 Some things, like food, we may have to get everybody to kick in some money unless we find somebody who's willing to sponsor.

 The event is completely free, but we'll be happily accepting donations (and new members). If you can afford $5, $10, $20, or more, you can help support the cause! We take cash, cheque (made out to SkullSpace Winnipeg Inc), and paypal.

 We're hosting a few talks during the day. These will be short and informal (except for Mark's, which will be interactive and breaks new ground).
-If anybody is interested in doing talks for April's hack-a-thon, please let me know (info @ skullspace.ca) as early as possible and we'll add you to the list!

 For this month, these talks are very basic. We're hoping to ramp up and do some more "advanced" talks in later months!

	The other part of our goal is to get the word out to more people. Bring friends, co-workers, and anybody who might be interested. They don't have to come all day, just long enough to get some free stickers!		The other part of our goal is to get the word out to more people.

		+	==Raw feedback==
		+	1. What did you like about the hack-a-thon?
		+	* The hacking.
		+	* sharing of ideas
		+	* Socializing with others, lockpicking, and 007.
		+	* Meeting new people, having like-minded discussions, the presentations, fun events - all around awesome time
		+	* Haven't been yet.
		+	* The people - social aspect - meeting people interested in skullspace - hearing about project ideas, hanging out for an extended period - playing video games - exchanging files with mak - listening to some talks
		+	* The (short) presentations
		+	* party atmostphere
		+
		+
		+	2. What did you dislike about the hack-a-thon?
		+	* The DJ stuff.
		+	* flaky internet (and at an ISP, no less!)
		+	* A little loud with the music
		+	* Internet connection needs to be unlame.
		+	* Haven't been yet.
		+	* Not enough proper seating/table area.
		+	* I found the music was too loud for the type of event. Only a minority of people were interested in the music, yet everyone was forced to be subjected to the high volume, making it harder to talk/listen. Lack of introduction or organisation to make new-comers feel more welcome/comfortable.
		+	* the (long) presentation
		+	* party atmostphere hard to hack in
		+
		+	3. What would you change for future events?
		+	* More hacking.
		+	* large(r) community projects
		+	* No music while people are doing talks
		+	* people need name tags!
		+	* Haven't been yet.
		+	* More cowbell
		+	* Have our own space! :)
		+	* More small talks; more demonstrations or workshops
		+	* two parallel spaces, one quiet, one party, party
		+
		+	4. Would you be interested in more workshop type events (like Mark's talk on the database software) on different topics? Can you suggest a topic you'd like to hear about?
		+	* Yes. Reverse engineering. Protocols. Embedded Systems.
		+	* yes
		+	* Yes, interested. I like the arduino ideas floating around.
		+	* Arduino, programming for Arduino, electrical engineering/circuit board making tips
		+	* yes, I want physical things I can do participate in. Things like microcontrollers or how to build a catapult, how to lock pick, etc.
		+	* I would be interested in a hands on work shop. Perhaps we each pay 5-20 bucks for some hardware and learn how to build/solder it up as a group.
		+	* yes, but they need to be better organized if they are complex.
		+
		+	5. What were your thoughts on the talks? Would you suggest more or less? More advance or more basic? More technical or more general?
		+	* Burke's was awesome.
		+	* I think having a good mix of advanced and basic, technical and general talks is important.
		+	* More workshop-esque
		+	* Talks have been very good, more advanced would be nice.
		+	* Good talks, but have two areas. One for people who are interested and care in the talk, and one for people to just chill and work on whatever.
		+	* Having a wide range is good. Maybe asking how much interest there is in a topic beforehand would be good. Have a quick anonymous poll of "I want to hear that", "I'm not interested". We could have smaller scale tutorials for talks that have less interest.
		+	* 20min talks (small) seem to work really good. The mix of general and technical needs to be balanced
		+
		+	6. What did you think of the location? Any changes you'd recommend to how we set it up, etc?
		+	* RRC sucks. LES.net was okay.
		+	* more accessible power outlets and seating
		+	* Great location
		+	* Location was awesome, would love to go there again.
		+	* les.net was awesome. This would make the perfect skullspace imo.
		+	* LES.net space was very nice. Needs more seating, a table or two for laptops small wired network.
		+	* Good. Create a more central presentation space
		+	* Super great
		+
		+	7. Anything else you want to say?
		+	* More group projects.
		+	* Ron's awesome
		+	* Looking forward to the next one! -Justin
		+	* pikachu
		+	* dude.
