The Big Move

Did you hear, we’ve moved to The Tapestry, just off London Road. We’re open for business, but while we’re settling in we’re including a brief update on how things are going each week.

As you’ll have seen above, we’ve got one room completely finished and everything moved into it!

Things are pretty close with lots of the other rooms too – the kitchen is just waiting for some edging strip on the floor and electricity to be run to the water heater.Ā  The metal workshop has plywood flooring down, that needs the joins smoothing over and then painting, along with another coat on the walls.Ā  The floor in theĀ  main room is tantalizingly close to being done, thanks to lots of scrubbing and scraping from the community.Ā  Once the final quarter has been varnished, the assembling desks and laying out kit can commence!

We’ve almost got heating in the main room now – that should happen over the next couple of days (handily coinciding with the main room becoming ready), so the co-working will switch into that side (and some of the actual co-working space) to let them fit the heating in the events space and Room 29.

So things are moving on to building furniture and unpacking as well as scrubbing floors!Ā  Although there are floors in other rooms that still need some TLC, if that’s what you prefer to help with…Ā  something for everyone!

If you want to help out, check the DoES Move The Tapestry and DoES Move – Settling In labels on the Somebody Should issue list, or get in touch.Ā  We can definitely use whatever time you can spare!

Our Crowdfunder Campaign

To help pay for all the costs of the move weā€™re running a Crowdfunder campaign.Ā  We need your money and, more importantly, your help in getting word out about it.

We’re into the final hours of the campaign, and sooooo close to hitting the target.Ā  One final push and we can see whether we can get beyond the stretch goal even!

The Big Move

Did you hear, we’ve moved to The Tapestry, just off London Road. We’re open for business, but while we’re settling in we’re including a brief update on how things are going each week.

This week things have moved on lots!Ā  The wood and laser-cutting workshop is completely finished and looking awesome.

The kitchen has had vinylĀ  flooring fitted and also been plumbed in and units fitted, although we’re waiting for the electrician to run a feed to the water heater before we’ll have hot water.

There’s been lots of tidying and cleaning in the events room, which has been events room, office and kitchen for the past week, so it’s nice to be starting to expand out from that into the rest of the space.

In the main room, there’s been lots of work done on the floor.Ā  The floors in the space are the biggest remaining task (more on that in a moment) and it’s been great to see so many people from the community pitching in to help with that (and everything else).

There’s plywood down over the most uneven section of floor, and this week that will be getting carpeted.Ā  For the rest of the floor in the main room, we’ve been scrubbing (most of that is done now) and scraping off the old white paint, before giving it all a coat of varnish.Ā  We’re close to having half of it varnished now, and once that’s done it’ll be a huge leap forwards in the space being fully operational.

People are working on making the space great most evenings and over the weekends, and all help is gratefully received.Ā  Similarly if you can spare time during weekdays, we’re open for co-working and workshop users anyway and you’re welcome to do some decorating alongside them.

If you want to help out, check the DoES Move The Tapestry and DoES Move – Settling In labels on the Somebody Should issue list, or get in touch.

Our Crowdfunder Campaign

To help pay for all the costs of the move weā€™re running a Crowdfunder campaign.Ā  We need your money and, more importantly, your help in getting word out about it.

The eagle-eyed among you will have noticed an excellent development in this at the end of last week…

WE HIT OUR TARGET!!!!Ā  Thanks everyone!

Never one to rest on our laurels (and partly due to our discoveries about the flooring that we mentioned earlier), we’ve added a stretch target.

With just over a week to go, we’re extending our stretch target to a total of Ā£7250.

This extra money will be spent on making sure our new home is at its best for all of our visitors. More specifically, the flooring of the new space needs some TLC, having withstood many years of wear and tear, paint and dust. So we’re looking for money toĀ spend on:

  • Carpeting or lino where current flooring is not fit for use: Ā£1100
  • Some black-out blinds for our new events space so that our projector can be used at all times of the day: Ā£1150

Spread the good news and encourage your friends to help us reach the new target.Ā  If you’ve been holding off because there was plenty of time to pledge, now would be a good time to dust off your credit card šŸ™‚

Please share it with people you know, email them, tweet about it, post on Facebook or Instagramā€¦ it all helps, even if you think you donā€™t know many people, youā€™ll know different people.Ā  Plus if you tag the DoES Liverpool accounts in any of your social media posts it lets DoES and others share your post too, so giving us more impact than if you just copy one of the DoES posts.

So, get as many people as possible too visit http://bit.ly/DoEpicFunding!

