Questions

YBCA Occupy Bay Area Curatorial Team asking if artists want to publish a link associated with their exhibit, which link should I use? http://publiclaboratory.org/wiki/occupy-maps or http://publiclaboratory.org/tool/balloon-mapping or http://publiclaboratory.org/about * Safety of urban mapping? near loss of balloon in providence? Wikipage on Safety: start a safety page * Making Megan a Summer Public Lab Intern in name? Interns concerns 6 points: where can we find this? one point for us--need to prove that interns are being trained, they have to be getting training similar to academic training, needs to be for the intern not for public laboratory
