==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.
'''''Needs to be Updated'''''
===Goals===
===Goals===
* To create a creative community hacker space in the East Bay Area near San Francisco, CA, specifically in Oakland, CA.
* To found a creative community hacker space in the East Bay, specifically in Oakland, CA.
* Provide public interfacing and opportunities.
* Establish a platform and space committed to:
===Constraints===
** Citizen science
* BART train access is a crucial location constraint.
** Democratic Culture
* Areas of preferred location are: Temescal, Downtown, and Lake Merritt areas of Oakland, CA.
** Access to Knowledge
* There are some hackerspaces in the East Bay that focus a bit more on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maker_culture/|Maker 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.
** Freedom to Connect
** Non-technical (humanities, social science, the environment/ environmental justice, arts, crafts, all the squishy stuff!) and technical knowledge (including transitions and bridges between the two) --
*** the useful arts & sciences?
*** information, data, knowledge, wisdom?
*** memes, genes, bits, and atoms?
*** Non-technical knowledge includes but is not limited to expertise in fields or disciplines that can be largely independent of technology. Also includes non-academic realms of knowledge.
** Digital/Online Citizenship - Netizen Rights & Freedoms
** Doing stuff to make our community openly accessible.
**: ''...to do something more with digital and network technology''
** Environmental sustainability
** Education and mentorship
** Community engagement
** Public access
* To become a center for active hacking projects but also a destination where speakers on the areas listed above may be hosted, and where folks may go for skill sharing classes
