==Notes==<br />
===Agenda===<br />
#What to call non-technical knowledge?<br />
#*Ideas: human sciences, humanities, arts and crafts (but in a nice way), squshy stuff, soft science, inter-modal, interdisciplinary, inter-.<br />
#Techliminal, options / relationship<br />
#*TL likes what we're doing<br />
#*Offered to host our meetup in their space on 14th and Harrison in Downtown Oakland.<br />
#*Have potential collaboration opportunities, especially in sharing/dividing a space (even one next door to TL's current location). <br />
#The Space / Possible Living Space<br />
#*Advice from Jenny, a lot goes into this, see notes below<br />
#Kickstarter campaign<br />
#Future meetings (taking no breaks, straight through the holidays!)<br />
===General Notes===<br />
*Jenny attempted a West Oakland hackerspace that would include a live-in component this summer. Unfortunately, they came into trouble getting $ (don't we all?) and weren't able to get far off the ground.<br />
**She's going to pass on all the knowledge and research they did to Sudo Room, and hopefully the momentum can live on (merge branches?).<br />
*Marc has a Shipping Container with a lab inside in Boston? Or something like that?<br />
*Has anybody heard about this [http://www.nimbyspace.org/ NIMBY space] in Oakland? Need to learn more...<br />
*Jenny and Michael are both anthropologists! Funny how much there is to learn about this hackerspace culture stuff, and talk about an ethnography ;)<br />
*Working with Techliminal could be cool, definitely want to stay strong with the grassroots momentum and opportunities there.<br />
**Folks generally receptive to the idea of perhaps forming a relationship with a group like TL to focus "start-up" or business ideas into a more appropriate venue, but to not lose the valuable connection and participation from them!<br />
*It will be really valuable if we take stock in our individual skills, proficiencies, and connections.<br />
**This comment from Doug led to a great harmony with an earlier comment from Marc: we should leverage our website and blog better to show the projects individuals in the group are working on, plus what we do as a group, and lastly to identify things we can convert into promotion, fund-raising projects, etc. <br />
*Membership could be a good kickstarter bonus.<br />
**Biocurious gave lifetime memberships for sizable donations.<br />
**Others like Michael's friend's radio show got a lot with little work but a great idea.<br />
*Another bonus could be based on Jenny's USB drive with Free Software on them for different purposes (think of all the flavors).<br />
*Marc is working on "sensor throwies" like LED throwies but with sensors for measuring stuff (e.g. moisture, heat, light, etc). <br />
**Good to blog about and potentially offer as a prize for kicstarter.<br />
*Holiday Party at Techliminal was AWESOME! Had a lot of fun, thanks TL!<br />
<br />
==Action Items==<br />
*Follow-up with Jenny about West Oakland live-in hackerspace resources.<br />
**Also touch base with a couple of her contacts from that.<br />
*Check out Michael's suggestions: Genspace in NY, radio kickstarter success, and this group in Indonesia who is reverse-engineering GMO plants (woahh). <br />
**Especially genspace because their lab is absolutely tiny (space efficiency could be integral for us).<br />
*Need to visit Berkeley Co-working space (Ashby and Shattuck, across from Berkeley Bowl, i.e. +1). <br />
*Follow up with BioCurious and other successful hackerspaces on how they did crowdfunding [implement genetic algorithm].</div>67.164.35.120
