If you were to run a workshop what would it be?

Discussions on anything related to the evolving idea of Saskatoon's first "makerspace". What is a makerspace to you? What should it be called? What's the charter?

Could one say you suck at solder sucking?

I think that might actually be a great idea. Does anyone have advanced soldering experience? I can provide a projector we could hook up to a camera for close-up detail

I'm all for a soldering tips and workshops. I can get by, but I'm by no means proficient.

As far as a workshop idea that's becoming more apparent to me with the recent facebook discussion re: IRC ;

An IRC workshop, introduction to those only barely (if at all) familiar with it. A bit of history (wikipedia synopsis even), and some explanation and examples of how people can make IRC fit the way they use the internet, rather than forcing them to learn a new communication medium;

- clients (mirc, irssi)
- use of irc with shells for 'permanent residency'
- bouncers, proxies, multi-client use on the same root instance
- etc.

I'd be willing to do this one if there'd be interest. I admit I always assume that everyone's as proficient, familiar, and addicted to IRC as I am - so I find it hard to guess at interest levels with all you engineering nerds :)
