Member Guide

Welcome to Splat Space! This guide is an effort to consolidate in one place a list of member privileges, responsibilities, and frequently asked questions.

What is Splat Space?

Splat Space is a hackerspace. It's a place where people with common interests get together to discuss and hack on projects - a kind of techie clubhouse. Usually, our projects and discussion are technology-related, but not always.

Project Space

Individual members can use the space to work solo, or they can start or participate in any project. The only hard constraint on projects worked on in the space is that they should be legal. The only soft constraint on projects is that those working on them should be willing to share knowledge and involve other members. Splat Space doesn't claim any ownership of "intellectual property" developed in the space, but encourages its members to share their work.

Meeting Place

In addition to hosting its own weekly open meetings, Splat Space has hosted Meetups and talks for groups across the Triangle. Any organization that has the invitation of a member has the invitation of Splat Space. To date, we've hosted [trizpug.org TriZPUG], TriLUG, and others.

Educational Space

Recently, our members have collaborated with the Durham Public School, a website that lets people propose and create ad-hoc classes on any topic. Several classes that began as ideas on the Durham Public School website were hosted at Splat Space.

Getting Here

Splat Space is a hackerspace in the basement of the Snow Building at 331W. Main Street, Durham, NC. We're right under Beyu Café.
