Many hackerspaces participate in the use and development of free software, open hardware, and alternative media. They are often physically located in infoshops, social centers, adult education centers, or on university campuses, but may relocate to industrial or warehouse space when they need more room.

I suppose the first thing that I need to locate is a location.  From what I have read about other spaces, I am going to need some major room.  Next step is to create a group fund to allow for acquisition of tools and appropriate equipment. Will update post as more information or ideas come to mind.
