- inamberclad 8y agoThis got posted on Hackaday a little while ago but Fran is apparently getting kicked out of her space. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLBhwR_WWB4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLBhwR_WWB4 And the Hackaday blurb: "FranLab is closing down! Fran is one of the hardware greats, and she’s being evicted. If you’ve got 2000sqft of workshop space in Philly you’d like to spare, you know who to talk to. There will, probably, be a crowdfunding thing going up shortly, and we’ll post a link when it’s up."
