A reminder of our next meeting

Hackspace Community and Social Meeting

7pm - 9:30pm Tue 7th May, Marino room, Fulton House, Swansea University.

Following the previous technical meeting this is a more socially
inclined meeting, a chance to get to know your fellow hackspacers,
discuss plans, ideas, and maybe even get some hands on experience.


The aim of this meeting is to try and build our community some more, and
to discuss any new ideas or developments towards growing it, and to
plans for a physical space. So part of our evening will be an open
discussion, akin to our first meeting to discuss these items, and then
the rest should be informal chat and activities.

If anyone has any projects they are working on, and want to show them
off, or ask for help/advice, or any other items they think will interest
the group then please bring them along.

I am putting this out again as a reminder.
Also my apologies if I don't make it. I have something very very 
important to do and may be late.

All of those are exactly the kinds of things I can see myself using... but
I have no use for them right now, so I can't justify taking them.
I'll happily have them though if no-one else wants them :)

At the last meeting it was proposed that the next social meeting should
be at a restaurant. The proposed venue was Cosmo on Castle Street. 

We are likely to need to know numbers if we are to place a reservation,
and i have forgotten who it was that agreed to make the booking ?

I said I would do it, but I need to know numbers.

We're going out for a *meal this Monday, the 3rd*.  Can everyone who wants
to come please *let me know by Friday* evening, so that I can book the
table?

Thanks,
Tom L.

Subject: [Swansea Hackspace] New blog series on making a makerspace
Message-ID: <A5B1ADB2-D006-4A5A-8CF0-A8E972F172A4@gmail.com>

Hi there! :)

MAKE has launched a blog series on building a makerspace by the founder of Artisan's Asylum.

The first post addresses the differences between 'n hackerspace/makerspace/Fablab/Techshop:
http://blog.makezine.com/2013/05/22/the-difference-between-hackerspaces-makerspaces-techshops-and-fablabs/

The second post focuses on acquiring insurance for a makerspace:
http://blog.makezine.com/2013/05/23/making-makerspaces-acquiring-insurance/

Of course the posts are US-centric, but I think there is a lot to learn from them.

Cheers,
Gerrit
