This is a page for the planning of a hackerspace in Blacksburg.
Name
The following names have been suggested for the hackerspace (feel free to add to this list!):
- Hacksburg
- Blacksburg Lab for Innovative Tinkering (BLIT)
- Blacksburg Lab for Objects (BLOb)
- Blacksburg Object Fabrication Hackerspace (BOFH)
Affiliation
Many interested parties have expressed interest in *not* being affiliated with Virginia Tech, as some planned activities may conflict with university policy. Many hackerspaces have become 501c3 non-profits, but this requires a significant amount of paperwork.
