**Hackerdome**: Let's all hack together!

Working at home is great -- //except when it isn't//.

  - Wish you had some peers to bounce ideas off of?
  - Missing the social aspect of going to lunch with someone besides the cat?
  - Find your productivity slipping due to excessive reading of LWN or Reddit?
  - Does your work never end because you're always "at the office" (i.e. your house?)
  - Maybe a semi-regular schedule would kind of be nice, after all?

Hackerdome is an effort to create a shared primary work environment based not on who's paying your salary, but what we're all working on -- open source and Linux.

It's like a beering, except it's every day and everyone is working. :)

Here's the deal. Hackerdome provides:

  * Co-workers who will miss you if you don't show up
  * big whiteboards
  * Secure shared office space
  * Fast internet/wifi not behind a firewall
  * An assigned long-term desk to work at (i.e. your dev box should live here)
  * Located centrally in Portland, accessible via public transportation
  * Funding structure based on employer or other funding, not you (highly TBD)

**Call to action**

Do you:

  * work from home
  * work on Linux
  * willing to commit to at least 3 days/week working from Hackerdome?

Then please add your info below. If this is going to go anywhere, we need a critical mass of people (6-10?) who will commit to make this their primary workplace, before we can seriously consider moving forward.
