I’m<br><br>involved.

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 digital <br>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 a <br>NW group - come and join the mailing list [5].<br>Where?<br><br>Members of Liverpool LUG have expressed an interest, and want to tie it in <br>with planned
workshops & the local arduino community. In Manchester the <br>local coworking group are interested in sharing the space. In Stockport <br>we’re looking at a storey of a nice mill building [6], and hoping to find <br>a community of people to join in. In Bangor there’s a social enterprise <br>start-up that would integrate very well with the space.<br>Join in<br><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 things <br>with social action, perhaps, join the list. These things will only work <br>with *people* - I’m committing a little time to help get these off the <br>ground, but it’ll only work if we all muck in.<br>What next?<br><br>If you just want to follow what’s happening follow us on Twitter [7], sign <br>up & lurk on the Google Group, or wait until we set up an [announce] <br>mailing list.<br><br> [1]