The Big Move

So, this weekend was the Big Move itself!Ā  Thanks everyone who helped clean, pack, carry… and everything else over the past few days!Ā  Everything is now out of Gostins and over at the Tapestry, and as you’ll have seen we are now officially up and running in the new space.

We have plenty still to do before the move is all finished off, so any and all help still most welcome.

The painting is almost all done.Ā  The flooring and then laying things out are the big remaining tasks.Ā  The kitchen should be plumbed in this week, and the worst of the flooring covered in plywood and carpet (and vinyl in the kitchen).

If you want to help out, check the DoES Move The Tapestry and DoES MoveĀ  – Settling In labels on the Somebody Should issue list, or get in touch.

Our Crowdfunder Campaign

To help pay for all the costs of the move weā€™re running a Crowdfunder campaign.Ā  We need your money and, more importantly, your help in getting word out about it.

The campaign is going really well!Ā  We’re at 90% of our target with two weeks left to run!!!Ā  However, there’s nothing to stop us going over our target and making the space even better.Ā  In fact, there have been some unexpected extra costs, or at least, the opportunity for extra costs, if we want to make the floors top notch.Ā  So, we’re working on some stretch goals – keep an eye out for announcements on them as we get closer to our original target.

Please share it with people you know, email them, tweet about it, post on Facebook or Instagramā€¦ it all helps, even if you think you donā€™t know many people, youā€™ll know different people.Ā  Plus if you tag the DoES Liverpool accounts in any of your social media posts it lets DoES and others share your post too, so giving us more impact than if you just copy one of the DoES posts.

End. Of. An. Era. Goodbye Gostins, it’s been a fun 7 years. #weeknotes

A post shared by DoES Liverpool (@doesliverpool) on

APRIL FOOLS: UK Government Announces First Multi-million Pound Investment in UK Makerspace

Make sure you read to the end to find out full details of DoES Liverpool’s funding efforts, or TL;DR here:Ā http://bit.ly/DoEpicFunding

Chancellor David Lidington today put in place the final building blocks of his ā€œNorthern powerhouseā€ when he announced the UKā€™s firstĀ Maker Enterprise Zone would be here in Liverpool.

The Government is putting Ā£5m towards the DoES Liverpool move project ā€“ a collaboration between DoES Liverpool, The Tapestry and The Fabric District

DoES Liverpool will house and support new high-tech businesses around ā€œsensor technologiesā€. It will also support new and existing businesses doing UX testing, public transit, wearable technology, home made 3D printed prosthetics, spoken language translation, social enterprise support, and basically any small business that needs their support. I mean, why limit yourself!Ā 

Sensors are the crucial link between technological devices and the world around them, which is also incredibly important.Ā  Capturing data on a whole host of areas such asĀ temperature, humidity and pressure is really good, but then what do you do with that data? You interpret it, you present it, and you make sure people can understand it.

They can be used in everything from home security systems to medical technology and high-value manufacturing, donā€™t you know.

DoES Liverpool will help inventions go from the lab to the factory floor even faster, and act as a shop Ā window for foreign investment intoĀ Merseysideā€™s high tech start ups, as it has done for the last seven years


Mr Lidington told the ECHO: ā€œThe stuff being developed here is absolutely cutting edge.

It is better than anything else happening anywhere in the world, well apart from every other maker space. Whatā€™s the point in being ridiculously competitive and claiming to be the best when you canā€™t do it without the support of similar people around the world.

ā€œWe are all going to use the technologies being developed here and we are going to be able to say they were made inĀ Liverpool, with massive support from the maker community around the worldā€

Mr Lidington is allocating Ā£10.4m to upgrade the BT broadband provision in the centre of Liverpool, massively increasing the speeds available. A second 9600bps modem will sit alongside the existing 2400bps modem to provide speeds not seen anywhere else in the world, since 1991. Fortunately IX Liverpool and Baltic Broadband have independently installed a 10Gbps pipe which is available for use by people who actually want modern internet speeds.

Mr Lidington added: ā€œI said I wanted to create a Northern powerhouse. You can link great cities like Liverpool, Manchester and LeedsĀ together and create a real economic powerhouse.

ā€œAlternatively you could pay people who have no idea about these things hundreds of thousands to build a big overpriced building thatā€™s not fit for purpose, but whoā€™d do that eh?!”

The Chancellor also denied Liverpool was being left out of the proposed high speed rail projects, even though it was.

However, Mr Lidington insisted the increased capacity would benefit the whole of the North West.

