hello!  I'd be happy to do an interview with you guys.  We can circulate this to our members and get some other folks brought in as well.  Are you ok with me forwarding this directly to our member body?  How many people are you looking to talk to?

I've added Rich Neubauer, our new president to the thread here as well.

Hi there,
We're a group of students at Illinois Institute of Technology Institute of Design. We're doing a research project on Innovation space, and in particular, we're interested in studying hackerspace. 

So far, we have studied the Pumping Station: One hackerspace in Chicago. However, we'd like to delve into other hackerspaces to have more comprehensive understanding. We have read your website and have basic understanding of Milwaukee Makerspace, but would like more details and also because major part of our research protocol is to conduct primary researches like site observations and one-on-one interviews.

Since we're not able to attend your open house anytime soon, we'd like to know if it's possible for us to have Skype interviews with some Milwaukee Makerspace members and board of directors. Below are details of what we are looking for.

Time required: 45 mins-1hr interview per participant
Dates required: between 10/25 Thur to 11/2 Fri
Types of Members
• active member (use space all the time)
• causal member (occasional user)
• secretive member (low use, only come once a while)
• also members that have full time job, self-employed, unemployed etc
• anyone that has interesting stories or you might want to suggest

If you can help facilitate and recruit participants that would be great. We'll contact the members directly to schedule Skype calls once they identify interest in participating in our project.

Also, can we trouble you to find out more general information about Milwaukee Makerspace? see below. Thanks!!

  1. How many total members do you have at Milwaukee Makerspace? (still 70?)
  2. What are rough percentage of male vs. female member?
  3. Any noticeable ethnicity and average age group?
  4. How do you attract members?
  5. Is Milwaukee Makerspace in close relationship/association with any national/international hackerspace?


Thank you very much, please let us know what's possible and feel free to contact us with any questions.
Best,

Chia-ling Yu, Minji Kim, Paul Sheetz, Stefania Sini
IlT Institute of Design, Master of Design students

I was going to volunteer, but I have very little to offer a tv show,
besides being slightly nuts. :-)

this is for some design students at IIT, not a TV show.  It would be great if a couple other members could be available.  Any takers?

they are looking for a few other people to join in after rich on saturday.  If anyone wants to join me monday night, we can do that as well.  I would suggest *not* doing the interview from chase as the internet connection is ... well, you know what it is.
