In just one day

After only one Day of my craigslist posting, I received a total of 8 emails from people who would be interested in joining a local Hackerspace group. I'm getting together a list of names and email addresses and will keep everyone posted of any more developments. I thinking about doing an introduction post on here so everyone can each give a little information about one another before we actually try to find a place to meet up. Babysteps
I also updated the hackerspaces.org wiki to reflect something going on in NWA.

The water is warm

After that posting on Craigslist i got a few people emailing me with interest in a project like this. This is a good sign. And at the end of the day a gentlemen names Cosmo dropped me a line and said he was already trying to get this off the ground here in Fayetteville. I'm going to meet with him at Table's and Ale to get more information. I'll keep you posted

Testing the waters


I was reading this article
http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2009/03/hackerspaces.html
and thought it would be interesting to join a local club like this, but after doing some searching I couldn't find one. So i thought i would post an ad and see if anyone was interested in starting one.

Here is a link to the main site
http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Hacker_Spaces
and here is a link to all the registered chapters
http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/List_of_Hacker_Spaces

If anyone else is interested in maybe getting one started for Fayetteville / Springdale or NWA , drop me a line. I'm just testing the waters to see if there is even interest in doing this in the local area.
