Recently some of my fellow geeks and I have been seriously discussing
starting a hackerspace in Des Moines.

What is a hackerspace? Good question! A hackerspace is quite simply a
physical location where people can meet up and work on their projects. We could do all kinds of things with this space:

- Hold events like game jams, presentations, LAN parties, etc.
- Have a meeting space for local user groups (Linux User Group or Web Geeks maybe?)
- Cheap coworking space for those looking to work somewhere else besides
home
- Work/collaborate on projects that wouldn't easily fit at home
- Other ideas we haven't even thought of yet

If you think this sounds like a good idea and want to be involved or help out in some fashion please let me know :)

[apologies for any dupes you get]
