<div>Very cool, a custom PCB would look real sharp for the show and saving that space would help keep the price on target easily.</div><div><br></div>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.<div>
<br></div><div><a href="http://oshwlogo.com/">http://oshwlogo.com/</a></div><div><br></div><div>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: <a href="http://www.adafruit.com/products/589">http://www.adafruit.com/products/589</a>. They are <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:11px;text-align:left">1.7" x 2.0"</span><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:11px;text-align:left"> so we could get something close to that in 4 times on a board x5 would be 20 boards.</span></div>

<div><span><var></var>Thanks for the offer. We haven't settled upon a specific circuit yet and, since we don't know how many we will need (we are guessing at 20-30), we more-or-less decided to use a generic board like the ones in the attachment. The excess could then be used for other projects. Clearly one is from Radio-Shack while the other, essentially identical, board is offered by Electronix Express. </span>What the timing on your project?</div>

<div><br></div>Thanks for organizing the shifts Ellis. I'll plan on being around most of the day also. Do the shifts include setup and teardown of the booth?
<div><br></div>
<div>AEDC is supporting us financially for much of this project including getting the booth since we're showing off Hive 4a hackerspace.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>We saw Tom and Jim's work on a project for kids to put together. The idea of selling a simple kit based on a 555 is floating around. It would be similar to this: <a title="https://www.adafruit.com/products/496
CTRL + Click to follow link" href="https://www.adafruit.com/products/496" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.adafruit.com/products/496</a>. Jim also brought up the idea of having scholarships as appropriate. We talked last night about setting up a mock booth in the hackerspace to get an idea of how we will handle it.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Matthew was going to call Dave at Davinci and get some details about the event, including what sort of an audience they are expecting so we can gear the booth accordingly. I was asking if the booth would be indoor or outdoor. I saw in the exhibitors guide that it will be indoor. We'll also be requesting Internet and Electricity access to the booth.</div>

<div><br></div>
<div>Please respond if you can commit to being there. We will need 3+ people there at a time so we can also rotate wandering around the event itself. If you wish to volunteer for a shift, please specify one of the following (1/2 hour extra for setup and take down):</div>
<div>1/3 day Shift: 9:30-12, 12-2, 2-4:30</div>
<div>1/2 day Shift: 9:30-1, 1-4:30</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Matt said he could let us into the Bridgeworks space in the morning if we need to pick stuff up and then be there for 2-4:30.</div>
<div>Tom, Jim, and I will be there basically the whole time.</div><span><font color="#888888">
