[Vanhackspace] Vanhackspace Digest, Vol 15, Issue 18

Sun May 31 12:11:35 PDT 2009

i am another lurker interested in getting involved - if the meetings were
any night other than Tuesday, I would have come out a few times.  Sorry for
not speaking up sooner...I will start making a monthly contribution.

My own office lease is coming up and have been looking out for spaces lately
- if I come across anything that meets the criteria (I assume the
requirements at
http://vancouver.hackspace.ca/doku.php?id=quest_for_the_space are still
accurate), I will pass on the details.

For me, there is no doubt that space is a more important step than tools.  I
also really like the idea of a library.  And what is PSOne?
