Churba sez, "Leeds Hackspace is holding an Open Hack Day on Oct 10 at Old Broadcasting House, all tickets are free, with various events such as a Scrapheap Challenge, Micro-controller Workshop, the OpenLeeds Code-a-thon, and lightning talks, where anyone who knows about a topic can give a ten minute presentation about it. All are welcome, tickets are free, And Leeds Hackspace is Desperately Seeking New members, as they're one of the smaller hackspaces in the UK, and only recently started."

Awesome! Thanks for the shout out, Cory!
I'm a director of the Leeds hack space and one of the instigators of this event (and long time BoingBoing appreciator).
A bit more background for those who are interested: we're still raising funds to get the actual hack space venue off the ground (it ain't cheap!) so we're hoping to organise many of these smallish hack days around Leeds over the next few months. This event is hosted by NTI Leeds at Old Broadcasting House.
You might also like to check out the OpenLeeds.org.uk project, a do-it-ourselves civic initiative which aims to make available local, social and historic data for free reuse to benefit the city.
Can't wait 'til Saturday! Will try to take videos of stuff and let you all know how it goes.
Yet another fantastic geek event in Leeds and as usual hosted by the amazing people at NTI who keep making their venue available for every crazy idea we have be it a BarCamp, a photocamp, or anything interesting. Without NTI the Leeds geek scene would not be anything like as strong as it is.
