NoCo Maker Faire Coordination Thread

[Scott Converse]

Please post if you're going to help us with the NoCo Maker Faire on October 5th.  

Help means:  

• - Show up and work the booth (hand out flyers, talk up TinkerMill, etc.) 
  
• - Or it means running a project (the 3d Printer will be there, the foundry Lee's built, other project(s)?.
  

Ron Thomas (ronald...@gmail.com) is the overall coordinator for this and he will be nailing down the whos/whats/where over the next week and a half.

[Lee Sutherland]

I need to complete the foundry safety plan. I would like two to three volunteers to help out as well manning a booth, doing demonstrations.

[Scott Converse]

Want me to send out an email blast to the entire group?

That would be great, thanks!

Hey everybody,
Sorry for the delay, folks. Thanks, Scott for pushing this.

According to my notes, we have considered the following projects for presentation at the Maker Faire. If you're at all involved with any of these projects, can you please check in and provide us with an update? Are you prepared to present your project at the faire? What else do you need to complete or present it?

    - CPU Cooler - Jordan
    - Spot Welder - Doug
    - Siri Home Automation - Jim
    - Aluminum Foundry - Lee

    - Anyone I missed?

People without projects: We desperately need volunteers! In addition to the load-in on Friday afternoon and tear-down on Saturday evening, we need to provide sufficient staff for TWO locations for the entire duration of the event (10:00 am to 6:00 pm). Please let me know if you can help with staffing the booth or assisting with any projects.

I've missed the last two Tuesday meetings, but I'd like us to reconnect at the next one and have a final Maker-Faire-specific catch-up on Wednesday evening (I've just sent a MeetUp invitation).

Thanks,
Ron Thomas

I am no longer on the CPU cooler. I will be bringing our 3D printer though. Arriving at Tinkermill at 8am to start tear down. Leave around 8:45. Get to the Agilent Tech campus at 9:00-9:15 to begin setup.

On Friday? I don't think we can get in until 10:00, so no need to be there that early.

And I guess I didn't realize that load in in required to be Friday or earlier Saturday morning. Can we prearrange to do a load in on Saturday morning? I can have everything torn down Friday night and then just arrive at 8am to set up.

Is there any chance at all that you can do Friday?

We haven't pre-arranged for Saturday morning load-in, but I can certainly ask. No promises, though.

Great!

At the moment, we only have a single 10' x 10' booth and "basically unlimited" space outside for the forge. We'll need room for the projects and a bit of promotion for TinkerMill. Depending on the project updates, we should be fine with just the one booth. However, Karen suggested that there might be some flexibility with our getting a larger booth should we need it.

With regards to power, they've been scrambling a bit (apparently someone broke into the building and stole a bunch of copper) Here's the official word:
"Makers who need power are to arrive with a 50' UL approved extension cord plus a surge protector power strip as necessary. Makers who have requested power will have access to ONE 110v power plug. 220v power will not be available."

Karen mentioned that there will be power available both in and outside, but no one can tell us how much amperage is available in either place. I have a 2KW generator that I can bring to provide power outside if we end up needing it.

Two folding chairs and one table are provided for the booth inside. I don't believe anything is provided outside.

There will be pipe and drape for the booths, so we'll have places to hang some signage inside.

Thanks,
Ron Thomas

I can set things up on Friday. If we can get someone to bring an extra table or two +chairs from Tinkermill, that would be great. I can't, because my car is small.

I'll get started on a TinkMil general brochure. If people could upload pics to the gallery page on our site, I could use them in the materials. Other than a brochure, any thing else we might want? I'd be glad to supply the printing at no cost.

I'm afraid to throw this out, but I'm going to try to get some shirts done for the event. I can get the shirts here in a day and could screen them quickly. Maybe we do some down and dirty shirts for the show and better ones later. I'm thinking $10 for a shirt with the logo fairly large on the back. Lets start a poll for shirt color (logo white) and spec a size one would want. But please don't string me up if it doesn't come together.

I think shirts wood be great, but stickers would be Ben better.  I know, takes awhile.  Just a thought.

Let me know if you need any help with the brochure.

I can provide stickers (in-house) if they are square-cut. Glossy label stock, full color. Any size that fits on an 11" x 17" sheet. What were you thinking for content?

Thanks, Chrissy and everyone else who raised their hand last night.

I still need information from quite a few folks, so if can check the below lists and help me fill in the gaps in your information, that would be great!

Can anyone can provide any contact information for Dominick and Jingfeng Liu? I can't find any contact information for either of them (or even a last name in Doninick's case).

I'm still missing electronic confirmation from the following people:

  Jingfeng Liu
  Dominick (spelling?)
  Matt Yoder
  Shannon Moore
  Vishal Verma
  Marty Haase

I need email addresses for:
  Jingfeng Liu
  Dominick (spelling?)

I'd like phone numbers for:

  Ken Russell

  Jingfeng Liu
  Dominick (spelling?)

  Marty Haase

  Matt Yoder

Thanks,
Ron

Go to meetup.com (you're a co-organizer).

To email individuals, or create a list from our member base, you can click on the Group Tools (next to your name/pic top right), select email members.  Then 'see more options' under send this message to.  Then pick 'a custom list', then 'new list'.. and email one (or several) members.  I noticed 'dominick' isn't on there but everyone else is.

No phone numbers though.  I would put together a list tonight of everone's phones.

Mine's 303.875.1243

Thanks, Cody. I've already used that where possible. The previously-sent list reflects information I need that isn't in the members list or (as far as I can tell) available via MeetUp.

Hey folks,

To stop flooding the Google Groups, I've split off the Maker Faire discussion into a separate email thread. If you did not receive it and are planning to help out with the Maker Faire, please contact me directly and I'll make sure we get you in the loop.

Thanks,

Ron Thomas
