Just don't call yourself ents. That has a completely different
meaning, especially in California. <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.

Hackerspaces and coworking spaces are very similar concepts. Don't
be afraid of that, embrace it!<br>

that you have those in the space?<br>
