[hackerspaces] Would you like to speak on the Hackerspaces Panel at the Next Hope conference?

[Nick Farr (hackerspaces.org)]

I'm putting together another panel of Hackerspace members similar to
the "All Your Excuses are Invalid" talk we did at The Last HOPE two
years ago and I'm looking for a few more participants!

The focus of this panel is on growth, expansion and getting there.
Several spaces that ramped up since the last HOPE panel have expanded
in terms or membership, launched successful startups and moved into
larger spaces.  Other spaces have been the second or third to launch
in their area.  The panel is entitled "Hackerspaces Forever" and will
present strategies and success stories from the leading Hackerspaces
of the world.

As you can see below, we need more NON-EAST COAST Hackerspaces in the
US, as well as non-US/EU spaces.

Each speaker will have approximately 5 minutes to describe their space
and answer a question I pose, similar to last time.  The panel should
be fast paced and relevant to anyone involved in building or
participating in a Hackerspace today.

If you're interested in participating, please e-mail me OFF LIST with
your Name, Space, and a one sentence bio.  Current participants
include:
