[Noisebridge-discuss] [Fwd: RE: Maker #2451: Noisebridge - Maker Faire Participation Agreement] & meeting reminder

Tue May 12 21:01:46 UTC 2009

Looks like we need to get a Real count of who all plans to come to Maker
Faire with Noisebridge.  If you are definitely planning on attending,
please come to the meeting this Friday at 7PM.  If you absolutely can't
come to the meeting, please make it known in some manner that you still
intend to come to Maker Faire with Noisebridge.  (If you're going
primarily with another project and don't need a badge, feel free to
ignore this.)

I'm going to reply to Valerie that I'll get her our list of participants
over the next weekend.

Hi Rachel,

You have signed up for a standard exhibit which is a 10x10 space with 2
credentials/wristbands per exhibit.  Your exhibit will also get 2
complimentary one day tickets.

We will certainly work with you to provide credentials/wristbands for those
working your exhibit area but without knowing what you are planning to do,
it is hard to gauge what you will need.  I can see about getting you 10
credentials but anything above and beyond that will need to be reviewed.

If you would like to invite your members to come to Maker Faire, we are
offering special discounted tickets at $10.00 per ticket. These discounted
tickets are available for purchase at Maker Check-In only.  I think you will
find that this is a significant savings on the regular price tickets.  We
are also selling tickets advanced purchase online tickets and the Adult
weekend tickets are $20 off.

Please get back to me with the names of your team and we will go from there.

Thanks,

Valerie Aubel

Request

Hi Valerie,

Thanks for this info, I will accept the agreement soon.  I would like to
discuss the number of credentials/passes, however.  Am I right in
assuming that credentials identify the bearer as part of a particular
exhibit, whereas passes are simply free entry?

Noisebridge is an organization with over 75 members and growing fast.
Of course not everyone will be attending Maker Faire, but there are at
least 20 individuals from Noisebridge who would like to show projects
under the Noisebridge umbrella.

Would it be possible to get 20 credentials or passes for the Noisebridge
people?  Mitch Altman has assured me this ought to be fine.  I can get
you a list of people's names in the next week (we are still finalizing
this as one or two members may be attending with other exhibits instead)
if that is required.

Thank you!
Rachel McConnell
