• Swag = 100$ (Stickers or other assorted keep things)
• General supplies = 100$ (whiteboards? paper? misc?)

Mobile Muse will sponsor this event with $1000 cash plus Jean's direct assistance. Other parties may want to co-sponsor (WinBC?), but I'll let them step up if they want.

Equipment (Borrow everything!):

• WiMax Modems (x2)
• WiMax >>> WiFi rebroadcasters (x2)
• Extension cords (x3)
• Power generators?
• Projector(s) = Mobile Muse can get one video projector for free for the day, but we might prefer screens since we're outdoors. (Note - the N82 has video out, which I'm keen to demo on a big screen.)
• Stickers or other goodies (x200)

Venue:

• Is it important to have the Scheduling Rock Out in one place? We should reserve a central venue for introductions and conclusion.
• Preferably cheap (read free), central and covered. (I'll put in a ping to Workspace and see what they'd want to do it again)

Recruitment:

• Write a MobileCamp2.0 introduction letter. (John)
• Contact everyone who showed up for MobileCamp1.0 (John)
• Put word out to all local groups that might be interested. (John)
