Hi All -
This is great timing because a few volunteers have been working for a couple months to prototype a new resource devoted to community labs and biohacker spaces.
Our plan was to get the prototype a little further along and the workflow ironed out a bit more until we invited feedback and contribution from the broader community. But, since there is some momentum around this idea now, we'll share an early draft of the plan:
The "Community Lab Index" is a collection of information about community labs and publicly accessible biohacker spaces. This resource will have two components: (1) an expansion of the diybio.org/local web page and (2) a booklet that can be downloaded for free or print copies will also be available for purchase.
To build out the resource, we created a set of basic questions (year founded, address, etc) plus some questions that will help show the character of the space/people, such as "favorite piece of equipment", "featured projects", "origin story", etc. Ellen at Genspace contributed some content and photos, so we could work on the prototype and my friend Gretchen, is doing the print layout prototyping. We're also hoping to commission cover art, and get some print quality photographs of each space in the public domain.
I'll post more of the nuts-and-bolts, along with the workflow for community members who want to contribute and community labs who want to be featured in the first edition -- but, I'm on the run today.
In the meantime, check out the early prototype of the booklet attached. Still some things to improve in next iteration (e.g. URLs missing, etc), but you'll be able to get a sense.
BTW, we do continuously update diybio.org/local (thanks to volunteer Hope for managing those updates, typically within 24 hours of getting an email). Its been pretty amazing seeing the number of new sites really climb over the past couple of months, with more than a dozen updates to the page. We've definitely "outgrown" the initial format. One reason we're excited to help create new useful (and pretty!) community info resources.

The list of Biohackerspaces on diybio.org is woefully out of date so I thought I would crowdsource the info from you all. I have tried emailing or contacting a bunch of groups some have given me lots of info(THANKS!) others with no response(and one which told me that I couldn't have the info) but maybe I just contacted the wrong person? I figure maybe you all out there know who to contact or maybe you help out with one of the spaces?--
This way now people can edit the list anytime they want to make sure everyone has the most up to date info. Please help me complete it!
Here it is:
