Yes, I emailed them months ago but did not get a reply. They are the same people that put on Notacon... As far as I can tell there is no activity.

Hello!

Yes, I apologize for the delay in a reply. Your email was lost in the
server queue.

The Makers' Alliance has formed and is actively having meetings.
We're incorporated as a non-profit in Ohio, with a formal board of
about 7 people (two founding members from Notacon and the founding
members of Recycled Rainbow are on the board), and a member base that
is growing (currently around 30). I would be very interested in
collaborating with you.

We're currently in the fund-raising portion of forming, and exploring
partnering with several organizations in Cleveland for space
(hopefully free!).

Our next meeting will be in the beginning of January. The website at
http://www.makersalliance.org

I haven't gotten a chance to check over your forums yet, but I'll
lurk, etc.

Thanks!

Thanks for the follow-up! I've checked your website periodically but it has not changed. When/where do you meet? Very interested in learning more about what you have cooking...

Speaking of collaborations, there is an etsy cleveland group. Do you
think they would be interested in joining forces?

In my mind, the more people the merry-er.
