We got our booth for the Maker Faire!
Who can help set up on Thursday?
Bill S., we'll need your electronic sign.
We should also make cards or flyers to hand out with our meeting times and places.
Note that Maker Faire is 3 days this year, starting on Friday May 15th. We need to start a schedule for all 3 days for occupying the booth.

Ken,
We are excited to inform you that your proposal for Maker Faire, Bay Area Reprap Group [Project 50824], has been accepted. Congratulations, we are delighted to have you participate in the 10th Annual Maker Faire Bay Area 2015.
Your support and involvement is important to the Maker community, and we thank you in advance for bringing your project, enthusiasm, and Maker spirit to the event. Maker Faire celebrates the best of human imagination and creativity, and we expect that this Maker Faire will be no different.
We want to make sure that we help prepare you in advance for a great experience. Please find key information below.
1. Save the dates May 15, 16 & 17 for Maker Faire!
Plan on setting up Thursday, May 14 and join us in the late afternoon for networking, a Maker Mixer, and our traditional Maker Paella Dinner prepared by Gerard. It is a wonderful opportunity to meet other makers and have some fun before the event begins. You will receive an invite with details as we get closer to the event.
Please note that we are STARTING ONE DAY EARLIER this year. Plan to be show ready on Friday, May 15 at 1pm.
Preliminary Maker Faire Schedule:
Please think about ways to design your space to be educational, interactive, and fun. If you have any questions about your exhibit or changes to it, please reference the Maker Toolkit.
3. Keep an eye out for upcoming Maker Newsletters.
In the coming weeks, we will email Maker Newsletters with important information to guide you along. Prior to arriving onsite, we expect that you have read the Maker Toolkit, that you will abide by the rules and regulations, and that we have agreed on the specifics of your exhibit as detailed in the Confirmation Letter sent before the event.
4. Submit additional information as needed.
If your exhibit requires Safety Team or Fire Marshal approval (you know who you are), please submit your Safety Plan by April 13. The Safety Plan forms are located in the Maker Toolkit. If you received this letter after April 13, please submit your plan asap. Help us produce a fun and safe environment for all.
5. Spread the news that you’ve been accepted!

Hi Ken - You may or may not know, but I
have a T-Shirt printing business and since I will not be available
to volunteer to man the booth I would like to support the group by
donating some custom printed T-shirts for the volunteers. I can
work with someone from the group who wants to spearhead the
effort. Ultimately, I will need a shirt count as to size/qty and
a graphic design in electronic format by around mid-April so I can
fit them into my normal work queue. Let me know if there is
interest for this.

Hi Rick,
I think that would be great to have T-shirts. Does anybody in the group have some graphic design experience? Andrew, do you want to design us a logo/T-shirt?
Bill, thanks for helping me setup on Thursday. Anybody else? We need a Google doc for a schedule where people can sign up for a spot. Anybody that signs up for a 4 hour shift in the booth gets free entry into the Maker Faire. They should be good for the whole weekend like last year, but I need to verify that.
Ken

I don't have much graphic design experience, but I was fooling around with vector graphics the other day and the RepRap logo. I'll post it later today. My feelings won't be hurt at all if the consensus is that it's fugly.
