<div>I think we could use a short-term, medium-term,

<br>
<u>Short-Term</u><br>
Let's throw a party where we charge for drinks and
ask for donations at the door. This should be good
for a few hundred dollars at least and bring new
people into the space. The Remix and Reboot
parties were big successes, and I think we could
replicate that every month. And unlike a lot of
other things that are necessary to keep the space
going (weekly meetings, safe-space working group,
security, etc.), throwing a party is FUN.<br>

<div><br>
Judging from the nice things I hear about the space
these days, I think it'd also be an opportunity to
attract a bunch of new people into trying out the
space. I'd do something like have a workshop weekend
perhaps with a party at the end of it. <br>

<div>Set up a "Hacker at Large" or "Friend of

people who want to support the space but don't
have any inclination to become a member. Right now
we don't have an option for those people, assuming
they exist.<br>

<div>Get more paying members. Building a community
takes a while, and building the <i>right</i>
community is even harder. Parties are a good,
low-pressure way to introduce people to the
community, and specialized groups keep them
involved long enough to understand how the
community as a whole works, and decide to take a
bigger role. Getting Five Minutes of Fame going
again would be cool, but I don't have the
bandwidth to lead that or do it on my own. If
someone else wants to take the lead, I could pitch
in a bit.<br>

I could be tempted! I would like a regular talking gig
again, although maybe we could rethink the format a
bit.<br>

your favorite hackerspace is going broke and
might not make rent in a few months. How has
this been solved before and what can be done
this time?<br>
