<p>> Hi all:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>> Lisa let me know about a maker faire at OMSI this weekend. If you can
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>> attend, this might give you an idea of what a make space could be. You
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>> can also learn, from this web site, what groups and companies are
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>> interested and working in this movement (yes a movement!). Kind of
