[Noisebridge-discuss] tickets to HAR and Plumbercon, including airplane

[Walter Funk]

Michael,

   The foundation center is a great place to research grants. Could be possible to find funding for the conferences, if you can tie it into research or other current projects.

They are at 312 Sutter on the 6th floor

http://www.foundationcenter.org

   Have done lots of work there. If you need to pick my brain, please pick away.

Cheers,
Walter
