[Finance] Fund raising

[Jeff Cotten]

Makers Local did a pig roast which was a lot of fun, and got us a lot of
exposure to people that aren't typically involved in the hacker\maker
scene.  I really enjoyed it because we made our own rotating spit, which
incorporated welding, motor control, and the science of cooking.  We ended
up building both a pit and solar reflectors to aid in the roasting.

We charged a reasonable fee, and raised a couple hundred dollars this way.
