I really liked the "old" Maker Faire, which was more focused on making stuff and not children or dressing up in vintage clothing (no offense, it's just not my thing). The fact that the city of San Mateo ran out of parking dosen't really give me the right vibe.
Is anyone aware of a similar event, but with more focus on things like chip vendor booths, demo pits for hardware projects, and a heavier hacker culture?
- nostrademons 15y agoIsn't this what organizations like TechShop or Hacker Dojo are for? People who are serious about making things usually spend their time...making things, and it takes more than one day a year to do that. The role of Maker Faire is to get people interested; once they are interested, most people look for something a little more long-term. BTW, both TechShop and Hacker Dojo were at Maker Faire, as were a number of other area organizations that make cool things.
