[hackerspaces] Starting a hackerspace ( Winchester Va)

[ITechGeek]

Also, w/ the location, I would also suggest mentioning it on the
Reverse Space, HacDC, & NOVA Hackers mailing lists, cause I know there
are people who are on those lists and live out that way.

If you have a large garage, I know a few Hackerspaces have started out
of people's garages while trying to build the interest.

I would also suggest advertising the idea at any local colleges.

There was even a LUG here but the owner seemed to have died and their list is all but dead.  Any help is appreciated.
