# HDDG #11 - Capacitors and Footprints


[![HDDG #11 Capacitors and Footprints](/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/hddg-11-banner.png)](/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/hddg-11-banner.png)

Super excited that I'll be speaking at this month's [Hardware Developers Didactic Galactic](http://www.meetup.com/Hardware-Developers-Didactic-Galactic/) (HDDG) #11. The meetup is on Thursday, February 18, 2016. It should come as no surprise that I'll be talking about capacitors--something I have [a bit of experience on](/tag/capacitors/).

Also presenting will be [SnapEDA](http://www.snapeda.com/) CEO's [Natasha Baker](https://twitter.com/natashaabaker). I've written about SnapEDA in the past post, How to find [Parts for your Electronics](/how-to-find-parts.html).

One reason to come is just to see what the [Hackaday](http://hackaday.com) / [Supplyframe](http://supplyframe.com) office looks like!

## What is HDDG?

 [Hardware Developers Didactic Galactic](http://www.meetup.com/Hardware-Developers-Didactic-Galactic/) is learning group focused on developing electronic stuff. Educators, professionals, hackers, makers, entrepreneurs, and anyone else with the intended goal of teaching people discuss a theme around a topic.

Idea sharing happens through problems, challenges, lecture, discussion, and hands-on. On-site there are resources for soldering, testing, programming as needed.

Attendees have an option of giving a 2-minute talk on anything they want. Need help with a circuit? Have a project to show off? Want to introduce yourself? No problem.

## RSVP on Meetup

As of this posting, there are 12 seats available on the [HDDG #11 meetup](http://www.meetup.com/Hardware-Developers-Didactic-Galactic/events/228806456/). So if you're near San Francisco on the 18th, stop by and learn about footprints from Natasha and capacitors from me!
