RE: [WISPA] Funding help - The Challenge
Hey, it's only generous if someone sends Mac some funds or gear.

RE: [WISPA] Funding help - The Challenge
In addition to what's below, fwiw: 1) I'd like to challenge and/or incent any supplier to send gear to Mac in return for anything I can provide in equal value of exposure or additional support during the show... space, ads, whatever makes sense to get that pallet of equipment off the dock on the road to NOLA. I've been talking to a few of the more conspicuously absent names for that donation list about this already, but haven't had any firm takers so far.
