Towson Makerspace

To keep our doors open beyond August: We need regular volunteers. We need to raise an additional $8,600 in funding in the next 24 hours. If we do not meet these goals, 1. We will be selling off hardware. 2. We will be closing.

Thanks to all who have supported us for the last 2 years!!

If you don't have our new URL

If you don’t have our new URL

Moving to .org

While we love our .space address it has caused quite a fuss for software looking for .xx or .yyy so we are moving up our .org address.

towsonmaker.space will now redirect to towsonmakerspace.org

This is handled by one line in the apache configuration!

Redirect permanent / https://www.towsonmakerspace.org/

Linux “apt update; apt upgrade”

Git “git pull / checkout”
