Talk:Free Geek Museum

Where should we put the museum? The lab is fine for inventory and research, but we will need more space to display it. Some of the exhibit ideas I have will take quite a bit of space. Of course, this is hardly the only thing we're having to find space for at Free Geek. Any suggestions welcome.

white hole?

Hi Blaine,

It might be unreasonable for the short-term, but it seems there's some desire in the long-term for the White Hole to be a more public-friendly space. (I don't know what the space needs or possibilities are for Server Build, but I'm sure there are ideas out there.) I'd love to see the museum there, though hopefully it could coexist with public terminals etc.

Hi Pete,

I like the space of the white hole, but I see a problem. Have you seen the exhibits I want to have? I don't know if the white hole would be big enough for those museum exhibits by themselves, no way we could have all of them AND public terminals. I was thinking we could get more space behind the stage, and maybe in front of it as well.

Blaine-

I have looked at the wiki page, but didn't realize how much space this would take. Here is a thought: What about using the space behind the stage, and in addition, setting up a rotating exhibit for a more public and obvious place, like the Thrift store? Every month, put out a piece of equipment, wit a brief history and maybe a place for people to write questions, or share stories about similar equipment they once used? I think this might be a good attention grabber...if the musem's behind the stage, there will need to be something to get people interested enough to seek it out.
