Hackspace - a place for hacking. Playful invention with hardware, from<br>
Arduino to 3D printers. As one of the hackspaces puts it: "We're looking<br>
to create a hackerspace where anyone interested in technology, or<br>
digital or electronic art can meet, socialise and collaborate."<br>
<br>
There are hackspaces all over the world [1], and now the UK. A new group<br>
[2] is trying to set up hackspaces in London [3] & Birmingham [4].<br>
<br>
Why not the North West you ask? Well, I asked anyway ;) - so now we have<br>
a NW group - come and join the mailing list [5].<br>
<br>
WHERE?<br>
Members of Liverpool LUG have expressed an interest, and want to tie it<br>
in with planned workshops & the local arduino community. In Manchester<br>
the local coworking group are interested in sharing the space. In<br>
Stockport we're looking at a storey of a nice mill building [6], and<br>
hoping to find a community of people to join in. In Bangor there's a<br>
social enterprise start-up that would integrate very well with the<br>
space.<br>
<br>
JOIN IN<br>
If you're in N Wales or NW England, and interested in creative, fun (or<br>
profitable) things to do with computers, or would like to link such<br>
things with social action, perhaps, join the list. These things will<br>
only work with *people* - I'm committing a little time to help get these<br>
off the ground, but it'll only work if we all muck in.<br>
<br>
WHAT NEXT?<br>
If you just want to follow what's happening follow us on Twitter [7],<br>
sign up & lurk on the Google Group, or wait until we set up an<br>
[announce] mailing list.<br>
