It’s very sad - I never managed to make a BAMF. Hope something great comes up in its place.

Weirdly I got an email for Atlanta maker faire well after this announcement.

The way I understand it is that there will be no more ‘Flagship’ Maker Faires. That doesn’t mean the ‘mini’ and ‘featured’ Maker Faires are dead, though: the ‘Maker Faire’ trademark is simply licensed out to those organizers.
