Cool. Can I suggest that once you've got the temperature of a few
people, people get together face to face? Ideally somewhere with beer :)
(Most of my discussions have been around a slightly different shape,
more like pre-incubation for companies than strict hacking space. But
I think they will fit together quite nicely.)

in, and we need to drum up enough interest to have a hope of
succeeding. So this is step 1.
As far as I'm concerned the next step is getting a name - something
for people to muster around. Then we can try and work out where and
who we get money from.

That sounds good to me. I'll leave it to someone else to suggest the
exact day though :)

Arg! Two different spaces for discussion. No--three, because there's a
wiki. I strongly recommend that *one* space is authoritative. And that
it not be IRC, unless someone can be bothered to set up a bot-to-web
mirror thingy.
(I've been in processes before where everything was slowed down by the
same conversation appearing like some crazed round-robin on IRC, then
on the wiki, then on the mailing list.)

IRC is just for chit-chat, and the wiki for notes etc.

On top of those, can I suggest a facebook group, and events and shit
being created by the group, so they end up in my calendar?

I don't think anyone mentioned deck space in London yet, which has a
long history back to clink street:
http://dek.spc.org/
Access space in Sheffield is a really nice free media space too:
http://access-space.org/?c=overview
C-base in Berlin is another fantastic place run by an alarmingly
quirky clique:
http://www.c-base.org/
Paul Graham's re-casting of hackers in his own image (along with some
of the posts to this list) makes me worry that a 'hackerspace' in
London might be too attractive to Internet startups looking for cool
hotdesks though...

Uncertain quite what you meant (what are the zeroes doing?), I Googled
this and discovered that it's the NASA GRIN id for President Lyndon
Johnson meeting astronauts after the Gemini IV mission.
I suspect this isn't what you mean :)

Ah, now I get it -- think the brackets were needed or something :-)
