Hi, There's been a lot of discussion about a London Hacklab forming, and us in Birmingham are jumping on the bandwagon. We'd like to get as many people together to talk about what we could do, to bring a hacklab/openspace/hackerspace to Birmingham.
"A hackerspace or hackspace (from Hacker and Space) is a real (as opposed to virtual) place where people with common interests, usually in science, technology, or digital or electronic art can meet, socialise and collaborate." - WIkipedia This will hopefully be a place where people can explore technology, blog about their surroundings, meet and organise themselves. Even though it is usually geek based, more interesting, and innovative things will happen the more people use it. We have the pre-requisite mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/birmingham-hack-space/ We are probably going to be meeing at The Bull in Birmingham City centre. (Geek friendly, with wifi) http://openstreetmap.org/?mlat=52.486434&mlon=-1.895119&zoom=15&layers=B000FTF Although this maybe subject to change, so sign up to the mailing list to keep up to date. To arrange a time a meet-o-matic form has been set up. http://beta.meetomatic.com/respond.php?id=7AGJF0 So please put in the times that are best for you. PM = 6pm-10pm. Please tell your friends about this, blog about it, twitter it. At the moment we just need to build up interest and people that want to actually *do* something. The more people we tell, the more likely we are to find those that we need to get his off the ground.
