Michael's message may look a little garbled (program writing wears you out)
Michael and JD will be at NB at 6:30 to round out our proposal.
Join us.
And feel free to read the stuff that looks like it was >quoted below...

Argh!
Take 3: The files are way too big. I've uploaded the proposal to the
Noisebridge wiki:
https://www.noisebridge.net/images/1/17/ExCEL_Program_Proposal_Draft_4-28-09
.doc
Remember as you read the proposal that we are following the structure of the
RFP:
https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Image:Enrichment_RFP_09-10_-_Final.doc
(See, I told you our brains were fried).
See you at NB in about half an hour.
