President's Report

Shed Media contacted HacDC about a Television show on January 14 2015.

  • Spoke to Shed Media about their interest in HacDC for a reality/educational television show on Feb 3 2015.
  • Shed Media develops concepts for TV shows and sells them to networks and they want to explore a Mythbusters-type show (6-8 episodes about the same space) on Hacker/Makerspaces. They want to show interesting people making cool things in a way that will be entertaining and educational to viewers.
  • They got our name from Mitch? at Noisebridge (San Francisco) and are talking to other spaces. I also gave them the names of Reverse Space, Unallocated Space, and Baltimore Node.
  • If this goes all the way, it will require a large and long time investment by those involved and will be a huge disruption on the space for the duration of the project. However, the space and the people involved will make some money.
  • Next step is for them to talk to some of the members to see if they make good TV
  • Pros: Make money for the space, free advertising.
  • Cons: Serious time commitment from those involved, disruption of the space during filming.
  • If you don't like this idea: Formal objections should be sent to the Membership mailing list for discussio
  • If you like the idea: It is useful to make a comment on the Membership mailing list so everyone knows how you feel
  • If you want to participate: Send the BOD an email with a SHORT background about yourself (what is your day job, what are your hobbies, why are you interesting) and description of any projects you are working on or might want to work on so we can pass the information on to Shed Media. (NB: Short means 500 words or less. I WILL STOP READING AFTER THAT. URLS to projects are good.)
