Someone posted onto the South Wales LUG questioning why I'm doing what
I'm doing. Here's my reply, I hope it doesn't scare anyone off!

A fair comment and I'll do my best.

At the moment this is based on the fact that I enjoy working with
computers and I like
the idea of knowing what I'm talking about with electronics (I can't
afford the arduino
workshop otherwise I'd be there in a flash!).

HackerSpaces appeal to me because it appears to be an ideal place to
swap knowledge about
different topics from Computing through to electronics and on to
things such as visual
art and home-brew musical instruments.

Initially, I'm looking for other people who are happy to work with me
to decide on what
we need, where we'll do this and how it will work, after that, I'm
looking for people to
help continue to shape this "thing" into an object of hackery.

So in summary, it's all very vague but I hope good things will come of
it.
Sounds interesting but it is too far east in Wales for me really.
Fair enough, one of the reasons I've not been able to make a LUG meet
(despite the fact
I've been lurking here fore about a year!) is because even Cardiff is
a bit of a hassle
for me owing to work commitments and children etc.

I'm also hoping that there may be some form of "online community"
around this project as
it grows, and anyone will be able to take part in that as well!

===================================================================

Let me know your thoughts,

Kind regards,

Matt
