[Fwd: Hackerspace Competition at the Fort Wayne Regional Maker Faire]

[Nathaniel Bezanson]

One of the few non-spams to hit contact@ lately, I figured this might be
of general interest. I've zorched the attachments before forwarding it
along, but if you want the FWRMF poster (3 meg) or the Obstacle Drag Race
PDF (400k), email me off-list and I'll pass them along.

Hello. I would like to introduce myself. I am Ed DeWitt, and I am involved
with an organization in Fort Wayne, Indiana known as TekVenture
(http://tekventure.org/). TekVenture is a public art & technology lab being
built in the near downtown area.

TekVenture hosts the annual "Chain Reaction Challenge"
(http://tekventure.org/CRC/) and the "Fort Wayne Regional Maker Faire"
(http://makerfairefortwayne.com/). Another element of the organization is
the hackerspace known as the "TekVenture Maker Station"
(http://tekventure.org/maker-station/).

As part of this year's FWR Maker Faire (see attached flyer), we are
organizing an mini electric vehicle competition between hackerspaces. The
rules and regulations are attached for your examination. Please note that
this competition is NOT affiliated with the Power Racing Series (PPPRS) and
there are no national points awarded to any of the competitors. So if you
think you would enjoy a little friendly competition with other hackerspaces
from around the region, mark October 6 and 7 in your calendars, and come
spend the time at our event.

Lastly, I want to let you know that our Call for Makers is now open too
(http://makerfairefortwayne.com/2012/05/22/2012-fwr-maker-faire-now-open/).

Feel free to pass on this information to other people and hackerspaces which
may be interested. Please direct all questions to me, as I will be
organizing hackerspace attendance at the Maker Faire.

Thanks, and I hope to hear from you soon,

Ed DeWitt
