If you are on the BCC list it's because you expressed an interest in a robots workshop a while ago and I thought this was closely related. I won't send you any more about this unless you ask me to. Or you could just sign up to the hackspacebristol list [1]. As some of you know there are plans afoot to set up one or, hopefully, two Hacklabs in Bristol. The likely locations are the Bristol Wireless lab at Hamilton House and the Arnolfini. We will be hosting a visit from Toby Borland and Mick Donegan from SMARTLab at UEL [2] on Mon 10 Aug. For those who don't know the SMARTLab provides a public access facility, similar to the MIT FabLab programme, but with a strong commitment to open source. They have a laser cutter, a RepRap [3] and various other bits and pieces. The idea is for the SMARTLab to come to Bristol and to see Hamilton House and the Arnolfini (the two proposed Hacklab venues) and perhaps the Pervasive Media Studio too. They will get a chance to meet some of the people involved at this end, from Bristol Wireless, Bristol Hackspace, Dorkbot, Futurelab, Arnolfini etc. and we will all get a chance to hear about the work of SMARTLab. Following on from this the idea is to explore ways we might collaborate. For example we might identify a core group who would be commited to running the spaces in Bristol; this group would go up to London for a workshop over a couple of days to train them up in the use of all the equipment; they could then be the custodians of the equipment in Bristol, facilitate public access (and ensure public safety) and, in due course, train up more people in Bristol. The exact agenda is TBD but I'll be firming it up over the next day or two. It's likely to start with a brief meeting with the Futurelab team, followed by visits to Arnolfini and Hamilton House, in that order. If you would like to come along please email me off list, or give me a call, so that I can get a handle on numbers. Despite the wide distribution of this email we aim to keep this meeting relatively small and informal, numbers are limited. I will of course report back to the list(s) after the event, and there will be plenty of other opportunities to find out about what is going on as things develop. -- Peter Ferne, +44 (0)7970 942 261, petef at bristolwireless.net [1]: http://lists.psand.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hackspacebristol [2]: http://smartlab.uel.ac.uk/ [3]: http://reprap.org/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
