[Imc-makerspace] Makerspace resources

[jamesrh]

Thanks to Gergana's great meeting notes from the last year's last meeting,
I realized I had promised to forward some "things to keep in mind when
starting a makerspace".  Here are some resources to use as we grow our
Makerspace:

This is a GREAT collection of resources, including a free ebook!
    http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Documentation
Some specific links supporting issues that that we have discussed recently;
http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Hackerspace_Software has resources for
occupancy notification and billing / money software and
http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Hackerspace_Software#Risk_Management has links
about insurance, release of liability forms, and by-law examples.

Other good links:
http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Metalab/Lessons_learned
http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Design_Patterns

There have been a few recent postings on the Makezine blog as well:

Enjoy,
