The Hackerspaces Book
HacDC's Contributions to The Hackerspaces Book is a new Wiki article to collect the things Bre Pettis wanted to do for the hackerspaces.org book. Whatever is there on the 18th, we will submit (even if that means nothing is there.)
Video Camera
We got a video camera donated! From Andy Michaels (See this Twitter post for details)
- The plan is to use this video camera for initial experimentation while we work on figuring out which real camera to obtain
- Anyone have a spare MiniDV deck to donate?
ShmooCon Party Planning

- We have reserved the Auditorium and the Dining room.
- A planning list has been started, e-mail [email protected] if you want on.
RepRap Build-a-Thon
A big RepRap Build-A-Thon Event has been planned for January 23-24.
- Zach Hoeken of NYCResistor will be coming down
- Make:DC is involved, possibly co-hosting
- We are reaching out to Make:Philly and other area groups
- Mark Adams is heading up the project
- A planning list has been started, e-mail [email protected] if you want on.
Notacon Planning
http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Notacon
- We will show up, we will bring soldering irons, we will network with other hacker spaces, and we WILL win ABE. (Even though Nate is, as the project coordinator, technically disqualified from helping us build our craft the GREATEST entry in the history of ABE.)
Rooftop Garden?
- "I also think it would be interesting to talk to the church about using the roof as a community garden, and having a vermiculture fertilizer source on site would be terrific."
- I've discussed this with the church in the past. Apparently, the roof is not structurally sound enough to support a garden, but I believe we can gain support for building the requisite supports. It's a project worth keeping on the back burner.--63.250.141.186 20:51, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
