Interesting, I'd be up for getting a nottingham space going, have a venue that I can use, just need some mega nurds now, to create skynet out of a dustbin lid, and old tv set...
I look forward to hearing from you soon. Looks cool. --- On Wed, 8/4/09, John¹ <[email protected]> wrote: From: John¹ <[email protected]> Subject: [dundee] More Hackspace To: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Date: Wednesday, 8 April, 2009, 6:17 PM The following may be of some interest, don't let those down south have all the fun! More Hackspace April 2nd, 2009 Below is the text of an e-mail I’m sending to various groups with which I’m involved. Please feel free to copy & re-post, Dig/Reddit/social bookmark, Tweet it, link to it at http://www.goodgnus.org/2009/04/more-hackspace/ or just talk about it to anyone who might be interested in joining in the hackspace fun :-) Hackspace - a place for hacking. Playful invention with hardware, from Arduino to 3D printers. As one of the hackspaces puts it: “We’re looking to create a hackerspace where anyone interested in technology, or digital or electronic art can meet, socialise and collaborate.” There are hackspaces all over the world [1], and now the UK. A new group [2] is trying to set up hackspaces in London [3] & Birmingham [4]. Why not the North West you ask? Well, I asked anyway ;) - so now we have a NW group - come and join the mailing list [5]. Where? Members of Liverpool LUG have expressed an interest, and want to tie it in with planned workshops & the local arduino community. In Manchester the local coworking group are interested in sharing the space. In Stockport we’re looking at a storey of a nice mill building [6], and hoping to find a community of people to join in. In Bangor there’s a social enterprise start-up that would integrate very well with the space. Join in If you’re in N Wales or NW England, and interested in creative, fun (or profitable) things to do with computers, or would like to link such things with social action, perhaps, join the list. These things will only work with *people* - I’m committing a little time to help get these off the ground, but it’ll only work if we all muck in. What next? If you just want to follow what’s happening follow us on Twitter [7], sign up & lurk on the Google Group, or wait until we set up an [announce] mailing list.
