I've definitely been confused about the meetings (hence you haven't seen me since the beta "launch"). 2 meetings a week *seems* to not be a great idea and it'll just create more duplicate effort to communicate to everyone. Can we go back to one meeting a week and then the main builders for upcoming launches can coordinate amongst themselves?<br>
<br>FYI on being next to Noisebridge's booth - on the main Noisebridge mailing list recently, they said Spacebridge was going to be left on its own to find its own booth since we hadn't coordinated with the main Noisebridge booth. Someone should confirm/deny this.<br>
<br>I've never been to Maker Faire before (gasp!), so I really hope I can make it out this year!<br><br><br clear="all">Ariel Waldman | digital anthropologist<br><br>[ <a href="http://arielwaldman.com">http://arielwaldman.com</a> | <a href="http://spacehack.org">http://spacehack.org</a> ]<br>

By all means, if people want to get together Sunday, please do. But last I<br>
heard Nils, Blake, Brian and I will not be able to make it.<br>
<br>
As for Makers Faire, we have received confirmation that we have a booth, and<br>
have sent in our Participation Agreement, but have not received our email<br>
finalizing the details of our participation. But all other emails that I<br>
have sent regarding ether the lofting a balloon (which was outlined in our<br>
application), or the placement of our booth, have either not been responded<br>
to, or have been forwarded to the person who has not been responding to me<br>
-_- I'll send one more email today, but if anybody has contacts who might be<br>
a bit more attentive and wants to give it a shot, please do. Ultimately<br>
what we want is the ability to loft a balloon (and the safety details<br>
involved) and if possible have our booth placed adjacent to Noisebridge's<br>
booth (so we can use some of their space to widen our tether (and I<br>
understand the are kind of cool folks too)) I have so far been talking to<br>
Michelle.<br>
<br>
As for what we are doing for Makers Faire. So far the plan is surprisingly<br>
similar to what we did for Yuri's night. Changes to that plan will rely on<br>
balloon details. I am also planning on making a stand for the payload bus'<br>
to help display them.<br>
