Nick, I think this is a good idea. I would like to know what projects people are working on and what the benefit of having a lab space would be to them. I think that a lab space is great for encouraging people to work on new things, but I wonder if people have stuff ready to go and are just waiting for the space/resources [...] I am leaving my house at 5:00 and meeting Josh at 5:20. If anyone wants a ride from the Burlington area, please try to respond before 5:00, as the car I take will depend on how many people need a lift Thanks, Kevin
