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)
  • 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.
