The Commonspace is happy to announce that we've been awarded a $2,200 grant from Team St. Louis to buy a Web cam and three Internet-connected computers running Linux. The computers will be available for free public use. This equipment will allow us to tie together what we do in cyberspace with what we do at our physical space. The Web cam will broadcast images of events at 615 North Grand on our Web site, and people will be able to use the computers to read our e-zine while they're at the space. The grant will also help us introduce more people to Linux and Open Source software. Team St. Louis is an initiative of St. Louis 2004.
Thank you Team St. Louis!

[Posted by dale on Fri., Dec 19, 2003 at 10:43 AM]Yeah, I mean what if someone blogs under a pseudonym? ;)

Then again, being able to see all those people drinking good coffee without actually having access to good coffee could drive me insane...
[Posted by Kurt Groetsch on Sun., Dec 28, 2003 at 7:05 PM]I'm hoping to have the computers and camera up and running by the beginning of March.
