request for help for marketing material

[David Lang]

As we talk with other organizations and groups, we need to have nice, organized
'what is HSL' type of documents. Nowdays, I think we mostly need this in digital
form, but eventually something that is printable will be useful.

I am not good at this sort of thing, so I'm looking to see who enjoys doing this
sort of work and wants to help and or take responsibility for coordinating the
work.

I am thinking that we need at least two different sets of this.

1. focused on community 'look at all the fun events we host'
2. focused on tools we have

I'm personally more focused on the 2nd, thinking in terms of schools that have
makerspaces in them and the students who lose access to those tools when they
finish the class, summer vacation hits, they graduate, etc. I want to see us
link up to programs and position HSL as a "now that you know how to make things,
here is a place that has tools so you can keep making things" continuation.

I'm thinking in terms of a slide deck, with no more than about 3 slides per
station, showing what equipment the station has and some examples of the work
(fewer slides per station would be better, this is a quick overview of what we
have, not a tutorial).

I want these docs to have a permanent URL that we can put on business cards,
flyers, posters, etc.

Anyone interested?

It's just an idea until there's a date and time included.

It might be worth putting some of this content on Google maps. Pictures of the tools and descriptions in the captions that help people understand how to engage could go there easily.  Not sure if that would do more to engage potential new members or invite theft, but I assume the former.

I found the old version of http://www.heatsynclabs.org/about/ at https://web.archive.org/web/20120120072735/http://www.heatsynclabs.org/about/ and copied its info to the wiki page. So this is fixed now. Diff here: https://wiki.heatsynclabs.org/w/index.php?title=Press_Kit&diff=6768&oldid=5957

FYI for those only reading here, there is a separate version of this Google Groups discussion happening in Slack. It's in the #general channel for now but I've suggested that future discussions take place in #marketing : https://heatsynclabs.slack.com/archives/CAWLL66LU I'll post a summary of the Slack discussion here on request (though I would prefer people sign up for Slack).
