Tuto prilezitost bysme si rozhodne nemeli nechat ujit.

Potrebujeme zajistit prostory vhodne pro workshop. Napada mne oslovit Tomase z ASRG, ktery nam neco v tomto smyslu nabizel nebo oslovit Hub Prague, mozna usporadat na matfyzu. mame jeste nejake jine moznosti?
je to dobra prilezitost jak k brmlabu pritahnout dalsi lidi. Dnes na prednasce o Fab6 se objevili dalsi, ktere projekt brmlabu zajima. Jak Mitch pise pokud budeme mit nejake brmlab-related zalezitosti jako stickery, tricka, propagacni zalezitosti, vytistene materialy. Dalsi napady?

Hello, ruza,
Good to hear from you!
Congratulations on signing your rental agreement. :) It's an exciting time.
In my experience it is best to open up the workshop to everyone. This usually attracts a lot of people who may not otherwise have heard of your space, and potentially become members. At the beginning of each workshop I give an introduction, and in it I let people know that the hackerspace is funded by member dues and dontations, and welcome people to donate any amount of money if they like. So, it is good to have a donation box. It is also good to have stickers for your hackerspace to give away so that people can put them on their laptops, street lamp poles, and everywhere -- this reminds people to come back to the hackerspace. Also, if you have any T-shirts or anything else for sale, I'll point that out. Please feel free to use the workshop as a fund-raising opportunity. My time is free -- I only ask to be reimbursed for my kits used in the workshop.
I'm still putting dates together for my workshops in Eastern Europe. Maybe the 15th or 16th of September would be good? Does that work for you?
To do a workshop, I'll need you to get the following together:
- a room big enough for everyone to solder
- a demo table to show all the kits that people can make
- tables and chairs for people to solder at
- lighting (if the room doesn't have enough) -- several lamps
different lamps make for a nice feel, too
- soldering irons, each with a stand and sponge (ideally one per
participant, but people can share, if necessary)
- wire cutters (ideally one per participant, again, people can share,
if necessary)
- solder (with lead is way better!, but unleaded will work if that's
all you can get)
- hot glue gun, with glue sticks to fit it
- AA alkaline batteries (about 40 is good)
- power strips (with one outlet for each solder iron, plus lighting,
plus a hot glue gun, plus daisy chaining)
- AC extension cords to get power to each power strip
- enough printouts of the "Soldering Is Easy" comic for all
participants (translate them, if you like!): http://www.tvbgone.com/mfaire/soldercomic/soldercomic.pdf
I'll bring all the kits and tools, and everything else needed.
No charge for my time. I do this 'cause I love teaching people how to make things, and love helping hackerspaces. I ask to be reimbursed for kits used during the workshop, which is between US$10 and US$30 per kit (most are US$20).
The workshop is best described by checking out what's been posted for previous workshops I've given: http://www.nycresistor.com/2010/01/15/mitch-altmans-electronics-workshop-129... http://robotbrighton.ning.com/events/electronics-workshop-with http://www.tog.ie/2010/03/electronics-workshop-with-mitch-altman-and-jimmie-...

Sound OK?
Please let me know what you think.
Best, Mitch. _______________________________________________ Brmlab mailing list Brmlab@brmlab.cz http://rover.ms.mff.cuni.cz/mailman/listinfo/brmlab
