If you missed the meeting this week... Sept 22nd? That's months away... June 30th! That's right around the corner! June 30th is the deadline for the first round of maker proposals: See http://pghmakerfaire.com/makers to submit proposals. This year we're trying out a two-phase selection process: If you are accepted in the first round, you know you're in and you have more time to prepare. Plus you can also crow about being accepted and start to advertise that. We (the faire itself) can also promote that you'll be there as way to try to get more folks interested in participating and attending. As we (HackPittsburgh) are co-hosts of the event, it would look good to have a bunch of our members accepted in the first round. If you were there last year, we're asking you to step up your game, we want to see something more than just a repeat. The Museum video staff have just released a video promo: http://pghmakerfaire.com/2012/06/22/video-call-for-makers/ How many of our members (and former members) can you spot!? Please send out that link to your networks, etc! -Doug P.S. There will be a special and more detailed announcements-list post going out this weekend.
