For folks looking to start a business, it looks like a worthwhile course. I can't comment on the price.</div><div><br></div><div>I haven't had a lot of interaction with Tom, but Dale's a super nice guy.

From reading their site it appears this is the first time they have run a workshop like this</div><div><br></div><div>It's a great idea, but just seems like a lot of money for the first time out. When I saw it featured by Make, I assumed it would be the folks from Artisan's Asylum since they have some history with helping other spaces get going. Since I don't know much about the Ann Arbor group, I would be hesitant to go. Maybe others here can vouch for their legitimacy?</div><div><br></div><div>Jens (also from MakeICT)</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 30, 2014 at 9:57 AM, Dominic Canare <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dom@makeict.org">dom@makeict.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><a href="http://makezine.com/2014/09/26/makerspace-operations-bootcamp/" target="_blank">http://makezine.com/2014/09/26/makerspace-operations-bootcamp/</a><br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)">Has anyone attended one of these bootcamps?
