Join organizers of several different successful hackerspaces to learn more about sharing a community workspace for learning, sharing, and making things. Moderated by Mitch Altman of SF's Noisebridge, the panel will discuss creating a hackerspace, how to attract and keep members as well as organizing workshops and events.
Though most (in)famous for inventing the wildly popular TV-B-Gone, a keychain that makes it fun to turn off TVs in public places, Mitch Altman is an inventor with decades of experience with microcontrollers and teaching. He is also co-founder of Noisebridge hackerspace in San Francisco, and contributes to MAKE Magazine.
