Tonight their culture hour is in San Francisco and they talkes a little
about Makerspaces and even went to one in Northridge It is all
volunteer run and all teachers are volunteers and most things are fred
I did not catch a name other than in Northridge and that the alley behind is lines
in murals, if that helps anyone that has visited ones in that area
Hexlabs https://www.hexlabmakerspace.com
Northridge is near L. A.
Gosh, look at their rates. Even considering they are southern California rates, it puts into perspective that our rates are truly non-profit.
Agree. Hexlabs looks like it is a for-profit. Non-profits almost always display that. Also it looks like using tools other than computers and 3D scanner all cost.
Noisebridge is going to rent in SF - that can’t be cheap. They say their operating expense is $6,500/mo and they have a 5,200 they are getting way below market rates on rent. Hope they make it, at least they are in an area that has folks with the income to pay higher dues.
Number A: it’s in Cali, ergo, better in every possible way no matter what.
Number 2: why wait for them to call? Reach out to them. See if you can DRAW them into our orbit. Offer a pint down’tpub, fishnchips, and treacle treats… Or barbeque and a Coors or 4, if that seems more to their liking…
