So I think we've all heard about different people interested in a
hackerspace/co-working space.

I spoke to Edmon Chung, CEO of DotAsia, about this a few months ago
and found out he had been doing some serious research into opening one
up through DotAsia.

I think it would make sense to get everyone who is interested in this
together to see if any progress can be made.

I spoke to Edmon tonight and he has generously agreed to host the
meeting at DotAsia's new offices near Knutsford Terrace. The target
date is the first week of July.

Please let me know what you think and if you would like to attend.
Email me at henr...@hksua.com.hk or Rod at rod....@hksua.com.hk to
RSVP. DotAsia will need a headcount.

Cheers,
Henry

I'll plan on coming, but I'll be out of town for the first week of
July.

I am interested. One of our members has already suggested meeting on
June 26 (Sat) to show us his findings of coworking spaces he recently
visited in USA. Do you think bringing in the date to June 26 is
feasible? That may accomodate Jon Buford as well.

Thanks

It looks like we probably have enough of a critical mass to plan both the co-work space and hackerspace separately at this point. It would be good to have cooperation in the long term, but I think the focus is different enough that it will be good to have meetings for both separately.

So, we will plan on doing a hackerspace planning meeting on the 26th. For those that are interested, please check out the meetup group: http://www.meetup.com/Hacker-space-in-Hong-Kong/ We will post the meetup soon, just confirming the location.

It seems Edmon is not in HK at this moment.
I heard that he's gone to Spain for ICANN meeting.

If he will be available to meet up in Early July,
I would like to join the meeting.

The plan is to meet up with him when he is back in July, and so we
should have a fairly concrete plan for how to proceed by then.

Jon
