[Imc-makerspace] IMC Open House and IMC Omnia proposals

[Jeffrey Putney]

Hey Danielle,

Thanks for the update. I'm glad quad day went so well, that's wonderful.

As for the Maker Faire discussion I'm going to forward this to
Makerfaire-discuss at lists.chambana.net which is the mailing list dedicated
to Maker Faire organizing. And anyone here is certainly welcome to
join<https://lists.chambana.net/mailman/listinfo/makerfaire-discuss>.
 I'll also make sure we talk this over a bit tonight at open hours.

Thanks!
  Jeff
