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.

To create a creative community hacker space in the East Bay Area near San Francisco, CA, specifically in Oakland, CA.
Establishing a platform and space committed to
- Citizen science
- Non-technical and technical knowledge (including transitions and bridges between the two)
- Digital Citizenship
  ...to do something more with technology
- Environmental sustainability
- Education and mentorship
- Community engagement
- Public access

BART train proximity and disability access are crucial location constraints.
Areas of preferred location are: Temescal, Downtown, and Lake Merritt areas of Oakland, CA.
Warehouse spaces versus office spaces.
There are some hackerspaces in the East Bay, some tied to Maker Culture, but there are various virtual and software emphases. 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)

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 Voluntary (membership) Association.
Apply to relevant grants, fellowships, and various funding opportunities.
