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'm have worked as an 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 including integrated security systems	Help/Tech	Brian Corteil	Commission, install and design	When not working as an Electrician, I work as a integrated Security systems engineer. Types of systems I have worked on include CCTV, Access Control, Security Alarms, Fire Alarms and intercoms.
