Australia's first Hackerspace!
Hello Everyone!
Here are the essentials:
- Group email address hackerspace_brisbane@googlegroups.com
- Public Group Calendar
- IRC chat channel: irc://irc.freenode.net/hsbne ( firefox users will love chatzilla: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16 )
Membership to the mailing list is open to all!
Group Administrators name is David, but everyone knows me as Buzz. I guess that makes me the "Founding President" of the physical group for the time being too. :-) Don't worry, I'm a good actor.
First, I'd like to say thanks to everyone for showing an interest.
Why are we here? We want to improve our in-person geek shared workspace and general nerd hang-out space for cool things to actually happen. We want community, discussions, and offers of help.
We have people interested in: programming, linux, security, micro-controllers, arduinos, electronics, firmware, software , RC-flying (helis and planes) , UAV's , cars , mechatronics, robotics, 3D printing, PCB-etching, metal-casting, woodworking, and more....... if it can be hacked, we like it.

Please put a pin on the map for where (or somewhere near) you live , so we can gauge for potentially the best location/s.
I'd encourage you to join the list if you haven't already, and to say hello. We're fairly quiet on-list ( at the moment) , but the meetings aren't. Our IRC channel also has it's moments. :-)
welcome again!
Buzz ( aka David )
President, Hackerspace Brisbane.
-- UPDATE June 2010
We are well and truly live, for over a year now! We are now residing at our SECOND space. A space to truly call our own... for a while until we find something better. Woohoo!
David Buzz ( Founding President ) James (pelrun) Founding Secretary
