"To do the final far-out things" Our plan is to start as a simple hackerspace and grow into a distributed hands-on science and technology center. Our initial site will be in Austin, TX to open in 2010 and start a second site in Cheyenne, WY a year or so later. We will work with other hackspaces and museums to collect and share the efforts of our participants and other groups. Since a major focus of our efforts is hands-on and the Active Socratic Method we don't accept participants who are younger than 12 yrs. of age, or not in at least the 6th grade. Austin has a very successful children's museum and we strongly suggest you help them out. Business Organization Policies The main goal of CRC is to provide infrastructure to the Central Texas technology community. We don't take an active role in defining your projects or how you manage them. Our interest is in providing a nice environment, tools, and resources you need to execute your plans. **We do have a basic rule that governs all activities: No police, other LEA, firemen, EMTs, tax men, or other authority figures in a bad mood. If your project requires insurance, licenses, or needs to meet other regulatory requirements it is not CRC's responsibility to provide them.** Confusion Research Center respects the intellectual property of others and makes no claim to activities by participants. We strongly suggest considering public domain or one of the copyleft licenses. Confusion Research Center reserves all intellectual property rights to projects it sponsors or funds pursuant to any contracts or other agreements. How to participate now! If you're interested and in the local area please feel free to contact us and we can schedule a time to talk about your interests. We consider our outreach to be globally distributed so you don't need to be in Austin or Cheyenne to participate. If you want to dedicate 4-5 hours a week to some project or SIG, then we'd like to talk to you. We used to have a blog on Twine but as of 5-17-10 that service has been shut down and collapsed into the Evri semantic web project. We're currently looking at alternatives, including putting our servers online sooner. The bottom line, for the time being this is the primary site for any CRC information. [ - ]
