Plastics industry people

It seems hard for me to ignore that Texas seems to be a world leader in plastics industry... and maybe we need to be recruiting some engineers to get involved in RepRap (on their own personal time).

Hey, I live in college station and work at tamu. I'll see if I can find any common contacts over there.

I've started pushing the reprap idea in the Moon Society. I recommend that your group present the idea at a meeting of the Houston Chapter.

"The Houston Chapter will host its next meeting in the meeting room at the Freeman Branch Library in Clear Lake (Note: New location!) on Monday, July 28, 2008. The room is booked beginning at 6:30 p.m.; meeting begins at 7:00 p.m. and will conclude by 8:45 p.m. (when the library closes). All members, guests, and interested visitors are welcome to attend. Expect to see a report from members attending ISDC 2008 in Washington DC and some lively discussion afterwards."

Future chapter meetings and directions will be listed at the following site as they are scheduled.

I recommend you talk to Vik Olliver as he can help you immensely with talking points. Hopefully this will snag you additional members.
