I've decided to at least put the word out with my contacts to see if there is a known space.... for free or for rent with someone who has the resources and mindset to see this as worthwhile...
I know that in the Calgary market that 'free' sounds like 'I'm nuts', but you never know. Nothing ventured nothing gained. -Andrew -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Carlson Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 1:00 PM To: CLUG General Subject: Re: [clug-talk] hacker spaces On 9/17/08, Andrew Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have been seeing a lot of buzz lately about Hacker spaces. > > Seems to me it represents an opportunity to build and interact with a larger > more diverse community of 'like-minded' but not necessarily > 'like-disciplined' individuals. > > The idea really interests me.

I don't have the space for something like this, but toyed with the idea of getting a few people together to rent some place cheap but big enough to house some tools, benches, and enough floor space to play around with. I didn't know nearly enough people who would be interested at the time, and there were a lot of things to think about (insurance, access, settling conflicts, dues, rent, location, maintaining enough members... to name a few.) Of course, this is not the only option, just the only one I could think of at the time. -Mark C. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by the Cistra MailScanner and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
