    Let's do it. I will work on a temporary space and we will do two things.
    One is cycle training the other is arduino. How many people are interested
    in both.

    DARPA is giving grant money for technology. Anyone know about this?

    Yes it was Mudge presentation at BH this year. You have to have a
    hackerspace and obviously project must be relevant.

    Terrance,
     
    I'm confused. Temporary space (for the workshop) has already been
    arranged. I'm not quite sure what you mean by cycle training. I've
    already begun putting the materials together for the Arduino workshop.
    Unless you're talking about putting a different event together, then
    I'm lost. :?

    Jason, Think DARPA would invest in local educational workshops?
     

     

    Jason Malley <jtma...@aol.com> Nov 09 08:17AM -0500  

    I think they would... Or I am hoping.
     

     

    Terrence <terr...@prolexic.com> Nov 09 08:28AM -0500  

    It was morning I meant ctf training. I shouldn't be allowed access to a
    keyboard before 9 am.

     

    Michael Greenberg <plac...@gmail.com> Nov 09 08:34AM -0500  

    Oh, CTF training would be awesome! If you're looking for spaces, I
    have several you could choose from. You guys should put this together!
     

     

    Michael Greenberg <plac...@gmail.com> Nov 09 08:44AM -0500  

    No, some of the spaces are free of charge. The ones that charge are
    done so because they are lame (and make money for themselves that
    way). I'm not affiliated with any of them in any way (aside from
    indirect support like this). I'm just interested in helping. :)
     

     

    Jason Malley <jtma...@aol.com> Nov 09 08:47AM -0500  

    I would love to do a CTF training/practical hacking course.
     
    Web, network, reverse engineering, Metasploit mastery.
     
    It is kinda like magic... Once you learn the tricks, you realize how easy it is.... Unless you my boss, than it is magic :)

    I'd say for classes there should be some sort of nominal charge. & tokens
    or sommat for paying members. the main goal of the charge is to prevent
    noshows. It would also allow us to provide some sort of food,
    drink/supplies for the class

    Guys just because we change a minimal fee may be the reason why people may
    not come.

     

    Michael Greenberg <plac...@gmail.com> Nov 09 09:12AM -0500  

    FYI, I know many workshops and meetups who are quite successful while
    still charging $5-10 for specifically preventing no-shows (while
    generating a nominal offset for expenses incurred). Usually, the
    content of these workshops are credible (as in, communicated through
    well established channels or the meetup has established strong
    precedence within the community) and attendees are more willing to pay
    in these cases.
     

     

    Jason Malley <jtma...@aol.com> Nov 09 09:14AM -0500  

    We get a sponsor/ local company to help with costs. For the price of some bagels, they get to pass out some swag or something.
     
    The goal is to partner with the community as well. Their main benefit is seeing quality people getting solid training. The people get to up skills and the companies get a higher degree of talent to hire from. The also helps the people find quality jobs (and get more $$$ since they have skills). The circle goes round and round!
     

     

    Jason Malley <jtma...@aol.com> Nov 09 09:15AM -0500  

    Another idea is charge 10 bucks via a paypal and you get it back if you show.
     
     
     

     

    Tim Krabec <tkr...@gmail.com> Nov 09 09:15AM -0500  

    We should always charge a fee, even if we offer a discount to $0 for a
    limited time. Also I'm not proposing that we charge paying members persay,
    except we deduct a token of some sort, if they show then they can go to
    another class for free but if they don't then they can only miss X more
    classes with out a penlty

    If we didn't want to charge, another idea could be that whoever came had to
    contribute something, like a tip, demonstration or new way of doing
    something. It might cut down on the noshows since you would have people
    that were serious about the classes

    Tip almost edges on the concept of donations. I would start off with
    requesting donations. If the community feels the topics are worth their
    time I'm positive they would be willing to donate.

    Jose has a good point on people donating if they are able to and would like
    to. That seems logical.
