Stone Interactive Group is a Professional Website Design, Development, SEO and Interactive Marketing Services Company with headquarters in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

i3 Detroit is a collaborative environment for people to explore the
balance between technology, art and culture. We feel the best way to
create this environment is to bring like mind people together that
share a common passion for technology, art and culture.

The community is run by it's members through voting. All founding
members have worked together to create a set of by-laws that all
members and non-members are required to follow. The goal is to provide
a safe and fun community environment.

We are hoping to become a community resource by hosting various
classes including but not limited to electronics, programming, crafts,
Photography, cooking and all other skills that members or others are
willing to share. We want to create an environment that promotes
learning in a fun non-traditional format.

As the collective continues to grow we hope to build relationships
with other Hacker Spaces that are willing to collaborate on projects
and classes.

What does i3 stand for: Imagine, Innovate & Inspire

How we finance the project:

We finance the project through Membership fees, Sponsorships,
Fundraisers and Donations. All proceeds will go towards renting a
space for collaboration, Tools, Parts and space renovations. All
financial decisions will be voted on by it's Members.

Purposes:

• Build and maintain physical spaces suitable for technical, art
  and social collaboration.
• Collaborate on all forms of technology, art and culture in new
  and interesting ways.
• Apply the results of its work to specific cultural, charitable
  and scientific causes.
• Freely share its research and discoveries, using what is learned
  to teach others.
• Recruit and develop talented members dedicated to these
  purposes.

i3 Detroit aims to be a 501c3 organization which will allow us to
receive donations to assist us in meeting our purposes.

Our Inspirations:

i3 Detroit has been inspired by the many Hacker Spaces that have been
created through out the globe such as Noisebridge, NYC Resistor,
Cowtown Computer Congress and Psone.

We are still currently looking for new members to join our group and
we are also looking to work with other groups in the area. I would be
interested in working with some of you from the Michigan Python Users
Group to possibly work with us on teaching some classes etc.. For more
