Some of us have been through both establishments when they were in the same building - they are now in separate buildings (but still quite close), so, some things have changed. At least we meet last at the Kings Head and some beer :-)

CIPS Manitoba "Behind the Scenes and in Secret Places"
Date: Tue, 01/22/2013 Event Location: SkullSpace 2nd Floor, 374 Donald St.
WINNIPEG, MB -- You may not know it, but Winnipeg pushes the technology envelope in all sorts of interesting ways -- we are the city that invented SharePoint - true story. CIPS Manitoba has facilitated a glimpse into the activities of two clubs in Winnipeg; a Makerspace and a Hackerspace. *AssentWorks* is a non-profit workshop dedicated to providing hands-on access to fabrication and prototyping equipment, knowledge, and a community of support for entrepreneurs, inventors, tinkerers, artists, and innovators. *SkullSpace* is a Hackerspace, founded December 2010. It is a place for hackers, builders, programmers, artists, and anybody interested in how stuff works to gather in a common place and help focus their knowledge and creativity. SkullSpace is the largest Hackerspace in Canada. Each group is comprised of experts from all sorts of disciplines. If you're interested in rapid prototyping, 3D printing, and fabrication, or your more into programing, IT security and hardware, these groups have a lot to offer. CIPS Manitoba is your host for a behind-the-scenes tour of both clubs. Starting at 5:30 PM, on Tuesday the 22nd of January, 2013, SkullSpace located on the 2nd floor of 374 Donald St. will open its doors to CIPS members. The tour will continue at 7:00PM over at AssentWorks located on the 3^rd floor of 125 Adelaide St. There will be an informal reception at the King's Head Pub, 120 King Street after the tours. Please join us on the 22^nd of January for a look into two of the most engaging technology groups this city has to offer. The technology landscape in Manitoba has never been so dynamic and interesting. Register early, you won't want to miss out on this exciting discussion!

Uhhhh... that's kinda impressing and simultaneously depressing. I'd like to know more about that particular story.

One more "shawn/sean" and we'll have them all :-)
Yeah, I was thinking the same when I first saw it, thinking .. OK ... but that's all ... it's the original posting that went out for the meeting.
I did get some feedback on it indicating that it is in reference to the Ncompass labs group and them being bought-up by MS for incorporating their proto CMS technology into sharepoint ...
That's it. That's all I know. Oh, wait! Fig newtons were named after a town in Massachusetts, not the scientist. (BBT quote)
