Post:Omaha Hackerspace, Part II

From Fozzee.net

If you've been reading here very long, you'll know that I do most of the projects on this site in the back of my two-car garage, which, among other things, contains two cars full-time. I've always envied the shared workspaces of larger cities, where makers of all sorts come together to collaborate, and support each other, in a space that contains no cars :) I've written about this a few times, and have a few local friends interested.

On Friday, I got an email from a reader who is also interested. This brings the potential "headcount" to 4. It seems to me that the required headcount is a function of the total costs. What I envision starting with is a group of people renting a shared space to work; The specifics depend on the preferences of the people involved.

I think the next step in making this go is to continue to create a "mailing list" of interested individuals and start discussing everyone's wants, needs and input. To that end, if you're interested in helping start a Hackerspace / Makerspace / Collaborative Shop in Omaha, Let me know!

Oh, on an aside: My wife points out this from today's paper: "CAMP Offers More than Space" Somewhat in the same vein, but aimed at micro-biz, rather than hobbyist makers...
