Hi Jake,<BR> <BR>Matt (cc-ed on this), one of the organizers of this project mentioned the possibility of meeting with Loudsauce. But I don't think he has. It could be way helpful for an intro to connect with Colin. Could you?<BR> <BR>Thanks,<BR>Mitch.<br> <BR> <BR><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: jake@gaffta.org<br>Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2011 14:07:14 -0700<br>Subject: Re: [Noisebridge-discuss] (no subject)<br>To: krasnykh@gmail.com<br>CC: maltman23@hotmail.com; noisebridge-discuss@lists.noisebridge.net<br><br>Great idea. LoudSauce is a crowdsourcing platform for buying public ad space for social messaging on a variety of platforms. This would be a great collaboration and I know their founder Colin if anyone is interested in connecting with them. It's like kickstarter for taking over billboards and TV time.<div>

huge billboard up on I-680 to promote libraries and education for a few
thousand dollars (rather than tens of thousands).<span> </span>The result:</font><BR><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">
