Skill/Knowhow TeachorLearnorHelp User(s) Level Tell me more about it
Basic Lasercutting teach Molarch Basic I've had a small lasercutter for a year so if you have questions when starting out please feel free to ask and I'll try to help.
Video Mapping Help/Learn Dadabit Novice I would like to do a bit of video mapping to surfaces, tips tricks. Got a pocket projector to experiment with some starter software. let me know if you have a project related and want a co-mapper.
Basic electronics teach or (lets say help) Dadabit fair enough sensors, microcontrollers, connecting the system to computer software. If you want a colloboration and help for a nice project of yours I might hop in.
Basic electronics help alexrice variable PIC microcontrollers (rusty), AVR microcontrollers (basic), analogue electronics related to audio,
Oxy-fuel welding, brazing, silver soldering help / teach alexrice functional but not always pretty Have required equipment
Manual machining teach alexrice good Manual milling and turning on small lathes and mills, metric and imperial screw cutting
3D CAD Help/Teach/Learn brice novice Some basic experience on 3D mechanical CAD/drafting
Digital electronics Help/Teach/Learn brice intermediate multiplexing strategy/persistence of vision. Ardui-fu
Programming Help/Teach/Learn brice intermediate/advanced Particularly interested in learning about dynamic, interactive simulations in functional langages. (clojurescript+processing=dynamic simulation in your browser?) Can give introduction to programming on processing/arduino. Can contribute to code projects at any level of complexity.
Programming Help / Teach Martin_de_S Intermediate I'm a professional coder- I can help out with HTML/CSS/JS web coding, scripting languages, C++, C for Arduino, some Linux SH etc.
Arduino (software and electronics) Help / Teach Martin_de_S Intermediate I've spent a fair while playing with the Arduino and interfacing with other bits and pieces. If you want specific help with a project or are wondering what to do after blinking an LED I'll try to help out
Cool software Help / Teach Rich Wareham Can teach to any level I can help you with coding in almost any language. I'm very interested in designing cool bits of software to do cool things.
Signal Processing (more the old school variety) Help / Teach / (and certainly learn) Henry Gomersall Advanced I'm a full time signal processing engineer from an academic background. More the old school stuff (transforms, sparsity and the like) but I'm keen to improve my stats-fu.
Programming Help / Teach Henry Gomersall Intermediate Python and C (and getting them to work together!). A few years full time experience, but not quite a guru yet. (also Matlab, but I have strong feelings about that).
Programming Help / Teach Wojciech Meyer Any level I can do C, C++ equally good, but mostly OCaml these days (equally well we can do Haskell or Scheme). Up to pair programming.
Computers / Software Help / Teach / Learn Phil Cowans Advanced Mainly C/C++/Ruby, low level things, systems (esp. Linux), networking etc. Interested in machine learning, computer vision, graphics, things with matrices, etc.
Digital Electronics Learn / Stumble blindly with others Phil Cowans Beginner-ish Limited experience (and pretty rusty too), interested in embedded systems, microcontrollers, robotics, etc.
Machining Help / Learn Phil Cowans Beginner Generally keen to make something physical - happy to help out anywhere I can be useful.
Programming / Software Teach / Learn Chris Elsmore Intermediate I mostly use Python, JavaScript, ObjectiveC, and have some experience of Java & C. Always willing try and help, and learn new things!
Electronics / Hardware Help / Learn Chris Elsmore Intermediate Familiar with basic analogue & digital circuits, Arduino, as above, always willing try and help, and learn new things!
Metalwork, Machining and Woodwork Learn Chris Elsmore Beginner Haven't done any serious work since school, but I really enjoyed it, and would love to get back into it!
Metalwork Teach/Learn Roger Smith Hedgerow Engineer Orthodox and Unorthodox Engineering a speciality
MiG welding Help/Teach Simon Stirley Competent A lot of welding on cars and garage fabrications. Not always pretty, but solid!

I know we can't weld in the space yet, but happy to take things home and weld them for people in the meantime.

Embedded Software Help/Teach Simon Stirley Advanced Lots of experience with code that has to be small and/or fast. For PIC, Arduino, Windows CE and a multitude of devices.
Domestic and Commercial Electrics Help/Teach Brian Corteil Electrician I have worked as a Domestic and Commercial Electrician, for the last 26 years since leaving school in the late 80s. I'm happy to help with anything to do with mains voltages in Makespace or your projects.
Domestic and Commercial integrated security systems Help/Tech Brian Corteil Commission, install and design When not working as an Electrician, I work as an integrated Security systems engineer. Types of systems I have worked on include CCTV, Access Control, Security Alarms, Fire Alarms and intercoms.
Sewing and other usually girls things Help/Teach Anne Harrison Intermediate Don't like to be stereotypical, but I am a woman and proud of it! I'm certainly not an expert tailor and there are lots of things I haven't done, but I am very comfortable with a sewing machine and happy to share this skill along with many other things that may be considered feminine!
Metalwork Help/Teach Marko Cosic Advanced Making things from metal in workshops. Fabrication and welding, machining, finishing. Automotive and experimental equipment background.
Composites Help/Teach Marko Cosic Intermediate Making things from composites. Moulds/form manufacture, wet layups, prepregs, resin infusion, curing, cutting, finishing. UAV background.
Automotive Help/Teach Marko Cosic Advanced I can show you how to fix it or hack it. Bits I don't know much about are trimming interiors, low level CANbus diagnostics, and modern diesels. If Land-Rover, MX5, Jaguar, and/or LPGed you're in luck.
