Just to help kick this off, I put together a website for us http://www.fortworthmakerspace.com . Now we need a place to start a first meeting. Any volunteers?

Just “after work” round trips. (One of those Tandy-Exs)

I know it’s a heck of a drive for the 817′s to come to 214, but we’ve got our annual open house coming up on November 10th if you guys would like to check it out.

PS> Good to see two (and now three) ex-Tandy employees in this thread :)

Glad that you are interested.

If you send me your email (sherry@oreilly.com), I will compile a list and send it out to the group that attended last evening and include those that are interested in getting involved. The alternative to such short notice was no event happening – not good for anyone. I am liking what I see from the Makers that attended, and to me – it was worth getting the conversation started and connecting local Makers.

The conversation has started and if you send me your email address (sherry@oreilly.com) I will add it to the email list of those that came last night. There is a lot of energy and excitement in the community, and I know that they are looking to find others that are interested in getting more Making activities in the community. So great to be able to connect these Makers and this was the first time that them met for most of them.

Can you give us a local contact since it appears there is already some organization going on in FW?
