This is a pretty awesome idea. Good thinking Dana.

With that, I'd like to share my plans for increasing the income for All
Hands Active by December.

As I shared in my bio on the AHA election page, one of my ideas is to hold
sponsored Hackathons at AHA. The election isn't over but I've already begun
working with Khevna and will be meeting with Michigan Hackers(who already
hold such events) on Friday.

While I do realize it will take a non-trivial amount of time and effort to
stage a success event like this, I see it potentially contributing not only
rent money but also new members to our beloved hackerspace.

Another thing AHA needs to do is hone its outreach to communities that
would potentially be interested in an org like AHA but are perhaps not
aware of the spirit and activities that occur at AHA. This requires old
fashioned legwork, as Nate Yost mentioned in his bio. I'd gladly be willing
to participate in reaching out to groups such as bicycle co-ops(does AA
have any?), radio/software user groups(I'm sure this has been done, but
regular reminders of our existence can't hurt) and whoever else might be
interested in being part of our community.

tl;dr I will organize sponsored Hackathons and do community outreach,
