Hello Ian, are you aware of the discussion about a hackerspace that is happening right now? One main objection is to promote a startup community with a space for regular meetings, workshops etc. If you are not aware you should take part in the discussion, many people there share your ideas.
The facebook group is the main room for discussion at the moment http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_144492112263469 there is aso a planning wiki http://bkkspace.pbworks.com/ and a skype group chat http://tinyurl.com/bkkhack Jan On Nov 15, 2:11 pm, Ian <[email protected]> wrote: > There are quite a few individuals in Thailand, both Thai and non-Thai, > that would really like to see a much more successful IT startup > community start here in Thailand.
