=<big>The Tim VanSant Makership  LVL1's Makership Program</big>=

'''Note: This program is funded completely through donations and NOT through our membership dues.'''
== We have 2 Makers this month! ==


*We currently have enough funds to offer a Makership. Please submit an application to become a member of LVL1! See our treasurer, make a donation.'''
*Members: please talk up the Makership to potential new members. Makerships are a good way to interest minorities and women in LVL1. Emphasize the experience and the opportunity. Getting a project done is less important.
*Makership Application Deadline is the last day of each month @ 11:59 PM.
*Submit your project for a chance to win 3 months of LVL1 membership and a $100 reimbursement toward your project expenses.
*Apply at www.lvl1.org/makership. Also, send any questions about how to submit a successful application to www.lvl1.org/makership. We want to award a Makership!
*If your application is not approved, PLEASE revise and resubmit next month.
*If you would like to donate ($5/mo) to this worthy cause, see one of the directors and we can set you up!

==''' Upcoming Events '''==

==Build a NEC-v20 based retro computer ==

* It's capable of running CPM 2/3 (in virtual 8080 mode), CPM-86, and MS-DOS 2.11. 
* Workshop lasts as long as it takes to build it, step by step. Basic through hole soldering skills recommended. I have three already built, so if you totally botch it you won't * * leave empty handed.
* V20-MBC: a V20 (8088 + 8080) CPU homebrew computer | Hackaday.io
* Cost is $80, and includes a kit for the v20mbc in the minimum 512kb configuration, and everything needed to use it - including SD card, sd breakout board, and cp2102 based UART. 
* Note about MS-DOS - this will not run all software for the IBM PC, it is not PC compatible. Compilers work great though. 
* Only four seats available - reply or contact me privately to arrange to attend. 
* I also have the hard to source component (the CMOS version of the nec-v20) and the board available if you'd like to purchase one and source the rest of the components yourself, for $12.
