First meeting of the Homebrew Computer Club (1975)
On March 3, 1975, the first ever meeting of the Homebrew Computer Club was held. The session took place in one of the garages in Menlo Park, California, and the founders of the club, Fred Moore and Gordon French, welcomed about three dozen microcomputer enthusiasts (that is, electronics in general). The subject of the debate was mainly the Altair computer, which was available at the time in the form of a home "building kit". The Homebrew Computer Club was not only a meeting place for computer enthusiasts, but also a breeding ground for a number of talents and future big names in the technology industry - we can name, for example, Bob Marsh, Adam Osborn, Steve Jobs or Steve Wozniak.
