Hi Benjamin,

I'm in town as well, (I hail from AceMonsterToys in Oakland, CA). I
would be more than happy to support bangspace and get it off the
ground. Is there any financial estimate/plan for bangspace? Most don't
realize that hackerspaces are actually running on money and donations
are critical. AMT has finally gotten to self-sufficiency (we are
actually in the black now :)) and I recall the past year where we
tried to increase membership and community awareness; it has not been
quick, but it worked and we hope to grow even bigger in the coming
year.

Also, any meetings in the works anytime soon? I am around next week,
but go home for Christmas afterwards. I come to bkk about two months
per year and would be fun to play around with stuff while here.

Stefan
