[HacktionLab] Job Opportunities! Help needed with this year's HacktionLab

[Mike Harris]

Hi ProTag,

Nice one, be great to see you there, and what a lot of useful stuff you
seem to be able to do and bring.  That's great.

It all seems to be somewhere twixt site and facilities by my reckoning,
so I've added you to the table (in brackets as you're still tentative :))

A 12 volt workshop would be a great thing I reckon, if we can pull a few
people together with some experience in the area, I think we could have
a really rewarding session.....

Cheers,

Mike.
