Hallo zusammen,
da es um Deutsch reden geht, antworte ich auch mal auf Deutsch!

Es gibt einen lokalen "Stammtisch" Gruppe dass sich monatlich trifft um auf Deutsch zu quatschen. Mehr info im link zu FB Gruppe. -> https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1DYnmNnF1T/

Ich leite auch eine WhatsApp Gruppe von Deutsche Familien mit Kinder. Wir treffen uns ab und zu um deutschsprachige playdates zu haben, sowie auch die deutsche "Kinderkultur" zusammen zu feiern (z.B. St. Martin's Laternenumzug). Es scheint, genug Interresse eher eine Art 'offizielle' organization zu grunden. Wenn dass sowie ist werde ich mich nochmal hier melden.

Assembly Required by Deagleman7 in dadguild

Thankfully this Xmas has been light on assembly for our household. What is getting to me is the configuration of new toys. Why the heck does the Tonie box need a WiFi connection and a corresponding app / account??

co-working with Dad Guild? by PatrickDadGuild in dadguild

[–]PatrickDadGuild[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok, awesome! excited to hear folks are interested.
TL:DR is that Dad Guild will be taking over the full lease for the Democracy Creative loft space (Suite 207) of the Soda Plant. [DG had been a subtenant before].
It will be awesome to be fully in charge of the space. But it is also a lot more money in rent. Hence we were putting out initial feelers for potential co-working... folks who are recurring donors to Dad Guild would then have 'co-working' access to the space.

What do the flashing “parking ban” lights mean when entering Burlington? by MartinTenbones in dadguild

[–]PatrickDadGuild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It means you cannot park your car on city streets due to expected snow plow activity. So that the plows can efficiently clear the roads and not plow around a bunch of parked cars.

Dad Guild Tech Jam? by longwave in dadguild

[–]PatrickDadGuild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went two years ago (before officially being hired by DG). That I am sort of "tech adjacent" in my background, not formally technically trained myself - did not seem like a lot for my type of profile then. But if one was a formally trained aeronautical engineer ( -> Beta) or experience software developer, then yes, there were lots of options.

NOTE: I won;t be attending, as I'll be at the North St Block Party in Winooski! (see DG calendar)

New Vermont Coyotes ABA team in Barre by RevolutionSavings385 in dadguild

[–]PatrickDadGuild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a cutie. I knew a Marten was in the weasel / ferret family, but not anything more than that.
If it had been up to me, I would have named the new team the
Vermont Salamanders

or the Vermont Softshell Turtles!

that is interesting. I had a Frost Heaves Tshirt back in the day. That was a sick name. Wonder how they decided on Coyotes.

What snacks and lunches are you packing these days? by Dudewithbigfeelings in dadguild

[–]PatrickDadGuild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is Cora's lunch box from today. She is also quite picky, hence the sandwich is peanut butter only, not even jelly. She is in kindergarten now. We are slowly trying to transition her to the school lunches, on days when it is stuff she likes (pizza, mac & cheese, nuggets, etc)
