Welcome to the LVL1.org main wiki page.
Welcome! We're still filling out the wiki at a rapid clip, but you can get in on the discussion immediately via LVL1 Google Groups.
This wiki is for organizing our dream of creating a HackerSpace (Makerspace) in Louisville, Kentucky. If you do not know, a HackerSpace is a place where like-minded people can work on cool projects. It is community where you can learn to solder, work on some programming, build with wood or metal and collaborate with other engineers, artists, geeks and propeller-heads. We want this to be a fun place, but we also want it to be a place to work and learn.
The idea for this comes from the many HackerSpaces in Germany, Austria, New York, San Fransisco and others. It also was inspired by our trip last year to MakerFaire in San Mateo, California.
If this sounds like something you might like to be part of, please read up on this wiki, join in the conversation and let us know you are interested.
