Subject: Please join us for a FOCUS GROUP to design Maker Spaces
Greetings,
We invite you to participate in a focus group we are hosting to investigate
maker preferences regarding *Makeropolis*, a two-acre light-industrial,
multi-tenant maker community we are planning for 3250 Hollis in West
Oakland. The meeting will take place on:
· *Tuesday morning, June 11th, from at 10 a.m.*
· *at 612 Howard Street in Suite 100. *
612 Howard <http://lightnergroup.com/612-howard-street-san-francisc> is
just two blocks from the Montgomery BART station and a block from Moscone
Center Garage. We are holding it in this San Francisco building because we
renovated it and believe its architecture inspires creativity.
Heres brief description of what we are calling Makeropolis:
Theres a new industrial revolution in America, with thousands of
micro-manufacturers taking advantage of new technologies to make useful
things. We see an unfulfilled need for clean and bright workspaces,
purpose-built for these neo-industrialists. So we are developing a
multi-tenant light-industrial campus where budding entrepreneurs can
produce great things. Located in northwest Oakland, this two-acre community
combines smaller and larger indoor spaces, access to shared resources, a
relaxing outdoor central park and maker-friendly, on-site management. Our
mission is to enable innovation, craftsmanship and productivity in a clean,
secure and inspirational environment.
We really hope you will join us in this exciting process. If you want to
bring another maker who has interest in helping create this environment,
please invite them and let us know theyre coming.

The questions that come to mind are:
Where is the money for this coming from?
Where does the money from this go?
Will the makers themselves have any ownership of it?
What's the history & reputation of the developer?
Lastly, why not put together an incorporated entity to do this
ourselves? Any such entity starts with a clean slate as far as credit
rating goes. If we can pay rent, we can pay mortgage. And if we do it
right, it could be live/work space of some kind, with individual
apartments and common workspaces and event-spaces.

about this initiative and the people who are doing it).
