I would like to solicit your input on what and how we should talk about/propose at this meeting. My rough plan is to talk about Fab Labs/spaces in general, and our maker space in particular, with various project ideas from members to illustrate. I hope to secure some backing ($) as well as assistance in site-ing the space. If you would like to work with me on the presentation and/or business planning, please speak up!!

I have found that the Kihei Charter School has a grant from U.H to build a 'makery', which is akin to a Fab Lab. Also King K HS has a grant to get an advanced color 3d printer (jealous? yes I am.) We can help with the schools, and get adults involved.

I'd like to have anyone who wants (up to maybe 3 people) with me for the Feb 10th meeting, and as much help as possible preparing the presentation/proposal. The unfortunate part is I will be off island Jan31-Feb7, but if people here can work on things, I'm happy to collaborate remotely!
Also I'm going to Oahu on this Tuesday to meet Neil Scott of UH Invention Factory to talk story. They have a terrific concept in their Makery Cloud(tm), which seeks to create a network of small scale fab setups in schools & community, sharing instructional and other resources. My 45min phone call with him today shows great potential for collaboration.
