No one person speaks with any kind of authority for the group. Personally, I don't think we need any more machines at the shop since we're rapidly approaching critical mass for equipment, but others in the group may want to talk with you about it. The sign is an issue the board may want to take up at the general meeting on Tuesday, though there may be discussion over the design. And no, I don't see that it matters what you do.<br>
<br>Any discussion regarding the sign or the stickers is best done with everyone on the general mailing list: <a href="https://lists.makerslocal.org/mailman/listinfo/general">https://lists.makerslocal.org/mailman/listinfo/general</a><br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3" color="navy"><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: navy;">I've just bought a test piece of 1/4" Lexan yesterday to investigate
the vinyl's ability to frustrate the internal reflection and keep us from
having to etch it - <br>
<br>
I've been planning on placing it the window to the right of the door, running
the edge lighting (RGB) from inside on an AVR. It's been a back-burner
project while other more pressing problems were solved.<br>
<br>
I think this is a nice solution to night-friendly signage, but may have to be
backed-up for daytime utility, possibly with dark letters on a white background
behind the lexan.<br>
<br>
I like your design for the sign in the other email - <br>
<br>
Do you have time to stop by the shop later today to talk about it? I'm
working until about 4:30, but I'll be down there soon after that.<br>
