Publicity

Media coverage

  • Blog coverage:
  • Special guest appearance: London Hackspace visitor Cory Doctorow in his capacity as the author of 'Makers' - cape and goggles optional - perhaps cutting a ribbon cable to open the new unit.
  • We've received a little interest from mainstream media in the past. Should we approach these organisations to try and get some coverage? Perhaps even more relevant now given the 'siliconroundabout' hype.

Advertising

Demonstrations

  • Would be nice to have some kind of project display area to showcase what kind of things are done at the space. Projects with immediate appeal:
    • Anything Kinect related
    • The Quadcopter build
    • Lasercut stuff - There have been some beautiful builds lately: puzzle box, Tetris/Mario pieces etc.
    • 3D printed stuff - some members are building RepRaps currently?

Promotional materials

  • Free Hackspace keyrings?

Food & drink

  • Licensed bar
  • Unusual beers
