[Cyborg] Fwd: [Noisebridge-discuss] Re: March Digikey Bulk Order

[Rachel McConnell]

I'm gonna be at NB tonight and will at least work out what I want from
digikey and add it to the order page.  Lamont, I don't really understand
this well enough to tease out a set of things to order but maybe someone
else tonight can do so, or help me with it.

As you probably saw, Jason's going to do the bulk order tomorrow, not
today, so there's a bit of time to get ourselves sorted.
