This sounds like a great idea Mick, thanks for sorting this.  Yes we
have some funds available in the HacktionLab pot.  Can you get a quote
of how many and how much? 

I'm also planning to get some flyers printed to hand out at the Movement
Support Gathering and the Anarchist Bookfair.  As I just spoke to you
briefly about on the phone the main idea is to get the word out about
BarnCamp 2013 sooner rather than later this year.  I propose the flyers
have BarnCamp on one side and Tech Tools for Activism on the other.
