[Noisebridge-discuss] Submitting billboard designs to promote hackerspaces

[Matt Spergel]

Or, what would also be cool is a billboard promoting just
NoiseBridge–but make it look like a comic book. The storyline could be
how someone discovers NoiseBridge, and then show how that changes
their life.

Do you guys know Meredith Scheff-King <http://ladycartoonist.com/>? I
believe she's a NoiseBridger and I bet she would be thrilled to do
something like this.
