Hi Makers!
My name is César García. I'm co-founder of Makespace Madrid and I'm podcasting at La Hora Maker. My goal for the last 2.5 years has been to highlight maker talent, so more curious people could join and participate into the spaces.
In 2018, I've been asked to help promote European Maker Week (EMW) among active spaces. We've organized activities in previous years too at our Makerspace. In my mind, EMW is a big celebration where European spaces decide to open their doors, or do some activities to invite new people to discover how to tinker, hack and create using technology.
Are you organizing any activity from May 12th-19th? Are you hosting Arduino Day or Scratch Day? Doing open doors? Soldering workshops? You could register any of these events at European Maker Week site to appear listed as participant in the map (like Arduino/Scratch day events). In my experience this allows new people to discover you space and get in touch with other spaces or institutions.
If this sounds nice, please register
Just some feedback, you're message and website look SPAMY, creepy, and weird. They definitely give off icky corporate vibes. This is more than just a matter of style. Neither your "About Us" page nor your Contacts page contain legal information about the ownership of the organization. That's not just weird, that's shady. But looking deeper, it doesn't even look like you are some evil corporate monsters. Google translate tells me that you're run by the chamber of commerce of Rome. https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_...
Good-luck,
Tim

Hi Tim,
Thank you very much for your feedback. I do appreciate it. Chamber of Commerce of Rome is promoting both Maker Faire Rome and European Maker Week. Maybe that information is not easily visible or more details should be made available.
As per the evil corporate monsters, I am not :) I'm just another guy that loves exploring technology, creating stuff with other people and visiting spaces (when I'm not in my city). This year I am helping promote the week, as I've enjoyed participating in previous years.
I will keep your suggestions in mind.
Have a nice day, César

Hi Timothy,
Thanks for your feedback. As you correctly understood, EMW is not an organization itself, just a Europe-wide “hat” event/initiative under which fall many events organized at local level.
Maker Faire Rome – the European Edition, organized by the Rome Chamber of Commerce (public body) under licence, and Startup Europe (an initiative by the European Commission) are, respectively, organizing the Week and supporting/endorsing it. All public bodies, and definitely no evil corporation behind it J
We will make sure to be even more clear in any future update; we will be also running a survey at the end of the Week: please, feel free to add any suggestion; we will surely take them in high consideration.
Looking forward to seeing your event on the map, keep making!
