Overview
Create a virtual representation of the Makers Local 256 facility, to give other hackerspaces a feel of what our spaces looks like.
-  Crashcart has interacted with Hammer (a TF2 engine) as a potential way to create a 3D model.
- If other hackerspaces used the same 3D engine, we could tie in other capabilities like gaming
 
 - Mudflap from Hackerconsortium suggested Google Sketchup, which would allow us to not only create a 3D model, but place it on google earth.
 
Calendar
- Taking Measurements of shop on 2/27/2010 (leaving off main ML256 calendar)
 - Setting up Hammer Tutorial meeting about a week later (TBD?)
 
Materials
- Hammer (TF2 Engine)
 
Measurements
- If we could find a way to use it, Mudflap left a copy of a 3D model of our hackerspace with strages. Depending on the availability of software, it may be easier to measure the shop by hand

Project Byproducts
- Crashcart had a great idea for ML256 hosting a Hammer workshop. If people were into it, we could even break the shop into sections to be created as part of the workshop
