Hi Lab List,<br>
<br>
I thought I'd stop lurking about unawares on the list and say hello. I'm<br>
moving up to Ottawa in August from Boston and I'd love to hang out and help<br>
out with what's been started so far in terms of a space and community for<br>
art & tech hybrid projects.<br>
<br>
A bit about me:<br>
<br>
For 7 years I was a part of an educational company and directed the building<br>
of a new school within the company for English language teaching in<br>
Cambridge, MA. We were pretty successful but I felt a big void in the lack<br>
of creativity in the job (my degree is in art-making).<br>
<br>
Shortly thereafter I joined a hackerspace in Somerville called Willoughby &<br>
Baltic and volunteered to curate the Dorkbot community, in which I became<br>
intensely involved. Dorkbot grew in size from 30 members to over 600 and it<br>
was through the group that I met my former business partners. My friends<br>
convinced me to quit my day job and start a company based on interactive<br>
design and art/tech projects.<br>
<br>
We founded DINO Interactive Studios and specialized in developing games and<br>
applications for the iPhone and iPad as well as interactive web experiences.<br>
We combined our efforts with a non-profit science and educational startup<br>
called Sprout and rented a space for our offices and tools that we also made<br>
available for free to the public. We had a bit of success in making games<br>
for the kids edutainment market and organized weekend-long project hacking<br>
and making events in conjunction with the Dorkbot community. Ultimately I<br>
decided to part ways with DINO as it was increasingly difficult for me to<br>
work remotely while I spent time in Ottawa (my bf is here and I wanted to be<br>
up here).<br>
<br>
Another fun project I'm involved in is the Awesome Foundation, which is a<br>
group of individuals giving micro-grants to fund innovative and atypical<br>
projects that usually get lost in the red tape of bureaucracy. Since it's<br>
inception over a year ago it's gone viral and others have established<br>
branches in NYC, Providence, San Francisco, London and now Ottawa with crazy<br>
smart amazing people.<br>
<br>
My whole point to to this rambling story is that I'd like to pick up where<br>
I'm leaving off in Boston and help grow and support the hacker/maker<br>
community in Ottawa. I'm convinced that random interesting people will come<br>
out of the woodwork and want to take part in DIY open source projects and<br>
use Arduinos and Processing as I've seen it with my own eyes here! Also, I'm<br>
looking for part time or full time work so if you know of any good<br>
opportunities please send my way.<br>
<br>
I'm findable on twitter @emdaniels and have a personal maker site at<br>
<a href="http://emilydaniels.com" target="_blank">emilydaniels.com</a>. Hopefully this can start a larger conversation and I can<br>
put my experience to good use when I'm up! I look forward to meeting you at<br>
the July 14th meeting or if you'd like to meet up before then I'll be in<br>
Ottawa from July 1st until the 21st!<br>
<br>
Emily<br>
