-As a result of the campaign to put up billboards to promote hacker culture, enough money was raised to put up 25 huge billboards in San Francisco and San Jose!
-These were paid for by Noisebridge, Hacker Dojo, The Tech Museum, MAKE Magazine, and TechShop.  '''(And to get more billboards up, TechShop kicked in another $25,000!)'''
-These photos show some of the billboards (all are identical, and all are in high-profile locations).<br>

-= The original appeal to raise funds for the billboards =
-Interested in helping get huge billboards up to promote maker/hacker culture?
-I’ve been involved with talks with The Tech Museum, MAKE: Magazine, TechShop, and Hacker Dojo about getting billboards up to promote maker/hacker culture.
-The person behind making this happen is Matt Spergel, who has some good experience in hacking the billboard system to get great coverage for cool projects.  Matt managed to get a huge billboard up on I-680 to promote libraries and education for a few thousand dollars (rather than tens of thousands).  The result:<br>
-[[Image:FREE_EDUCATION.jpg]]<br>
-[http://bookable.wordpress.com/2009/07/13/worlds-largest-public-library-advertisement/ FREE EDUCATION]<br>
-Matt’s idea now is to have 3 huge billboards to promote maker/hacker culture, with the logos for Noisebridge, Hacker Dojo, The Tech Museum, MAKE, and TechShop:
-* 1 street level billboard in San Jose (most likely downtown?)
-* 1 street level billboard in San Francisco
-* and 1 kick ass billboard on the skyway in SF.
-Each one will look like this mockup:<br>
-[[Image:InventBillboardMockup.png|center|600px]]<br>
-We are $1,000 short of this goal, and I agreed to try and raise this on Noisebridge’s behalf.  The other groups have already come up with the following amounts of money for this project:
-* Hacker Dojo:  $1,000
-* MAKE:  $1,500
-* TechShop:  $1,500
-* The Tech Museum:  $2,500
-* Noisebridge:  $1,000
-If a bunch of people each kick in a few dollars, we can easily come up with the $1k to make this happen.  I’m starting this off by pledging $250.  Anyone else in?
-You can add your pledge to the wiki I created for this<br>

-The billboard campaign starts on 25-July, so we have 2 weeks to reach our goal of $1k and make these 3 billboards a reality!
-'''Objectives of the campaign'''
-# To grow maker/hacker culture.
-# To create more visibility for our organizations.
-# To get more people involved who will add to maker/hacker culture
-# To promote more collaboration amongst the orgs in on this billboard
