==Attending==
* Matt
* Philip
* David

==Notes==
* Philip has interest in hardware, embedded computing systems, sensors, etc. 
* Would be great to have a wheelchair accessible space.
* Locations near BART or other transport would be good.
* Fundraising thoughts
** Possibilities for fundraising events, e.g. lock-picking school.
** Some grants may be available based on workshops/projects/events.
* Goal thoughts
** Some commitment to public access is a common goal so far.
** Great to create a supportive community for learning and education.
** Re-use, finding use for old technology that is often assumed to be trash. 
** Creating a coherent discussion for goals may be difficult on wiki and over email. 
*** Ask hackerspaces.org folks about [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:LiquidThreads Liquid threads extension] for MediaWiki.
** Might be a need for a "something else" space where folks can work on projects they are passionate about rather than the things they have to work on, say for livelihood.
*** Ultimate dream here may be to develop a livelihood based on this work.
* Looking at a 6 month time-frame for opening a space, with at least a 1 year commitment (an additional 6 months).
