I got this direct to our techspace contact list - did anyone else get it?

Assuming it is legit - is there a good place to point him to? Or does someone want to reply? I don't really have time to resend stuff that is already out there.

Given Syria is effectively in civil war it seems interesting that people are thinking about this stuff - but I guess life goes on.....

We in the hackerspace plane to make a list of these tools which contains until now the following : 
oscilloscope - multimeter -power supply - some transistors (General use) - common stuff ( resistors - capacitors - LEDs -relay ... ) - microcontrollers programmers (PIC-AVR) - LCDs/GLCDs/7SEGs - sensors (humidity - temperature -ultrasonic ) - motors (DCs with gears- steppers - servos) - soldering tools - microcontrollers (atmega8 - atmega328 - PIC16D877) - arduino shields(Ethernet) - breakouts(bluetooth-RF) -arduino UNO s – robotic KIT .

I have read about your hackerspace on the internet and I would like to give me some advices according to your experience :
what the components and instruments that we should Compilation to build our young hackerspace ?
How do you manage them ?

The fledgling NorthernMakers HackerSpace in Melbourne also received it
on their email list.

See this KickStarter campaign ...
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bilal/baghdad-community-hackerspace-workshops

Whilst a lot of the developed world has sent "armed conflict" into the
Middle East ...

I think that we should send them some HackerSpaces as well :)
