Hi <br><br>I agree with Mitch,<br><br> we should do it, I am also going to be busy showing the interactive and space art program that I teach but I would be happy to support it anyway I can, going back and forth! I would submit it but I already did one and I am too busy catching up and surviving a flue..<br>
<br> I think that the proposal should be fairly simple:<br><br> project description:<br><br> a non profit that is XXXXX that will show:<br><br> hackable electronics- examples: robots, LEDS sign, more examples that I forgot and that is it.<br>
<br> We could also or even do a small video intro to noisebridge and have it run it in a laptop besides showing couple of projects. <br><br> it should be fun!<br><br>D<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Mar 20, 2009 at 11:19 AM, Mitch Altman <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:maltman23@hotmail.com">maltman23@hotmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hey Everyone,<br>
<br>
<br>
I am, indeed, setting up a HUGE Hardware Hacking Area at the SF Maker Faire (which is May 30 and 31 at the San Matea Fair Grounds). As well as teach zillions of people how to make cool things with microcontrollers (and how to solder) I will sing the praises of Noisebridge there!<br>
<br>
<br>
We will have workbenches with 40 solder stations going at once. At the Austin Maker Faire last year we had 38 stations, and it was totally hopping!! for most of the Faire. The SF Faire is about twice as big as the Austin one, so it will be beautiful chaos and pandamonium this year at the SF Faire! (I'll be needing volunteers again to make it all happen -- please let me know if you're interested). <br>
<br>
<br>
If we have a Noisebridge booth in the Faire (and I really think we should!) we can have them connected to one another conceptually (even though they will probably be in different buildings). I imagine a Noisebridge booth being an area where a bunch of people can show off their various cool projects. I will point people there from the Hardware Hacking Area (and also have stickers, and maybe more T-shirts). Of course, the Noisebridge booth should also have stickers, maybe T-shirts, and those cool new Noisebridge buttons! People can also have any amount of propaganda to pass out about their projects.<br>
<br>
<br>
As I said in a previous email, I am way behind on catching up on my emails, but if no one has taken a moment to enter a Noisebridge Booth proposal on the Maker Faire website, will someone be willing to do it? It only takes a few minutes:<div class="im">
