* We need a con kit for future promotions. We should try to do a panel showing off our gadgets and explaining the process used to make them.
* Dan H and I have been discussing possible kits that would make a decent fundraising opportunity.

Midsouth Makers will be hosting a table at MidSouthCon, the region's oldest general science fiction/fantasy convention. The fan tables are on the 2nd floor, right in the middle of 75% of programming and gaming areas, so we will see high traffic at times.

== Overview ==
:''From the con's [http://www.midsouthcon.org/aboutus website]''
MidSouthCon has grown over the years to become the Mid-South's premier multi-genre convention. It covers a diverse section of fanish culture that includes Science Fiction, Fantasy, Science, Comics, Horror, Education, Costuming, Anime, and Gaming. There are over 100 authors, editors, publishers, scientists, artists and other guests, with an annual attendance of approximately 1200 people.

On average there is over 140 hours of programing in multiple tracks during the Con (and that's not counting the Video Room, Anime Room or gaming tracks). Masquerade, Writers' Conference, Readings, Autographs, Dealers' Room, SCA demonstrations and events, Board Games, Role-playing and LARP games, CCG tournaments, and lots of other fun stuff.

== Who's Attending ==
* Danny
* Daniel
* Jim H.
* Mike D.

== Ideas ==
[[Image:MidSouth Con Floor Plan.jpg|thumb|left|The green marking is roughly where our table will be]]
* '''Table''' — one is provided for us it seems
* '''Banner''' — some sort of banner to put across the front of the table
* '''T-shirts''' — some common t-shirts that we can all wear
* '''Handouts''' - some sort of smaller, one sheet, pamphlet type of handout to give to people as a means of advertising ourselves.
* '''Projects''' - various projects, all member made, to show off the sort of things we want to do.

Jim H: /* Random Musings */

== Random Musings ==
I want to do something like this but in a more controlled, sealed environment, specifically a collection of large sealed test tubes populated with brine shrimp and algae.
:Well I would say that the first thing you'll want to consider is what are you needing to control? Right now I haven't built any really "sealed" enclosure or anything like that since I'm still just developing it.

::Several things could go into the "output" systems. air pumps, water pumps and lights for instance. Input would come from PH, salinity and temperature sensing.

== About Me ==

Born and raised in Las Vegas, I have been here in the mid south for almost 4 years. My career brought me and my family here. Various interests brought me to become involved arly with Midsouth Makers, the primary one being that we need a place here in Memphis to come together and share resources and knowledge.

I work in IT, specifically networking. I code when needed, know my way around Linux and fiddle with electronics in my spare time. Woodworking, painting, metalwork and other activities take up the rest of my free time.
