Back to crowd funding: Ouya, open game console project funded 904%

Hello Meetup friends,

We will be at Sudwerk this coming Tuesday with a pitcher of cold beer and one of diet coke. Come join us :) Sorry for the very short notice, a lot of us seem to have busy summers.

I am still amazed by crowd funding, that would be an interesting topic to me. I am particularly interested by this project:

Last time we talked about Kickstarter we also explored some ideas about payment through mobile devices. In the mean time I got my Square device for accepting credit cards and activated Starbucks payment so I can share some more thoughts about that. Those two companies announced joint future plans:

BYOI (bring your own ideas) to bounce off the group members.
