Q. What are we going to do with them at Maker Faire?


A. Let's take ''all'' we still have to the Faire and see if we can get rid of all of them there!  The world of geekdom will descend upon Noisebridge before, during, and after the Faire, and they will probably be popular, and a good fund-raiser for Noisebridge.

Zack (?) fixed the 42-inch TV and it could be placed onto a table with wheels and display various things and kinds of information while people are doing projects. It can take two simultaneous inputs in split-screen mode.  Ideally there will be a computer attached to it and maybe a wireless keyboard and mouse.

====Hacker in residence====
At the beginning of Noisebridge, we talked about the idea of having a hacker in residence program, where we would designate someone as Noisebridge hacker in residence for a period of time and give them some kind of support and recognition.


Mitch has been talking with Paul about having a hacker in residence.  He is a grantwriter.  He is proposing to write a grant proposal to have a hacker in residence.
