-* The event getting hijacked from someone from a wealthy non profit who goes on and on for 20 minutes trying to get participants to sign up for $300 arduino classes.  This is a bad pattern because we end up listening to someone paid off by the rich non-profit holding $300 arduino classes instead of actually getting to work on the workshop.
