<hr />
<div>= Class Offerings =<br />
<br />
Since this should (hopefully!) be an ongoing topic, this page is a place to collect ideas for classes that can be offered. When it gets too long and/or some of the classes are actually run, somebody should update it with links to individual class pages, and generally clean it up. Until then, it can serve as brainstorming space.<br />
<br />
'''NOTE:''' Please include a name/contact for the person who came up with the idea in question, and anyone who's offered to teach.<br />
<br />
== Intermediate Circuit Design / Analysis ==<br />
A class or ongoing workshop on circuit analysis / design for intermediate level folks would be awesome. I recently went through the exercise of scouring the NYC continuing ed scene for something like this, and came up pretty empty. (Eventually Joel Murphy stepped in and set one up from scratch, which was great - but at just 5 sessions, it's left me wanting more.)<br />
<br />
The idea would be to transfer some of the practical knowledge that people who actually do this stuff every day have ("how to analyze an op-amp circuit", "amplifier design", "what's this circuit doing?") to<br />
those of us who understand the principles, but are weak on working knowledge. <br />
<br />
It could be an ongoing thing, where an instructor (or rotating pool of instructors) would pick a circuit or three each week for group discussion & analysis.<br />
<br />
Idea: Mitch Deoudes, who would also volunteer to moderate / organize, if someone smart would volunteer to teach.<br />
<br />
== Bike Maintenance / Repair / Modding ==<br />
<br />
If anyone's interested I could do a bike maintenance/repair/modification session. It could be setup where someone brings in their bike and we overhaul it while I explain what we're doing.<br />
<br />
Idea / teacher: Joe Sadusk<br />
<br />
== Sewing ==<br />
<br />
I'm not sure who mentioned this, but: sewing. I'd be psyched to learn how to use a machine, and even psyched-er if anyone knows about CNC-controlled sewing stuff.<br />
<br />
Idea: Probably not me (Mitch Deoudes). Two people who indicated on the list that they know such things: Ceren Ercen, Chris Stratton<br />
<br />
== FPGA Development ==<br />
<br />
Using inexpensive dev boards (hopefully donated), teach a class on basic Verilog/VHDL using a standard dev environment (Xilinx most likely since I've gotten large donations from them before, or possibly Altera). Use the HacDC workshop as a template and build on that: http://wiki.hacdc.org/index.php/FPGA_Workshop <br />
<br />
We can start with the basics of computer architecture and try to implement a chip as a class. We can either use exisitng IC code from opencores or develop our own. We can play with existing Verilog and VHDL such as the games at http://www.fpgaarcade.com/.<br />
<br />
Idea: [[User:Obscurite | Daniel Packer]] and at least a couple of others have mentioned an interest in FPGA development or teaching about it. I have no professional experience with FPGA work, just some hobby playtime.<br />
<br />
== Basic Robotics ==<br />
<br />
Look at basic robotics based on analog (see BEAM or braitenberg vehicles) or digital (arduino, AVR, pic, etc.) microcontroller based robots. Look at the basics of motor control (h bridges, etc.). Build a basic bot from scrap/kit parts. <br />
<br />
Idea: [[User:Obscurite | Daniel Packer]], though I'm hardly the most qualified... anyone else want to help?<br />
<br />
== Lockpicking ==<br />
<br />
Idea: [[User:Obscurite | Daniel Packer]] -- Schuyler Towne as agreed to come do a workshop with us!<br />
<br />
== Keysigning Party ==<br />
<br />
Overview of public key cryptography and a practical tutorial for generating and using a public/private PGP key followed by a social exchange of PGP keys (known as keysigning) which expands a "web of trust". It's great to have these a few times a year because it combines crypto, socializing and putting names to faces, building trust and familiarity, and enabling privacy.<br />
<br />
Idea: [[User:Obscurite | Daniel Packer]] -- I've done this at HacDC a couple of times and it was a lot of fun. Would be great to do this with someone with deep crypto experience or who just is really into PGP. Any takers?<br />
<br />
== Biosignals & Microvolt Analog Signals ==<br />
<br />
Let's build and analyze a basic microvolt amplifier for bio signals. Covers basic theory but is a practical hands on workshop on building a basic analog amplifier of the type used to process EKG or other biosignals. Covers basics of analog signal processing (filtering noise and use of instrumentation amp IC). We can use a laptop set up with scope software or a scope for visualization, or build a holter-type monitor in a subsequent class with an LCD display.<br />
<br />
Idea: [[User:Obscurite | Daniel Packer]] -- I'd been working on this for a while and then stopped but would like to pick it back up and work with others on this. Chethan for example is an expert on biosignals processing. <nudge nudge><br />
<br />
== 3D software/OpenSCAD/Sketchup ==<br />
<br />
Would be good to do a quick tutorial on hints and tricks with OpenSCAD. From my limited experience, it seemed like it was easy to do simple things but there are a lot of tricks which would be very helpful for more complicated items. Presumably we have the class and then print the stuff to take home.<br />
<br />
Idea: [[User:Jonathan | Jonathan]] -- I've used this software some but someone else should really do this who really knows what he/she is doing</div>Jonathanhttps://wiki.hackmanhattan.com/index.php?title=RC/Autonomous_Aircraft&diff=332RC/Autonomous Aircraft2011-10-01T21:54:33Z<p>Jonathan: </p>

