On: Maker Faire halts operations and lays off all staff

[woah]

I don't know, but I assume it was a matter of quality control and branding. "Maker Faire" (with the weird olde english "e" at the end) is distinctive enough that it's obvious that it was chosen to be a trademark and represent an event sanctioned by the company.

'Faire' is simply French for 'to do' or... 'to make'.
