MAKE is a quarterly, project-based magazine, it's also a physical event series called "Maker Faire" a very popular website, a book series, a Maker Shed, a television show - but most of all, it's a community of Makers who share their projects and skills. MAKE is what-you-MAKE-it. It's a growing DIY movement of people who look at things a little differently and who just might spark the next generation of scientists, engineers and makers.

Our mission at Maker Media, a division of O'Reilly Media and home to MAKE Magazine, Maker Faire and the host of other inspirational and instructional Maker Media brands, is to unite, inspire, inform, and entertain a growing community of highly imaginative and resourceful people who undertake amazing projects in their backyards, basements, and garages. We call these people "Makers."

Does anyone have an official source for this date? I can't find a reference to the 2009 maker faire on the web site.

@mpechner, my source was the organizers in person as of 5/4/08; in the past, they let me know of changes, but I'll ping 'em to make sure. UPDATE: Yep, as of 1/4/09 confirmed dates via website. Note that Memorial Day is the Monday BEFORE the event.
