[MakeLV] Opportunity to participate in Lehigh Valley ScienceFestival

[Josiah Ritchie]

Very cool, a custom PCB would look real sharp for the show and saving that
space would help keep the price on target easily.

If we're messing with the silk screen (is that what the legend is?), the
Open Source Hardware logo and/or the Hive4a logo would be worth
consideration. Our circuit is likely to work on 1 side easily, maybe the
logos and website could be on the other side.

It occurs to me that using the more generic layout of the board would mean
a bit of flexibility for someone with some other ideas for the circuit so
maybe we just need to duplicate that or use a breadboard like layout
similar to these: http://www.adafruit.com/products/589. They are 1.7" x 2.0" so
we could get something close to that in 4 times on a board x5 would be 20
boards.
