Thanks to AEDC and the Davinci Center for doing all the work to putting together last night's event. I had a great time hearing about the potential of the space and the need for a group of hackers to organize and fill the space. How often do hacker's get asked to come in and use a space? I'm looking forward to hearing what it'll take to solve the liability problem, but I'm also excited that there are things that can be done before that.<div>
<br>My favorite part of the night was at the end, when I got to ask a couple guys "What's in the box?". It sure beat looking at your websites. It is much easier to ask questions in person. :-) I heard some cool projects mentioned by several of you in your introductions also that I hope to learn more about.</div>
<div><br>I think it would be great to get another meeting together focused around the show & tell model we were talking about. It would also help get to know each other and build the community for the larger purpose of getting the hackerspace functional.</div>
<div><br>Apparently, we have a place we can host it. Sounds like all we really need is people to share stuff, an audience and some heat. The stuff to share and the audience are clearly already available. I bet AEDC can deal with the heat issue for us.</div>
<div><br></div><div>As far as format, should it be more formal with a series of 5-10 minute talks people sign up for or should it be bring whatever and set it up at a table and we'll wander around chatting with each other?</div>
