Thanks Bob!
The reason I asked Bob to post this was because of the interest
expressed at the shop tonight when he was talking about this particular
product. Briefly, it's a plug-n-play self contained GPS logger.
As per Bob's other email we used it on the launch Sunday.
According to the UAV discussion tonight, it can do updates at 10Hz which
makes it very useful for quadcopters, planes, etc.
The adafruit order has been delayed waiting for parts to come into
stock, so if you're interested in getting on the order (perhaps to get
one of these modules), please fill out the spreadsheet:

Leave the Discount? column blank because I have to actually use our
hackerspace account in order to see what discount we'll get, and as you
can see, the discounts are all over the map.
New plan is to order by Wednesday if the motor controller class kits are in.
