Hello!

We are thinking of creating a digital display/signage system for TechHub which will consist of:

- Cheap monitors dotted about the building, mounted on walls (lobby area to begin with)
- single board computers with wifi 
- webservers running from some kind of central system that can be updated

Would the hackspace be interested in helping us build it as a project? It would be useful to display stuff when events are running directing people etc. 

The rough spec would be:
- display tenants rooms floors
- display events
- lobby, possibly per floor - if the lobby works out
- system really easy to update with little or no technical skill
- secure (obviously)
- cheap!

We were going to buy some signs and stuff, but I thought that was a little silly for a "tech" hub.

It is a pretty urgent requirement, so...any thoughts?
