So Lucy and I were asked by Alex Reed and Gideon Brett to go to Rewired State Parliament last weekend, we did and had quite a lot of fun there seeing everyone and messing with the parliament data we were given.
The Hub Westminster seems to be, at least physically, the kind of place I'd like the Makerspace to become, though the Hub is mostly focused on tech and social startups rather than making and modding.
Of course, I took the PirateBox, it didn't get used as much as I'd hoped but it was worth taking just to talk to people about.
Video of the event is still to come but here's some further reading for now.

There's also some promotional material in the cupboard at the hut.
