Triangle Hackers

This group was originally formed to discuss the formation of a hackerspace in the triangle. Since the group's formation, interest has been sparked in every vertex of the Triangle. Our mission changed from creating one mega-hackerspace to creating separate (but equal) hackerspaces throughout the area. Our hope is that by creating multiple spaces in the area, Triangle hackerspaces will be both accessible and convenient for professionals, students, and hobbyists throughout the area.

Hackerspaces (see http://hackerspaces.org) are interdisciplinary creative communities made up of hobbyists, makers, technologists, artists, teachers, and learners throughout the area.

A hackerspace is a physical location where people from different backgrounds, skill sets, and interests, can join together to collaborate on projects, share ideas, and learn from each other. Hackerspaces are member-driven, community/member-funded, 24x7 hubs of creativity, with an emphasis on stretching the limits of the way we think.

Things to Know:

- EVERYONE is welcome. No exceptions.

- Hackerspaces are "Do-ocracies" -- your input is valuable and also directly influential in the evolution of your local hackerspace.

- We currently have a hackerspace in Downtown Durham at 331 W. Main St. -- Come visit!

- We have people interested in starting hackerspaces in all areas of the Triangle. Get involved if you're hoping for a hackerspace closer to home!

"Hello - I moved down to the Triangle almost two years ago from the NY/NJ metro area. I have diverse interests and enjoy getting involved with all types of creative projects. Since I work from home I would love the chance to meet other creative folks."

"Have been tinkering with software since I was 6. I was the kid that got made fun of for bringing an MS-DOS operating manual to my 5th grade reading day. All I can say about that is that my tastes have evolved. :p"
