[General] N-Prize Entry Results In Chance For Publicity

[Ethan Chew]

Hello,

     I got a rather enthusiastic response about Makers Local 256 from the
N-Prize organizer, Paul.  He is making a mini-documentary on the N-Prize and
would like us to submit any nice graphics or video of us to add to his
mention of us.  Can anyone offer?

                - Ethan

Hi Ethan,

Yes, there's still room - in fact, there's no limit on the number of
entrants, and you'll be our 25th registered team.

I had a quick look at the HALO site - and I am very impressed!  As you may
know, several of our teams are opting for rockoons, but very few have yet
launched anything from balloon platforms.  Your launch of a hybrid from a
balloon platform is outstanding!

I'm attaching the registration documents, which are very simple (and free,
of course).  One is a PDF which needs to be printed, signed, scanned and
then emailed back to me.   The other is a Word document asking for some team
details which we can put up on the N-Prize site.  Once I get these two
documents back, you're registered.

I've also activated your N-Prize forum membership.  I must admit, most teams
are using other forums (such as the Space Fellowship site) rather than the
N-Prize one, but please drop by and say hello.

By the way - I like the "Makers Local 256" - is this a local chapter of some
wider organisation?  Dumpster diving and tinkering is a passion of mine.

One last thing - we're about to film a mini-documentary, which we'll release
on YouTube and (if we're lucky) get excerpts on TV news.  If you're
registered before we film (6th August, then editing after that), we might
get a chance to mention your team.  If you've got any nice graphics or video
that we could include in the documentary, let me know.


Best wishes
Paul

Hello,

       I am seeking to enter HAL5's HALO
Project<http://chapters.nss.org/al/HAL5/HALO_Index.shtml>in
partnership with Makers
Local 256 <http://256.makerslocal.org/> into the N-Prize competition.  Is
there still room in the lineup?  I understand you have limited the number of
entrants.  Please let me know if we may or may not enter.

                   Respectfully,
                   Ethan Chew
