I was thinking that it would be cool to have a collaborative billboard for the three spaces in the Bay Area. Something like?:<BR>
HACKERSPACES,<BR>
(they're not what you think)<BR>
-- TEACH, LEARN, SHARE WHAT YOU LOVE<BR>
Find one near you:<BR>
<A href="http://www.tiny.cc/hackerspaces">www.tiny.cc/hackerspaces</A><BR>
Then some simple, yet compelling graphic?<BR>
<BR>
But collaborating with the Tech on this seems like a really good match, since innovation is a huge part of all of what we all do.<BR>
<BR>
Meredith is kinda busy now, but if she's into doing a graphic for whatever content we decide, that'd be great. I've cc-ed her on this.<BR>
