[iRail] The Hub - an idea

Dear all,

I believe that, at iRail, we have a very particular mix of hackers,
professionals, free-lancers, students, entrepreneurs... which are all
enthusiastic about creating a better comfort for day-to-day tasks (such
as of course, daily mobility). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think we
may call «our community» something unique, and that's something we
should cherish.

Since our organisation is a mix between a living lab and an incubator
for start-up ideas, I got to think we should move our office from the
cloud to somewhere physical. Maybe we should have a real location where
we can meet, do work-shops, help others, work, have meetings, volunteer,
organise iRail Summer of code and so on.

This is an idea that can become reality rather quickly. I even have a
pretty cool opportunity for a location that I will keep to myself until
I know there is enough interest from you guys and girls. Would you be so
kind to answer these three questions in private/public (your choice)?

 * How many times per week/month would you come join us to work on your
own project in the center of Ghent?
 * Would you attend or organise workshops concerning mobility/apps/...?
 * Would you be willing to pay something in order to make this happen?
If yes, how much at max?

Kind regards,

Pieter