<div>== Gear We Need ==<br />
<br />
'''MUST GET'''<br />
*Electronic Test Equipment<br />
**Oscilloscopes + more probes<br />
**Multi-meters<br />
**[[http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/bus-pirate-v3-assembled-p-609.html?cPath=61_68 Bus Pirate]] ($30) and/or similar simple SPI/I2C adapter/logic analyzer<br />
*Power Supplies<br />
*Soldering & SMT <br />
** iron <br />
*** Metcal or possible an Aoyue (maybe the 2900?) would be nice. Aoyue is inexpensive enough we could get two (or one to evaluate)<br />
** Binocular zoom microscope (Does anyone have an idea on how to source one of these, possibly ebay?)<br />
** tweezers and dental picks<br />
** flux pen<br />
** solder<br />
*Power Tools<br />
#Drill press - smaller bench model or larger one? Depends on where we want to put it $90-200<br />
#drill bits index (there's a standard set of fractional, number and letter drills)<br />
#Lathe - 9"x20" might be a good size, and could go in the "hallway" as long as it has an internal drive headstock, though if we allocate more space a heavy 10" or larger can take 5c collets but will be a challenge to get up the stairs. Probably anywhere from $500 (if lucky) to $1500, plus some tooling expenditures down the road.<br />
#Bandsaw - do we try to get one with the extra reducer to get it almost into light metal cutting range?<br />
#Palm sander<br />
#Bench sander<br />
#Jigsaw<br />
#Screw guns/drills<br />
*Toolchest with:<br />
#Screw driver set, both regular and miniature<br />
#Hex Key set, both regular and miniature<br />
#Torx Key set, both regular and miniature, also "security" torx<br />
#Nibbler<br />
#Wire cutters<br />
#Wire strippers<br />
#Pliers<br />
#Hammer<br />
#Chisels<br />
#Crescent wrench<br />
#Clamps<br />
#Hacksaw, perhaps jeweler's saw frame, also "Atlas track saw" (cheap, made for HO/N train track)<br />
#Files (8" or 10" and then a needle file assortment)<br />
*Workbench with vise<br />
*Computing<br />
#Computers even older (especially if they have real parallel ports for I/O hacks)<br />
#Monitors - preferably LCD<br />
#Keyboards and mice<br />
#USB extensions and hubs<br />
#Networking (cables, router, etc)<br />
*Desks<br />
*Chairs<br />
*Length measurement (Tape measure, ruler, caliper)<br />
*Extension cables and power strips<br />
*Trash can<br />
*Safety gear (eyes, ears, hands, dustmasks)<br />
*First aid kit<br />
*Sewing machines, pref. older metal ones <br />
<br />
'''SHOULD GET'''<br />
*Printer/Paper/Ink <br />
*Hook-up wire (can often source from scrap network cable)<br />
*Breadboards<br />
*Basic electronic components (resistors, leds, capacitors) in a cabinet or tackle box<br />
*SMT resistor and capacitor assortment "book" [[https://www.adafruit.com/products/441]] $40<br />
*Ventilation fan<br />
<br />
<br />
'''HOPE AND PRAY TO GET'''<br />
*laser - "Lasersaur" open source project looks interesting. <br />
*CNC - as a separate machine or an add-on to manual lathe / mill?<br />
-- -- Build a DIYLILCNC? Buy a Shopbot? Other types?<br />
<br />
*Lasercutter -- at the 30 september meeting someone mentioned that 80W was better but they are all crazy expensive.<br />
*Shopbot -- these look like they go for $10k - $15k, but we might be able to get a better deal. We should figure out how this compares to a laser cutter. It looks like it is significantly more versatile and the manufacturer is hackerspace friendly.<br />
<br />
*3D Printer<br />
*Wall monitor with DVD, webcam and speakers<br />
*Projector<br />
Please add to this list<br />
*Ladyada has a good list of [http://www.ladyada.net/library/equipt/ Electronic lab stuff]<br />
<br />

