Mat’s ideas for retail

• Kickstarters are hard to manage, so let’s do an independant push via store for holiday. Look at making a retail store on a breakout page that is slightly separated by Breadpig. Perhaps work with different fulfillment company, especially T-Shirts. *Grassroots Mapping Forum Subscriptions-- 250 members in order to do bulk mailing. Issue with Amplifier, 1000 makes it sustainable. fulfillment -- their link to subscribe wasn’t working for weeks.
• organizers issue:
  • ideas: can we get CIEL to talk about legal outcomes?
  • contact organizers...
• Membership

Thermal Flashlight potential Kickstarter (generally Kickstarters help us make 1/3rd “public support”, but how not to burn out kickstarter as a platform....)

• seasonally appropriate
• grow the community
• get us to solidify a kit

• general fundraising

• Thermal flashlight

• NIRKIT/NIRCAM
• Balloon and kite kits v. 2.0 + Oil Spill Response kit
