[Noisebridge-discuss] Submitting billboard designs to promote hackerspaces

[James Carlson]

We could offer non-profit status when needed to spaces when they get the low non-profit rates, just for the specific projects of getting billboards up, or would be happy to coordinate that action as the School Factory. Let us know. The idea sounds good, although billboards are mostly an eyesore! :)
