The Beginning
In 2011, the Bulla Truck Workshop from the 1920s was turned into a modern workspace, by Marty and Nick, the original founders of Electron Workshop. Over the next 10 years, Electron Workshop have hosted many amazing entrepreneurs, events, meetups, movie screenings, and so many great memories.
The Pandemic
Like the rest of the world, Electron Workshop was hit by the pandemic and had to decide on the way forward. In April 2021, after 10 years in the North Melbourne warehourse, Electron Workshop decided to leave its body and continue its life in the digital world.
The Future
We are now in the process of morphing into our new shape so that we can continue serving our community members and supporting partner organisations in empowering the open source tech industry and innovation commons.
Our Initiatives
Ongoing programs run by and for the Electron Workshop community.
Sprints
A weekly Sunday check-in where community members come together to make progress on open source and community projects. Runs online and in-person, with a shared kanban board and knowledge base.
Electron Network
A peer network connecting community groups, non-profits, and individuals working in the open source and innovation commons space. The network shares knowledge, capacity, and support across organisations.
