MegaMeet 2014 @ DIYAutoTune, Sept 20

Post by DIY-Ben »

Here is your official invitation to MegaMeet 2014, hosted on September 20, by DIYAutoTune in Suwanee, GA.

When: The official 'MegaSquirt Meet' will be Saturday September 20th, 2014 -- We'll be hanging out in the area Friday the 19th thru Sunday the 21st.

Where: DIYAutoTune HQ in Suwanee, GA, just NE of Atlanta.

DIYAutoTune.com
3690D Burnette Park Drive
Suwanee, GA 30024

What:
The Annual MegaMeet is an opportunity to come and hang out with some of the major players that make the MegaSquirt project happen. Bowling and Grippo, the creators of MegaSquirt EFI will be here, as will Phil Tobin, writer of the TunerStudio and MegaLogViewer software. Typically, James Murray (all the way over from the UK) and Ken Culver, writers of the MS2/Extra and MS3 Firmware, come out and play as well! Several others who continue to make this project possible will be here to share the latest news on upcoming products and to talk tech. We've had people travel from all over the US, come down from Canada, and from as far as the UK to be here and that's sure to happen again this year.

I'll be there, just booked my flights.

If you've not been before, do come along. We like to talk to Megasquirt users and if you bring your car or bike along we try to make time to discuss any issues you may have.

Man I wish I could be there. I am only in central Florida so it wouldn't be too bad of a drive. I have driven to NJ and back a couple times. I just wish the timing was good, which its not this year.

Do you guys do this every year at the same time roughly? Or every 6 months? Cause I would love to attend one of these meets, just not available for this one :/

They are every year, although the timing has varied from spring to fall.

Hello Matt,

Which is the closest airport for this place ? I'd like to be there but have to inquire for travel cost before :(

Thx.

Some of the flight options I looked at were via CDG.

Too bad I don't live in Marietta anymore. Atlanta is a long drive from Denver.

I'm sure that CDG is mostly close to you than I am ;-) I'm living near Nîmes.

We were still hanging out at DIYA and caught up with them later.

It was good to meet up with everyone over the weekend and to have the chance to talk to some customers. I enjoyed the presentations and the range of cars that turned up.

This year's meet was good. It was good to meet some people I hadn't met before but had talked to for years on the forum.

I'd go so far as to say that this year's Megameet was even better than last year's. Lots of folks came out and there were many interesting projects. It was great being able to meet people in person.

Big thanks to Jerry and all the guys at DiyAutoTune for their hospitality. I hope we didn't make too big of a mess.
