[dms-discuss] FYI: Area52 Makerspace update

[Timothy D Thatcher]

I was wondering what happened with A52, as the silence was a bit deafening.
It sounds to me like they may be focusing more narrowly on being some sort
of biotech incubator rather than a hackerlab or techshop kind of place. A
bit of a shame, imo, as it doesn't seem like it leaves a lot of room for
broader community involvement like a makerspace would have.
