* A PBS overview of Maker Faire was shared (http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/science/jan-june11/makerfaire_06-29.html), with participants discussing their involvement in the Detroit Maker Faire and plans to connect with the RepRap Michigan group.

* The channel had a brief discussion about the Foresight Conference, though it appears no participants had attended or were ready to share insights from it.

* The conversation touched on regional maker communities and the importance of connecting with local technology groups, particularly those involved in 3D printing (RepRap).
