I've started a Makerspace aka Hackerspace. I know of Nucleon, and this
isn't a competition just another slice of the same pie. (They would
win either way)
We have a facebook and google group as well as a twitter feed.

We had our first meeting this past Saturday and 4 people showed to
talk about making this a reality in the greater San Diego area. Next
week we are meeting in a members garage and I plan on bringing my
Prusa Mendel Reprap and he has a Makerbot. Others may bring their
repraps and laser-cutters.
All are welcome to join us in weekly meetings and help us along the
road to getting a building a real space. Ideally a storefront or nice
industrial suite. We want to make it self-sustaining so that all the
equipment is paid for by fundraising from the space and goes back into
the space.
Please contact us through the google group to express your interest.
We look forward to meeting any and all of you!
Regards,
John
