At the end of the day, is it really a huge issue? So what, there's 3 places in Atlanta listed, whoopdy lala! If there was 300 and it was impossible to filter out the noise, then sure, but there's 3. <br><br>We (ENTS, Edmonton New Technology Society), conciously choose not to use the word 'hacker' in what we do because it has too many negative conitations and we get some funding from the City and corporate people, but we're still a hackerspace at heart (non-profit, member run, work benches, etc). But we also rent some offices to some businesses to fund ourselves. And some of our members are more interested in technology business than taking things apart. <br>
<br>Also, to whoever started this and is in Atlanta with the 'hackerspace' in question; have you reached out to them? There's probably a huge overlap between your potential users and you should be heavily cross-promoting and co-promoting in my opinion. <br>
<br>Hackerspaces and coworking spaces are very similar concepts. Don't be afraid of that, embrace it!<br><br><br>Rob<br>Director, ENTS<br><a href="http://ents.ca">http://ents.ca</a><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, May 5, 2011 at 9:02 PM, Agent 5 <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ag3nt5@dc401.org">ag3nt5@dc401.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>
