VanHackSpace Meeting
Where: 304 Victoria Drive (Victoria and Hastings)
When: August 20th, 2008, 6:30 PM
What:

Some Vancouver Hackers went to the Last HOPE. There, they viewed many
presentations about Hackerspaces, and why EVERY CITY needs to have one.
They found that not only did a bunch of US cities had Hackspaces but
that Toronto, Montreal and Hamilton all had hackspaces as well.

Finding that the Vancouver Hackers have been slacking, they came back
and with the help of other local hackers of various types helped start
the Vancouver Hacker Space. Currently, we're seeking people who want to
make the new Hackspace a reality.

For more information about Hackerspaces in general, check out:
