Visiting Maker from NZ, would love to catch up for a coffee :)

[Richard Fortune]

Hey folks,

 I'm an NZ based maker visiting my family and friends in Europe. I'll be in London next week and would love to catch up for a brief coffee if you're open to it.
I love what you guys are doing and would love to connect and see what collaborations I can take back with me to NZ. 

In NZ I set up a national Maker Organisation to help others setup spaces. I'm a member of a space called Co-Lab181 and have worked on fun projects such as building a makerspace in a shipping container (MakerCrate), worked with the WikiHouse NZ crew building their prototype and also setup the first ever Maker event in NZ - Makertorium, which had 6500 visitors.

If it works that we can meet then great, if not then not to worry. I'll stay present on the forums and I'm sure we'll be in touch again in future. 

Regards,

- Richard

Hey Richard,

Great to hear from you.  We'd love to have a chat if you're around.  We're in the http://hubwestminster.net which is near Piccadilly Circus.

As an aside, is there anyone you'd recommend to commercially make OpenDesks on the North Island?  We're looking to fulfil some orders in Auckland...

Thanks,

James.

Hi Arthur, I have a few people who might be able to help. Is it a one off or ongoing engagement? 

Should I just drop by the lab? I'll be in London on Friday.

Hi Richard,

Sure, just drop by on Friday.
We'll have to pick you up from ground floor reception.
Could you drop me a line at " ian at opendesk.cc " -- then I can ping you my mobile nr.
