[General] Foundry Workshop at ISDC 2011 - Opportunity For Makers Local 256 to Participate

[Ethan Chew]

Hey Guys,

      I have an interesting opportunity at ISDC 2011 for Makers Local 256 to
participate in a 2-day Foundry Workshop for project incubation; Thursday
5/19, 8:30am to Friday 5/20, 6pm at the Embassy Suites Huntsville Monte
Santo Boardroom (2nd Floor).  The organizer, Mr. Gregory Allison (cc'd as
ghallison at aol.com), who is interested in Makers Local 256, is asking if we
may present the group to the workshop attendees and/or act as
advisors/judges to the projects.
     The workshop is targeted to an audience of people who are interested in
working on projects.  It helps them turn good ideas into doable projects by
bringing together the right people, skills and resources.  This would be an
excellent audience for us to present to and interact with.  As it stands, he
is asking for a presentation during the beginning of the workshop
(8:30-9:00am on Thursday).  For advising/judging, that will be at the last
hour of the workshop (5-6pm on Friday).  If you are acting in a presenter
and judge/advisor function, you do not need to a badge for ISDC to be at the
workshop.
      Makers may participate as regular workshop participants as long as
they register for ISDC and pay for Foundry registration; register

select Thursday and Friday for Section IV and purchase tickets for the

co-sponsor rate; identify yourself as a shop member in Section I.  Maker
