Welcome to the Bloomington Hacker Space initiative!
This is a starting point for us to organize ourselves and find a space we can all use. Be sure to sign up to the discussion list to keep up with the latest developments.
What is a hacker space?
It's a physical location where people can share resources for their own creative pursuits. It also serves as a safe place for projects and learning. In urban locations it can often be hard to find places to weld/build/make noise and keep projects on-going without having to tear down and put-up your work each evening. With a hacker space people can work on their projects any time of the day or night and not worry about annoying their neighbors or spouses.
What needs to be done yet?
Fortunately there is already a great initiative started to assist people launch their own hacker spaces:
We have a page with all of our Communication outlets (Twitter, Facebook, ect.) - feel free to join as a friend to any of these and forward them to people that you think may be interested.
Check out the Todo list to see the latest things we need to get done.
