My huge commendation to Jon and Phoebe for putting together an awesome
little space for WP at this year's Maker Faire. Wish we could have
done more, but in a sense it makes so much sense to see our volunteers
building a volunteer space at a volunteer-oriented making event like
Maker Faire. It's a real one of a kind.
And of course big props to all the volunteers who got to come out and
join in the outreach efforts. Here's to many more (funnelcakes) and
makerfaires!
