Overview

A Maker Fair \ Con in Huntsville. Not an original idea, just trying to get some brainstorming materials written down. We may be a ways away from this, or maybe we're ready for it now. Dunno.

Things to Fill an Hour

1. Lunch Break
2. Rocketbikes (local huntsville organization)
3. HAL5 Halo Project (maybe a DIY rocket \ high altitude project talk?)
4. Hackerspaces formation panel\talk
5. (Hackerspace) Projects Presentation
6. (Hackerspace) Projects Presentation
7. (Hackerspace) Projects Presentation
8. Maker Faire (Off-Stage. All projects on display to get up close and personal with)
9. Contest Prize Giveaway, Awards, Closing Ceremonies

There should be enough material for at least a one day con\faire like outerz0ne5's schedule. Maybe need to take the focus off of the Huntsville area show-and-tell and try to bring in farther away maker\hackerspace groups, like HackDC.
