==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.
==Potential Funding Sources==* Member dues - Ideally, we would be able to pay all monthly infrastructure expenses without external support* [http://kickstarter.org Kickstarter] - Potentially useful for raising startup funds* [[SEC|Student Engineers' Council]] - The SEC allocates a sizable budget, but accepting any VT funding may come with strings attached.* Corporate sponsorship ==Desirable Infrastructure Features of Physical Space==
* Proximity to campus/[[Blacksburg Transit]] lines
* '''Low cost'''
* Fast (symmetric) internet connection, i.e. not NTC
* High-power service panels (220V? 20A?)
* Noise tolerance
* Ventilation
* Floor space
* Kitchen? (Some hackerspaces have found this useful)
