[Vanhackspace] Talk on ALS Design Competition/Project

[starrant at telus.net]

Hi Hackers,

Some of you may remember a few months back seeing an email seeking help with a 
student project intended to be entered in an Engineering Design Competition to 
help persons living with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease).......

I'm very pleased to report that, through the vanhackspace mailing list, our 
project group was able to make contact with a skilled volunteer programmer and 
go on to complete a very successful project.

If there is an interest, members of our project group would like to make a brief 
and casual presentation of our project at an upcoming hackspace night.   The 
competition we entered our project in is open to entries from independent (non-
school-affiliated) individuals and groups, is for a very good cause helping 
severely disabled persons, and offers substantial cash prizes for entries that 
are judged to be an innovation helpful to persons with ALS.  Some of you might 
wish to enter a project in next year's competition, and we would like to tell 
you how to go about it!   

If the person or persons who schedule and organize event nights at the hackspace 
would get back to me, I would like to set up a mutually convenient time to do a 
little presentation and show off our project.

Thanks,
