[hide]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.
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)
- Maybe presentations on the different spaces with pictures and video. 20:56, 19 May 2010 (CDT)
- A swap meet for trading resources between spaces. 20:53, 19 May 2010 (CDT)
