We need a place where we can go and work on these projects in an environment that stimulates creativity and motivation. The shop will provide a work area, resources, and knowledge to help people with their projects.

Brainstorm!

Possible means of obtaining said shop:

  1. Become a for-profit "professional" Make Shop. See: http://www.techshop.ws/
  2. Become non-profit organization and find projects that are a good source of income to pay for the shop.
  3. Start for-profit "cover" business that rents out a place, but only uses a small portion of it. The rest is used for the Make Shop.
    1. Coffee shop
    2. CoLo place
      • Rent out bandwidth/serverspace
