</font> </div> <div>Good morning everyone,<br><br>List newbie here, part of a group getting a makerspace up and going in<br>Birmingham, AL.<br><br>Am wondering if any knows of or of anyone developing an algorithm or<br>
equation to predict a membership size range based on city or metro area<br>population (or other factors)? Or from experience, has developed some<br>simple rules of thumb? I'm writing our business plan and want, if at all<br>
possible to know if our predicted membership numbers that we're aiming for<br>are
realistic. (currently a business school iS student - who cheerully<br>obsesses about such things)<br><br>I'm prepared to slog through the current list on <a href="http://hackerspaces.org/" target="_blank">hackerspaces.org</a> and do<br>
the analysis, but being lazy, wanted to see if anyone else had done it<br>first. :)<br><br>For context, B'ham AL is a spread out smear of a city, pop. 212,000,<br>within a municipally fractured greater metro area of 1.1 million.<br>
