I am absolutely FLOORED by the response to the hacker space idea. I’m so used to Lexington (as a community) being apathetic and cultureless that it startles me when people show up excited for things. For a meeting announced on blogs/tweeted/transmitted by word of mouth, with a fairly specific interest group to generate 35-40 enthusiastic people, and interested notes from at least a dozen others is remarkable. It sounds like it’s going to move quickly, there’s a Google group already set up to discuss details, and on the strength (financial commitment) of the freelance programmers/web developers looking to use it as an office during the day alone there may be an actual physical space in the next few days.
