Overview

An attempt to get several hackerspaces in the same place at the same time in an effort to drive collaboration and ingenuity in the community.

Tentative Dates

• Columbus Day Weekend (October 9-11)
  • Phreaknic is also this month and may detract from people wanting to travel twice in a month. --strages 15:59, 17 May 2010 (CDT)
• Veteran's Day weekend (November 13-14)

Needed

• Hotel
  • Needs to be easy to find.
  • Need to have discounted rooms.
  • Last year the Marriott by the Space and Rocket Center was very easy to work with and offered competitive rates.
• Schedule
  • We'll need enough to cover Friday evening and Saturday all day.
  • Barcamp style schedule works so long as you seed it with a couple of talks to get it going.
    • I'd like to see How-to's or DIY tech overviews. --strages 15:59, 17 May 2010 (CDT)
• Volunteers (add your name below)
  • strages
  • omegix
• Once everything is ironed out behind the scenes, we'll post an event on the hackerspaces.org wiki and do announcements.
• Food
  • preferably stuff made at the shop through know how.

Ideas

• Talks, but Ignite style talks. 5 minutes or less. 20:53, 19 May 2010 (CDT)
• Borrow from the tech expo and have technology demonstrations setup from multiple spaces, hopefully. 20:53, 19 May 2010 (CDT)
• A swap meet for trading resources between spaces. 20:53, 19 May 2010 (CDT)