I've got too many tools to list. As a recovering shop-a-holic with a fetish for high-quality hand tools, I am swamped and could really use some help sorting through my stuff and deciding what to donate and/or lend. Anyone with the time and know-how should feel free to email me.<br />
<br />
'''Jonathan'''<br />
*Possibly an oscilloscope<br />
*Lots of books</div>Jonathanhttps://wiki.hackmanhattan.com/index.php?title=Telescopes/Astronomy&diff=326Telescopes/Astronomy2011-09-30T02:44:21Z<p>Jonathan: </p>
<hr />
<div>- Has anyone ever made a telescope? I'm not interested in grinding mirrors, but maybe something a step above that. There is some fun stuff to build and it is not too expensive. We might be able to use our collective arduino/stepper motor knowledge to help point/track objects. Of course we also have to find someplace without a ton of light pollution... that might be harder than the building part...</div>Jonathanhttps://wiki.hackmanhattan.com/index.php?title=Telescopes/Astronomy&diff=325Telescopes/Astronomy2011-09-30T02:42:56Z<p>Jonathan: </p>

<hr />
<div>This page outlines the steps taken to start up Hack Manhattan as an organization. As part of the Hack Manhattan organizational culture we document and publish the paperwork needed to register with the local and federal government as well as our bylaws and articles of incorporation. We hope these administrative pages serve not only to provide a historic record for our hacker space, but also to help other organizations with the initial steps in getting started. The following link was a useful reference for this entire process: http://bit.ly/FormingANYNonProfit<br />
<br />
<br />
== Decide on our organization's name ==<br />
<br />
:a. Our name has to have one of the following: "Corporation," "Incorporated," "Limited" or the abbreviation of those words [We should get a lawyer to confirm this]<br /><br />
:b. Our name cannot match any other NY corporation or business. We can search our proposed names here: http://bit.ly/NYBusNameSearch <br /><br />
::b.i Proposed Names: <br /><br />
:::-Hack Manhattan <br /><br />
:::-Union<sup>2</sup><br /><br />
:::-Manhattan School for Technomancy and Related Dark Arts<br /><br />
:::-Manhattan Mad Scientists<br /><br />
:::-Create! Manhattan<br /><br />
:::-Urban Garage<br /><br />
:::-Gotham Garage<br /><br />
:::-[Please add suggestions here]<br />
<br />
== Appoint the Board of Directors ==<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. There has to be at least 3 directors, all of whom have to be 18 years or older <br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. There are a number of different laws on the books pertaining to the board of director here: http://bit.ly/NYNonProfitDirsLaws<br />
<br />
== Drafting the Hack Manhattan Bylaws ==<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. Here's a good resource on creating bylaws - http://bit.ly/NonProfitByLawsChecklist<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. Some of the basics the bylaws should cover are: <br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.i The existence and responsibilities of nonprofit corporate officers and directors <br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.ii The size of the board of directors and the manner and term of their election <br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.iii How and when board meetings will be held, and who may call meetings <br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.iv How the board of directors will function <br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.v How monies will be handled for expenses, events, projects and resources<br />
<br />
c. Here are some sample bylaws: http://bit.ly/SampleByLaws1 & http://bit.ly/SampleByLaws2 & http://bit.ly/SampleByLaws3 & http://bit.ly/SampleByLaws4<br />
<br />
d. For better or worse, here are some bylaws for known and successful hackerspaces:<br />
<br />
* [http://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Bylaws Noisebridge ]<br />
* [http://wiki.hacdc.org/index.php/Bylaws HacDC]<br />
* [http://i3detroit.com/wi/index.php?title=Bylaws i3 Detroit]<br />
* [http://metalab.at/wiki/images/3/36/Metalab_statuten.pdf Metalab (in German sadly)]<br />
* [http://community.c-base.org/document/laws-registered-association-c-base C-base]<br />
<br />
== Incorporating with the State of New York ==<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. Here's a good walk through of how to incorporate with the state of NY http://bit.ly/NYNonProfInCorpWalkThrough<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The certification of incorporation's third paragraph is to state Hack Manhattan's purpose. It should answer the following questions:<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.i Why is the corporation being formed or what does the corporation intend to accomplish? <br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.ii Who will benefit from the corporation's accomplishments? <br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.iii How will the corporation achieve its purpose? <br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.iv Example Statement of Purpose: <br /><i>Answer for Q1: Hack Manhattan is formed to provide a physical and social space for individuals interested in all things hacking. <br />Answer for Q2:Hack Manhattan will benefit primarily those members who join Hack Manhattan. Those members who join Hack Manhattan will benefit from having a location and resources to work on hacking projects, to meet other people, and to teach and learn from each other. Members of the general public may benefit from Hack Manhattan by attending the events when non-members are permitted to attend. <br />Answer for Q3: Hack Manhattan will provide these benefits to both members and non-members by renting a space in Manhattan to be the Hack Manhattan Base of Operations. Hack Manhattan will create and host events, classes, lectures, and excursions.</i><br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. Include language for later application to the IRS for federal tax exempt status <br /><br />
[I am lost on this section. Page 48 of the following IRS publication explains some of what is to be included in this paragraph: http://1.usa.gov/IRSTaxExemptInstructions]<br />

