Publicity

Media coverage

Advertising

  • Is it worth buying some online ads? We tried Facebook last time - was it a success? I have a free Google Adwords voucher if that is of any use --Teabot

Demonstrations

  • Would be nice to have some kind of project display area to showcase what kind of things are done at the space. Projects with immediate appeal:
    • Anything Kinect related
    • The Quadcopter build
    • Lasercut stuff - There have been some beautiful build lately: puzzle box, Tetris/Mario pieces etc.
    • 3D printed stuff - some members are building RepRaps currently?

Food & drink

  • Licensed bar
  • Unusual beers
