DIYorDIE Meetup July 1: Registration

Mail.Ru Group’s DIY community — developers who, in their spare time, do all sorts of cool, unexpected things (“ smart home and smart watches ”; “ hug ”; “ FLIR Lepton thermal imager with your own hands ;” “ electric bicycles with your own hands. ” And much more) - periodically gather to share their developments with those who wish and to share their experiences with friends in mind.



We invite everyone to the third open DIY Meetup on July 1 at the Mail.Ru Group office. The program of the event is based on the voting results .