He said: ā€œLiverpool is very much on the map. Not the one we have in Whitehall, but it seems to be on this one you just handed me. It says OpenStreetMap, whatā€™s that? Iā€™m confused, Iā€™m sure we told Ordnance Survey to remove Liverpool back in the 80s”

ā€œThe geographical area isnā€™t that different to Greater London but they are separate cities. One is called Liverpool and the other is called London. Hold on did I just say I was funding Liverpool, no.. wait.. that canā€™t be right, who crossed out London and wrote Liverpool. Did I sign that?! Someone call the bank and stop that cheque!”

Provost Professor Stephen Holloway, who led the bid from the University of Liverpool, said: Ā ā€œCreating a new space where ideas from ourĀ sensor research laboratories can be transformed Ā into new start-ups is a very exciting prospect for both universities and provides greatĀ opportunities them to skim the profits made by anyone that even walks past our buildings. We definitely thought we should have got the funding even though DoES Liverpool already did all this stuff on a shoestring budget.ā€

And Professor Robin Leatherbarrow, Ā who led the bid for JMU added: ā€œThis is a tremendous success for Liverpool and a superb exampleĀ of how our two universities can work together in an area where we each have considerable complementary strengths. Wait, I thought we won the money?!ā€


ONLY JOKING! Of course DoES Liverpool hasnā€™t been awarded millions in funding, and weā€™re definitely not bitter. We do currently have a funding drive going to help pay for our move to our amazing new space in the Tapestry building. After seven years running and helping new high-tech (and low-tech) businesses get started weā€™re looking forward to the next seven years and hope we can rely on your help to get us there! Find out more about that here, and tell your friends!

The Big Move

WE’RE MOVING TO THE TAPESTRY OVER THE EASTER WEEKEND!

Lots of progress and lots that we still need your help with!

The networking is almost finished – Mike and JR have been working tirelessly to flood the space with Cat6 cables, and the Internet feed is in (although not connected up yet).Ā  The building work will all be finished this week, with most of the walls already up and just a few still needing sanding before they’re ready to be painted.

There were a bunch of us in over the weekend painting, with good progress made on the meeting room and one side of the main space.Ā  Still the workshop rooms and the wall between the events room and Room 29 co-working to do.

We are vacating Gostins over the Easter weekend, so we need as many hands as we can get to help with everything that needs doing.

There will be people painting and prepping things at the Tapestry every evening this week, and there’ll be all manner of moving, painting and help needed on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.Ā  Let Jackie know what your availability is, or just turn up at The Tapestry any time after 10am any of the days over the weekend, or drop us a line at hello@doesliverpool.com.

There are lots of things to do, both with the move and in preparation for the move. If you want to help out, check the DoES Move The Tapestry label on the Somebody Should issue list, or get in touch.

Our Crowdfunder Campaign

To help pay for all the costs of the move we’re running a Crowdfunder campaign.Ā  We need your money and, more importantly, your help in getting word out about it.

We’ve got off to a good start and have hit 60% of our target already!Ā  There are three weeks left to run, but we’ll be entering the mid-campaign lull and so need to keep making noise about it and reaching out beyond the immediate community.

Please share it with people you know, email them, tweet about it, post on Facebook or Instagram… it all helps, even if you think you don’t know many people, you’ll know different people.Ā  Plus if you tag the DoES Liverpool accounts in any of your social media posts it lets DoES and others share your post too, so giving us more impact than if you just copy one of the DoES posts.

We’ll also be launching our Crowdfunder campaign this week to help pay for all the work that needs doing and to make the new DoES Liverpool even more epic! Keep an eye out on social media and the Google Group to hear when it goes live, then dig deep and spread the message far and wide!

We made an impressive start to moving things over, with lots of people volunteering on Saturday and Sunday to lift and shift.Ā  We got everything from the staging room taken across to the Tapestry and packed down the rest of DoES Liverpool to a bare-bones operating level.

With our move to the Tapestry looming, we’re including a brief update on how things are going each week.

As you will no doubt have seen, we’re moving into the help wanted phase, so if you can pack, carry, paint, drive… then we want you!

It will still be weeks before we leave our current home in Gostins, so don’t worry about coming in to use the facilities, but there’ll be less and less of the non-essentials knocking around as time goes on šŸ™‚

The toilets are now fitted in the new space, and so the landlord’s fit-out is into the final stretch with the electrician on site wiring up many, many sockets.

We’re also readying a crowdfunding campaign, so those of you who can’t come and paint can just shower us with riches instead so we can afford to make the next iteration of DoES Liverpool the best it can be.Ā  Keep an eye out for that at the start of next week!

There are lots of things to do, both with the move and in preparation for the move. If you want to help out, check the DoES Move The Tapestry label on the Somebody Should issue list, or get in touch.
