[General] Near-Space Balloon Contest.

[Matt]

Sorry for the huge email, but I think we should participate in this.
Also, read http://space.1337arts.com/ to see how MIT did theirs.

All,

My name is Kevin Roof; I'm a member of Workshop 88, a hackerspace
based in the suburbs of Chicago.

We're guessing many of you have been following news on the
near-space weather balloon projects around the country, but if not,
here are a few links to start:

We've come up with an interesting hackerspace competition involving
near-space balloons that we thought many of you would be interested in.
 I've attached an informational sheet and marketing flyer.

Let us know what you think,
Workshop 88

P.S. If you know of a hacker space we missed, please forward this
invite to them.
