I like the idea, but not any time soon. The community around this
mailing list is still too small to make that practical.

Last January I suggested organizing a field trip to one or more hardware
hacking places of interest. That would have been free and only requiring
an hour or two to attend, but there wasn't enough interest.

A workshop would likely have to charge something to cover costs, and
would probably need a minimum of 5 to 10 people to commit to attending.
We'd need 10 to 100 times more list subscribers to have a chance of
finding that many participants.

The good news is that there are other local organizations that are
already providing this sort of service.
