  • Check out the #MakerParty thread on Twitter for photos, inspiration, and general Maker enthusiasm: https://twitter.com/search?q=%23makerparty&src=typd

SFO Boardroom Display Upgrade

  • To reduce room start-up and shut-down times, bring the conference room up to Mozilla's latest AV standards, and help improve seamless conferencing - the SFO Boardroom displays have been upgraded. Two 90" displays (yes, two 90 inch displays) have been added as a replacement to the single projector w/ drop down screen. Next time you are in SFO, book out the Boardroom and let us know what you think of the upgrade!
