[wplug-board] Event scope

[Justin Smith]

That's the way I'm leaning now. Roland contacted me again to clarify that he would /not/ be covering other FOSS multimedia programs, so I think adding 3d printing to the talk would be acceptable. We'd have more attendees - some from PF/PCA, some from Google - and yet another selling point. 

Roland and some of his co-workers pooled their funds to buy a Makerbot, and he's willing to bring in samples of stuff he's made.
