Plan
The plan is separated into the goals (sort of early mission for now), the constraints (more like things to keep in mind), and current approaches.
Goals
- To create a creative community hacker space in the East Bay Area near San Francisco, CA, specifically in Oakland, CA.
- Provide public interfacing and opportunities.
Constraints
- BART train access is a crucial location constraint.
- Areas of preferred location are: Temescal, Downtown, and Lake Merritt areas of Oakland, CA.
- There are some hackerspaces in the East Bay, some of which coincide with Maker Culture, but there are various virtual and software activities. Existent spaces:
- Ace Monster Toys - cool hackerspace with lots of tools and infrastructure. Definitely friends in the East Bay!
- The Crucible
- Ponoko
- Techliminal (co-working space; hosts Make:SF meetups)
Approaches
- Build a community and group of members, grow our ideas together, and open a space over the next 6 mo. - 1 year.
- Create online presence and communications infrastructure
- Hold weekly meetup / salon.
- Collect membership dues to start building a budget.
- Apply to relevant grants, fellowships, and various funding opportunities.
