[Noisebridge-discuss] Maker Faire Planning

Tue Mar 2 23:06:58 UTC 2010

The Maker Faire is still a ways away, but on the days of the Faire, I'd recommend taking Caltrain to Hillsdale Station, and walking the 10 minutes to the San Mateo Fair Grounds.

As May, and the Faire, approaches, I'll be sending out more info.  For those that can make it, I'd like to have a 30-minute meeting to show everyone what we'll be doing at the Hardware Hacking Area (maybe I'll have two or three 30-minute meetings, with a variety of days/times, so that everyone can make it to one of them).  But this will be at the beginning of May.

Mitch.

For the Hardware Hacking Area we'll have lots of people soldering, and making lots of cool things.  It is way fun to help out!  (And, of course, you get into the Faire for free.)  There's lots of things to help with:  teaching people to solder, answering peoples' questions about how to make their projects (all of which have well-documented assembly instructions), greeting people at the entrance to the Area, explaining to interested people passing by what's going on, and explaining the myriad of projects on display that they can make, showing people how to use the Brain Machine -- as usual, there will be a row of people using the Brain Machine, which is a great photo-op!, and also attracts LOTS of attention to draw people to the Hardware Hacking Area.  So, any and/or all of these are things you can do to help out in your 3-hour (or more!, if you like) shift at the Hardware Hacking Area at the SF Maker Faire.

On the subject of the upcoming Maker Faire (22 & 23-May  http://www.makerfaire.com ), I'll again be setting up a Huge Hardware Hacking Area, with 54 soldering stations, where people can come and make cool things during the Faire.  I'll again need about 25 volunteers (or more!) to help with 3-hour shifts.  This gets you into the Faire for both days for free!  Wanna help?  Please email me off-list.

The Huge Hardware Hacking Area is part of Noisebridges contribution to the Faire.

Hello folks; 

If you want to help with Noisebridge prepare for Maker Faire, have a project you would like to show off at the event, or are willing to contribute your time to work at the booth/logistics/etc for the event, it's time we met.

We should set a time to talk about who what where when, and I'd expect after or before a Tuesday meetings would be the right time. Msg me off list to coordinate. No need to start another thread here.
