took some time, as I had to clean up the wiki after a serious spambot attack. But the maui makers entry is done now. And the wiki is clean again.
I locked down the machine. Only registered users are able to change and create pages now. If anyone wants to do so, please write to me at off...@hackbus.info to get an account, if you did not create one so far. Just send me the e-mail address (and optional a name) that you intend to use, I send the password back. best, fra ----- Original Message ----- From: "Franz Ablinger" <f...@monochrom.at> To: HACKBUS@LISTS.MONOCHROM.AT Sent: Monday, 12 September, 2011 9:07:57 AM Subject: Re: [hackbus] HackBus for Maui Aloha Jerry and Servus from Vienna! Great work you are doing in the middle of the Pacific! I'll create a hackbus entry for your bus, just in case. best, fra ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerry Isdale" <je...@mauimakers.com> To: HACKBUS@LISTS.MONOCHROM.AT Sent: Monday, 12 September, 2011 12:32:10 AM Subject: [hackbus] HackBus for Maui Aloha HackBus Just wanted to take a moment and introduce myself. I'm the founder of Maui Makers out in middle of the Pacific. Our island has a small and fairly dispersed population (~150,000 full time, lots more 'visitors', 48miles long). Our space is a 40' container semi-permenently located in an equally inconvenient location (near the Sugar Mill in central Maui). I've been following various mobile maker spaces for a while and would really love to build one. Then we can take our making activities to Hana (secluded east side paradise), Ka'anapali/Lahaina/Napili on west end, etc. It takes several hours to drive to Hana, and an hour or so to Kaanapli from central valley. One project I've seen semi-locally is the Robotics Alliance van used for FIRST Robotics Competitions in Jan-March. Alas it reportedly is unused the rest of the year. My pics of it from last year are at http://www.flickr.com/photos/mauimakers/sets/72157627648217174/ Its mostly a metal shop on wheels, intended to setup with local power supply and spread outside for some setup (welding, chop saw, etc). I'm hoping to do something similar with more of an electronics focus, but maybe with some desktop cnc/laser capabilities.