<div>I am a lapsed EE...<br />
<br />
I'm interested in doing any of the following:<br />
<br />
-3D printers (especially along the lines of an ultimaker or fablicator)<br />
<br />
-CNC machine<br />
<br />
-Robotics<br />
<br />
-Arduino stuff<br />
<br />
-PIC microcontrollers<br />

<hr />
<div>Many people at the 9/20 meeting expressed interest in 3D Printers, CNC's etc<br />
<br />
== Possibilities ==<br />
<br />
<br />
'''-- 3D Printer --'''<br />
<br />
- Maybe several of us would be interested in pooling cash to purchase a 3D printer?<br />
<br />
- Also would welcome thoughts on the different models of 3D printers. Maybe we want to experiment with several or make our own variant? In addition to the makerbot, the [http://www.ultimaker.com Ultimaker] and [http://www.fablicator.com Fablicator] (website temp down) looked really cool and had great quality at the NY MakerFaire.<br />
<br />
- Dual Extrusion -- the new Makerbot TOM MK7 supports this. Anyone interested in experimenting with it?<br />
<br />
- Question: could a budget extrusion machine platform be made by stacking the axis from a discarded inkjet on top of the slide from a discarded full page scanner? A z axis and extruder would of course still be needed. Some printer carriages are not that stable in tilt though, having only one round linear rail and rubbing against something for stabilization. Do extruder machines exert any substantial force on their carriages? Is the Z axis get used only when changing layers or also for tool up/down? Could a slow and perhaps backlash-prone (thus unidirectional) Z axis be complemented by some sort of short range (perhaps solenoid) tool lift mechanism?<br />
<br />
'''-- CNC Machine --''' <br />
<br />
- Anyone interested in building a CNC like the DIYLILCNC? [http://diylilcnc.org diylilcnc.org] They are coming out with the v 2.0 plans sometime soon, maybe October.<br />
<br />
- Other versions include the [http://www.shapeoko.com Shapeoko] and the [http://www.mydiycnc.com Mydiycnc] but I (Jonathan) don't know much about them yet.<br />
<br />
- More stuff put something here- (feel free to totally rewrite, rename, re-imagine this)<br />
<br />
== Interested People ==<br />
* [[user:Cstratton|Chris Stratton]]<br />
** Past experience with inkjet/powder 3D Printing Group at MIT, also hacked on some CNC machine tool conversions<br />
** Moderate interest in a access to a machine with a build volume the size of an adult human foot<br />
** Eager to help with with any DIY machine project regardless of build volume/capabilities<br />

<br />
- Maybe several of us would be interested in pooling cash to purchase a 3D printer?<br />
<br />
- Also would welcome thoughts on the different models of 3D printers. Maybe we want to experiment with several or make our own variant? In addition to the makerbot, the [http://www.ultimaker.com Ultimaker] and [http://www.fablicator.com Fablicator] (website temp down) looked really cool and had great quality at the NY MakerFaire.<br />
<br />
- Dual Extrusion -- the new Makerbot TOM MK7 supports this. Anyone interested in experimenting with it?<br />
<br />
- Question: could a budget extrusion machine platform be made by stacking the axis from a discarded inkjet on top of the slide from a discarded full page scanner? A z axis and extruder would of course still be needed. Some printer carriages are not that stable in tilt though, having only one round linear rail and rubbing against something for stabilization. Do extruder machines exert any substantial force on their carriages? Is the Z axis get used only when changing layers or also for tool up/down? Could a slow and perhaps backlash-prone (thus unidirectional) Z axis be complemented by some sort of short range (perhaps solenoid) tool lift mechanism?<br />
<br />
'''-- CNC Machine --''' <br />
<br />
- Anyone interested in building a CNC like the DIYLILCNC? [http://diylilcnc.org diylilcnc.org] They are coming out with the v 2.0 plans sometime soon, maybe October.<br />
- Other versions include the [http://www.shapeoko.com Shapeoko] and the [http://www.mydiycnc.com Mydiycnc] but I (Jonathan) don't know much about them yet.<br />
<br />

