Re: [sudo-discuss] Possible event in sudo room - hosting a space hackathon???

Hi folks, A gentleman whose company works with kids to learn and program small satellites has reached out asking if we would be interested in hosting a hackathon in early November, excerpted below: "It's been awhile, so I thought I'd reach out and see if you were interested in an upcoming space hackathon sponsored by Intel (and probably 1 or 2 additional brands). Current dates we are looking at are November 7-9, and I was curious if Sudo would be interested in hosting 1 of the 3 locations? We have budget for food, raffle prizes, t-shirts, and Intel Edison microcontrollers." I tried to get a team from my old highschool in San Antonio to do this but unfortunately got in too late to get them signed up last year. There is currently only hacker yoga scheduled for 5pm that Sunday - any objections to offering to host this event? I think it could be a great opportunity, and it might just bring some of our local rocket scientists out of the woodwork. If we do wind up hosting it, I'd be glad to handle all the associated work. Of course I will have to get more details from him and communicate that sudo room does not officially endorse Intel or other companies by agreeing to host this, etc. Here's their website: http://magnitude.io/ What do y'all think?
