There's a very significant crossover between Linux nerds and hacking nerds (in
my opinion). I wish there were more notifications about related groups on this
(and other LUG lists).
I agree - at one surrey/hants bring a box meet there were (IIRC) four or so
repraps attending
which got more LUG members interested in building their own!
I hadn't heard of Southackton until Mark & Tony mentioned it and we talked
about it on the podcast.
Same here!
I know there is an massive overhead in starting and running a hackspace but
perhaps there is a way
to get the members of both groups to fund a common space somewhere - or is the
area (travelling
distances) just too big/wide?
One thing suggested and dropped as unfeasable was the idea of a mobile
hackspace. Too limited,
no three phase, insurance, problems with long term parking, high cost of fuel,
who drives it etc.
Personally I think the idea is seriously cool even if unfeasable outside the
scottish highlands.

p.s. I already have my own personal hackspace(s) - in my garden :-)
