Tell the story of the beginning of the hackerspace. How did you come up with the idea? How did you choose the name of your hackerspace? What was your original vision?
FIXME
What are some obstacles that you had to overcome at the beginning of your hackerspace when you were just getting started?
FIXME
Describe your hackerspace. What do visitors to the space notice that is special about the space? What kind of tools and resources do you have at the space?
FIXME
How often do you meet? What happens at these meetings?
We're open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for regulars (with a key). While we're open to new people whenever some regular is in the space, new people are encouraged to stop by on Sunday evenings because it's The Tradition. Irregulary lectures, workshops, parties and other gatherings occur.
Describe a disaster that occurred in your hackerspace. (flood, lightning, accident or some such thing)
Once (ok, twice) a member of the space left the windows open, during an evil German storm. The mac filled with water, and during a reconnaissance mission it switched on due to the special electrical characteristics of water. This caused the death of much innocent hardware. And the carpet was gone. Now, Entropians only refer to this disaster as "The Incident". Now we are deploying N.E.R.D.S, an No-Incident Early Reponse Detection System.
What are some things that have come out of your hackerspace that you are most proud of?
Was there anything that you did that was essential to the start of your hackerspace? Do you have any advice for people who might be thinking of starting a hackerspace?
