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:

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.
