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 that focus a bit more on Culture. The constraint here may be to open up to other creative areas besides robotics and hardware. E.g. software, art, computer use/training, and creativity of all other sorts.
Approaches
- Build a community and group of members, grow our ideas together, and open a space over the next 1-2 years.
- Create online presence and communications infrastructure
- Hold weekly or bi-weekly meeting, salon, or meetup.
- Collect membership dues to start building a budget.
- Apply to relevant grants, fellowships, and various funding opportunities.
