I don't know about all the rest of the spaces but it seems that the<br>
<a href="http://wired.com" target="_blank">wired.com</a> article gave us the boost we needed to get started. I had 3<br>
potential new members contact me and they are coming to our meeting on<br>
Sunday.<br>
</blockquote></div><br>Here's some other feedback for you.<br><br>I'd been toying with the idea for a few years now as there's no Hackerspaces here at all (Australia).<br><br>The day the Wired article came out.. an Australian hackerspace popped up in planning.. which motivated me to get my idea rolling too.. so I started one up in planning.<br>
<br>By the end of the day there were 4 planned hackerspaces in Australia and one more in New Zealand.<br><br><br>I also suggest that some <a href="http://hackerspaces.org">hackerspaces.org</a> spokesperson (Mitch?, or whoever is appropriate) get some some podcasts.<br>
I suggested to Christel from Freenode that they do a feature on #hackerspaces and hackerspaces in general. I think many podcasts would jump on the idea to interview someone about hackerspaces.<br><br><br><br>The beauty of it is the more publicity <a href="http://hackerspaces.org">hackerspaces.org</a> gets, the more publicity everyone gets. And for the cities with just one or no hackerspaces.. that's nothing but good news :)<br>
<br><br>Thanks guys,<br><br><br>-pk<br>
