[sudo-discuss] Fwd: [hackerspaces] Radio Shack Hackerspace Challenge seeks challenger

[David Rorex]

If you do get selected, the key to winning is not making the best project,
but getting the most people to vote for you. There's no objective judging
process, it's all based on how many people click your name on an online
website voting form. But don't worry, the loser still gets a consolation
prize of a couple hundred dollars radio shack gift card.
