* FYI - I'm organizing a Washtenaw County Wide Meeting for Maker/Hacker Leaders as follow-up to last October.  Emily P-R is too busy and we plan to rotate it through the spaces themselves.  Date/Time - TBD
 
- Emily has passed on the torch to organize this event since she has too many commitments.  AHA will be the next place this happens when it happens.  Supposed to be a quarterly event.  There is another event which focuses on kids, driven by UMSI/AADL/Brainmonkeys, etc..
 
- Zach suggests an "Ann Arbor Makes!" day at such a meeting, that encourages city-wide making, and moves around between various places.
