Do you enjoy tinkering with software or hardware?
Got a cool project you want help with, or want to help with some cool projects?
Live in or around Southampton?
Join us for our first meetup at 5pm on 13th June at The Crown Inn, Southampton!
We’re trying to start a regular meeting of people who enjoy creating or modifying software and/or hardware and want to meet other like-minded people. Experience is unnecessary – interest is all we require! Topics that we’re already interested in include: home automation/augmentation, robotics, circuit bends, programming, computer interfaces, wiimote hacking, Arduino, gadgets, mobile computing, PVR creation/improvement, programming, augmented reality, … so if you’re interested in any of these topics, or have another interest you want to share, why not join us?
If your interested in SoutHACKton, introduce yourself on our google group:

Wouldn’t it be great to have a “Hackerspace” in Southampton? A space hobbyists can go to do software programming and hardware hacking. The attendees could all share knowledge and help each other out in a fun and innovative environment.
The ultimate goal would be having an “office” somewhere in Southampton where members can drop in any time (within reason) and get to work on their project/just hang out with fellow hackers. (If you work from home you could potentially even work form the Hackerspace directly – it wouldn’t be so lonely!) This, however, is likely to take a while to set up as we need to get a number of interested people, not to mention the office space!
In the mean time, we’re looking at setting up a regular meeting of like minded people. If you’re interested in attending or helping us (sponsorship, coverage, office space, …), please get in contact. [UPDATE: You can now do so via our google group.]
There is no required skill level – whether you are a beginner, an expert or anywhere in between you are welcome to attend!
If you’re interested – get in contact!
