I'd love a space around Burlington as well...I'm disabled so it's kinda hard to get out of chittenden county. I've been a big open source preacher. Some of my friends are blind and have found Orca easier to use than anything Win/Mac has. So a space would be great to introduce everyone to FLOSS.

To: [email protected] Date: Monday, March 30, 2009, 5:15 PM I also think is a great idea; who knows what techie breakthrough may come of it. Also, a ready supply of middle and high school students who would welcome such an enterprise. Maybe there would also be some way of working the Onion River Exchange into the mix.

I'd be very interested in seeing if there's enough interest/ energy to pull something like it off in the Montpelier area (Burlington is just too far away from where we are...). There are available spaces that could be used for this right in town. I suspect that coffeeshops and WIFI cafes are serving as HackerSpaces in most areas though, because most hacker types are going to want a ready supply of: Pizza Coffee Soda Beer (for celebrating those little victories) So those should be close by, or even in the building as well. Hrm... I've pretty well described the antithesis of our office there, with the exception of readily available, really good coffee :) Rubin Bennett rbtechnologies, LLC (802)223-4448 [email protected] http://thatitguy.com Think for yourselves and let others enjoy their privilege to do the same --Voltaire
