Dale Dougherty Introducing Make a Makerspace Conference

As this weekend’s conference on How to Make a Makerspace is getting started, I had a chance to speak with Dale Dougherty. He briefly summed up why we need makerspaces, and what we might look forward to from this emerging community.

This weekend, nearly 200 representatives of established and burgeoning makerspaces from twenty states and three countries, have assembled at Artisans Asylum in Somerville, MA. We will be reporting on the event here, and will have more complete coverage on the Make a Makerspace site.
