[hackerspaces] Want a workshop by Mitch & others this summer?

[William Macfarlane]

Parts and Crafts will be running summer camp in Somerville while
you're in Boston -- maybe you want to come and build something with
some small and awesome children?

Also I've been recently in touch with some folks running a GED
adult-ed program about putting together some of these sorts of
workshops -- if you have time, you and Jimmie would both be great for
helping with this, since you both provide some evidence that you can
actually make a living working in this domain.

cheers,
-Will
