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.
Not a lot to report this week, as everyone was busy getting ready for Liverpool MakeFest. However, as we were so busy with events we cleared out Room 29 and got some desks set up in time for the bioplastics workshop. It’s not the finished set up, but does bring that room into more use.
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.

The DoES Liverpool to-do list is stored in the issues of our Somebody Should repository on github. Head over there if there’s something you’d like to report, or if you want to help out fixing things.
