AGM announcement

[Jonathan Wheare]

Greetings Hackers and other interested people.
A Hackerspace is a physical space shared by an open community of
creative and curious individuals. This physical space affords its
members the ability to pool resources such as tools, technology but most
importantly shared knowledge and the innovation that comes from
collaboration and collective problem solving.
Why do we need a Hackerspace? We live in an era characterised by ever
increasing access to information and technology, largely afforded by the
Internet. New technologies are available almost instantaneously thanks
to eCommerce and cheap international shipping. All of this has imbued
the Do It Yourself and hobbyist communities with an almost unmanageably
massive potential. The missing link in this equation is hands-on
experience and face-to-face communication - which a Hackerspace can
provide.
The Adelaide Hackerspace has been meeting since early 2010, but has
recently become an incorporated body. As part of this process the first
Annual General Meeting will be held on the 19th of September. We expect
this event to chart the course of Hackerspace Adelaide into the future.

The agenda will include:
Election of committee members
Membership
Spaces
