What is the Propaganda Team?
The Seattlewireless.net Propaganda Team currently consists of KenCaruso and MattWestervelt. Our main function is to spread the word about the Seattlewireless.net project.
If you are a graphic artist and want to help us with brochures, stickers, posters, tshirts or anything else for that matter, let us know!
Press Inquiries
Press inquiries should be directed to MattWestervelt and KenCaruso
What have we done so far?
I have put up the latest incarnation of the SWN brochure. http://www.ohern.net/files/brochure.pdf (link may be broken) It incorporates many of the changes that were suggested from the last version with some others too. Let me know if there are any changes I should make. -TomO'Hern
We have spoken to reporters about the project, spoken at meetings, and printed up stickers and flyers. We're also working on putting together a brochure to make public education fun, easy, and effective. If you're just dying for Seattle Wireless merchandise, we do have a CafePress store set up which sells t-shirts and mugs. I highly recommend the mugs.
(Those attending Seattle Wireless meetings should feel free to purchase T-shirts and wear them to the meetings to show their support for the cause.)
Go buy schwag at the Cafepress Store!

Met lots of suits. Working on a Trip Report, but am somewhat wiped from the trip. (note from d4s: the suits loved Matt. Loved him.)
