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. Current President is Joshua, aka devians.

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 are currently located in a 300sqm warehouse in Fortitude Valley, and we hope to soon have a new, bigger and better location in Hawthorn.

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.

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!
