We currently have a project going to set up a hackspace in Southampton early next year. We’re talking with the council and various other helpful people, including the London Hackspace) to try and make it as awesome as we can. Watch this space for new updates.

If you’re interested in joining in then please jump over to our Google Group and join in the conversation. The more people who get involved, the better it will be for everyone.

Wouldn’t it be great to have a “Hackerspace” in Southampton? A space hobbyists can go to do software programming and hardware hacking. The attendees could all share knowledge and help each other out in a fun and innovative environment.

The ultimate goal would be having an “office” somewhere in Southampton where members can drop in any time (within reason) and get to work on their project/just hang out with fellow hackers. (If you work from home you could potentially even work form the Hackerspace directly – it wouldn’t be so lonely!) This, however, is likely to take a while to set up as we need to get a number of interested people, not to mention the office space!

In the mean time, we’re looking at setting up a regular meeting of like minded people. If you’re interested in attending or helping us (sponsorship, coverage, office space, …), please get in contact. [UPDATE: You can now do so via our google group.]

There is no required skill level – whether you are a beginner, an expert or anywhere in between you are welcome to attend!
