namesake, Independents Hall). It will be held at Indy Hall starting at 5pm on Saturday, October 4, 2008.
PHLedit is a free, unstructured video-centric coworking event. Video editors, video bloggers, video podcasters, or anyone who wants to come and edit in a supportive and casual environment are invited to do so. Wifi and power connections, seats, and desks are provided, but you’ll have to bring your own equipment and software.
This event was inspired by similar events across the country–PHXedit in Phoenix, AZ and SF Video Edit and SuperHappyVlogHouse in San Francisco, CA. It is loosely affiliated with Node101, an open-source movement to teach and spread videoblogging.
Some food and drink will be provided, but we’d like to do a potluck of sorts as well. Please bring some snacks (nom nom nom) to share if you are able to.

Birthday Party Wrapup
Filed under: Uncategorized
We’ve all got tons to do this morning after a long holiday weekend, but we all wanted to share a brief thank you to everyone who contributed and came out to our 1 year birthday party. We all had a blast. There are so many people to thank, from our 8-bit musical performers (check them out again at the upcoming IgnitePhilly2), to the crew that shot and edited our video walkthrough, the staff at Triumph, everyone who came in from out of town, and everyone who’s showed us love along the way.
From the bottom of Geoff and my hearts, thank you.
It’s been a helluva year. Let’s make the next one even better!
In the mean time, enjoy photos and some video from the party.
