If anyone from the list wants to visit the Big Heavy World office to
figure if it's appropriate, you'd be welcome. I'm there Wednesday
nights, 7-9pm. If we're talking about non-destructive hacking, it'd be
yours. I love the work that you do.

easier to use than anything Win/Mac has. So a space would be great
to introduce everyone to FLOSS.

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 LOVE this idea... 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 :)
