Howdy,
>Thanks for the offer!

I'm helping organize the first annual Nashville (mini) Maker Faire. We're partnering with the Adventure Science Center to host this exhibition of fun do-it-yourself ingenuity, creativity, and awesome fun goodness. If you've never heard of a Maker Faire, check this out: http://makerfaire.com.
So why am I writing to PyNash? Simple. One of the maker faire organizers (in Pittsburgh) created this website: http://callformakers.org
He's had some family issues that have prevented him from opening it up to other Faires. When I asked him about the platform, he said:
Anything other software devs can help with? What's the platform?

So, I'm wondering if anyone on the list has strong web2py-fu and is willing to help us out. Any takers?

I would LOVE to see this happen! I have some arduino (processor) code up on my github but mostly I've kept it in my on local git repo out of figuring it was still much a work in progress. I will change this asap.
I can't write more now but I will shortly. Suffice to say I've spent the last 6 months sinking my face in everything open source hardware I could find and this is a great idea. I have a few finished projects I'm happy with.
I worked with the Adventure Science Center several years ago with another non profit and they were very kind people.

Chris,
Good to hear there are makers on this list! Please join the nashville-makers list and let us know more about your project(s).
In the meanwhile, do you have the web2py mojo to help us out with the call for makers?
Thanks,
Matt