<div>I am a lapsed EE...<br />
<br />
I'm interested in doing any of the following:<br />
<br />
3D printers (especially along the lines of an ultimaker or fablicator)<br />
CNC machine<br />
Robotics<br />
Arduino stuff<br />
PIC microcontrollers<br />
<br />
My attention span is too short for software but occasionally I am trying to learn python and iphone programming. I like assembly but have never really liked C.</div>Jonathanhttps://wiki.hackmanhattan.com/index.php?title=3D_Printing&diff=2803D Printing2011-09-26T00:49:08Z<p>Jonathan: /* Interested People */</p>

<hr />
<div>This page outlines the steps taken to start up Hack Manhattan as an organization. As part of the Hack Manhattan organizational culture we document and publish the paperwork needed to register with the local and federal government as well as our bylaws and articles of incorporation. We hope these administrative pages serve not only to provide a historic record for our hacker space, but also to help other organizations with the initial steps in getting started. The following link was a useful reference for this entire process: http://bit.ly/FormingANYNonProfit<br />
<br />
<br />
== Decide on our organization's name ==<br />
<br />
:a. Our name has to have one of the following: "Corporation," "Incorporated," "Limited" or the abbreviation of those words [We should get a lawyer to confirm this]<br /><br />
:b. Our name cannot match any other NY corporation or business. We can search our proposed names here: http://bit.ly/NYBusNameSearch <br /><br />
::b.i Proposed Names: <br /><br />
:::-Hack Manhattan <br /><br />
:::-Union<sup>2</sup><br /><br />
:::-Manhattan School for Technomancy and Related Dark Arts<br /><br />
:::-Manhattan Mad Scientists<br /><br />
:::-[Please add suggestions here]<br />
<br />
== Appoint the Board of Directors ==<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. There has to be at least 3 directors, all of whom have to be 18 years or older <br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. There are a number of different laws on the books pertaining to the board of director here: http://bit.ly/NYNonProfitDirsLaws<br />
<br />
== Drafting the Hack Manhattan Bylaws ==<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. Here's a good resource on creating bylaws - http://bit.ly/NonProfitByLawsChecklist<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. Some of the basics the bylaws should cover are: <br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.i The existence and responsibilities of nonprofit corporate officers and directors <br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.ii The size of the board of directors and the manner and term of their election <br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.iii How and when board meetings will be held, and who may call meetings <br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.iv How the board of directors will function <br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.v How monies will be handled for expenses, events, projects and resources<br />
<br />
c. Here are some sample bylaws: http://bit.ly/SampleByLaws1 & http://bit.ly/SampleByLaws2 & http://bit.ly/SampleByLaws3 & http://bit.ly/SampleByLaws4<br />
<br />
d. For better or worse, here are some bylaws for known and successful hackerspaces:<br />
<br />

* [http://wiki.hacdc.org/index.php/Bylaws HacDC]<br />
* [http://i3detroit.com/wi/index.php?title=Bylaws i3 Detroit]<br />

* [http://community.c-base.org/document/laws-registered-association-c-base C-base]<br />
<br />
== Incorporating with the State of New York ==<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. Here's a good walk through of how to incorporate with the state of NY http://bit.ly/NYNonProfInCorpWalkThrough<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. The certification of incorporation's third paragraph is to state Hack Manhattan's purpose. It should answer the following questions:<br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.i Why is the corporation being formed or what does the corporation intend to accomplish? <br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.ii Who will benefit from the corporation's accomplishments? <br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.iii How will the corporation achieve its purpose? <br /><br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b.iv Example Statement of Purpose: <br /><i>Answer for Q1: Hack Manhattan is formed to provide a physical and social space for individuals interested in all things hacking. <br />Answer for Q2:Hack Manhattan will benefit primarily those members who join Hack Manhattan. Those members who join Hack Manhattan will benefit from having a location and resources to work on hacking projects, to meet other people, and to teach and learn from each other. Members of the general public may benefit from Hack Manhattan by attending the events when non-members are permitted to attend. <br />Answer for Q3: Hack Manhattan will provide these benefits to both members and non-members by renting a space in Manhattan to be the Hack Manhattan Base of Operations. Hack Manhattan will create and host events, classes, lectures, and excursions.</i><br />
<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c. Include language for later application to the IRS for federal tax exempt status <br /><br />
[I am lost on this section. Page 48 of the following IRS publication explains some of what is to be included in this paragraph: http://1.usa.gov/IRSTaxExemptInstructions]<br />
