It would be really great to see the group diversify into more artistic<br>
areas; textiles, craft, jewellery, etc<br>

My fear is that just now (more specifically: before we have a space)<br>
that if we attract the attention of these people, they will look and see<br>
that we don't have anything to offer them right now, and never come<br>
back.<br>
<br>
Once we have a space, and we can offer more* to people, i will be<br>
amongst the first to push us to advertise far and wide and to be as<br>
inclusive of other creative groups as possible.<br>
<br>
* at the minimum a clear table and some space to work can be invaluable<br>
to so many textile and other projects<br>

<br>
Well this is why I'm trying to make it clear in the letter that we don't<br>
have a hackspace yet and that we're focusing on building a community<br>
rather than an us-and-them situation where one group has to provide a<br>
service to others.<br>
<br>
If they're only interested in the physical hackspace then they can maybe<br>
watch for future developments and then get on board later but if they<br>
value interacting with people with common interests then we already have<br>
something to offer them.<br>
<br>

I think it's worth being inclusive from the outset before we start to<br>
look like just an electronics/programming club. As long as we manage<br>
expectations well and don't make any promises we can't deliver it<br>
shouldn't do us any harm.<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I had a meeting with Volcano Theatre Company (229 High Street) this<br>
morning, and they have offered us use of their space for future hackspace<br>
meetings. I approached Volcano specifically because I want to get a more<br>
diverse group of people, especially artists, involved. Volcano is part of<br>
the Swansea Creative Hub, and there are a number of art collectives/studios<br>
nearby. I also want to avoid the perception that we're part of the<br>
university, in order to make those not affiliated with Swansea University<br>
feel more welcome.<br>
<br>
Volcano is located in an area where we have a good chance of obtaining a<br>
more permanent space in the future, so this could also be seen as a test to<br>
see how easy it is for us to get to.<br>
<br>
They are willing to host us for free for the next technical meeting on<br>
Monday 4 November. There are couches, tables and chairs, but we'll have to<br>
provide all our own equipment (including data projector if necessary).<br>
<br>
Your comments are welcome.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Gerrit<br>

<br>
That's great.<br>
<br>
Means I can attend.<br>
<br>
I think the mix of people is a great idea. We are also launching the TechHub in november (we have 4000 sq ft in Wind Street) with a really good internet connection, so we will be just down the road. We will have the facilities there for meetings (projectors etc.) and we will be encouraging groups like hackspace to use the space for meetups and events like the Mini MakerFair in Bristol.<br>
<br>
I know one of the artists that has taken some space upstairs in the Volcano space, which I guess would be a good space for hack events and meetings too.<br>
<br>
See you in November.<br>
<br>

I may actually be able to make that one and if need be I have a mini<br>
portable projector. It's hardly cinemascope but it'll do for a small room<br>
I would think.<br>
