| − | 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>

| |
| − | 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?

| |
| − | # 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
