Do maker spaces federate in any way? Examples I can think of are a bit bougie, but golf clubs or professional clubs where there are sister chapters/courses in other regions.

It would be so cool to visit a maker space when in a different town (or country) with some degree of attached reputation (won't damage things, know the safety rules, history of good conduct).

Sort of. We work pretty closely with the nearest makerspace and have a thing where we will split membership fees of people who wish to join both (a common thing if you live half way between the two places).

Unfortunately, there is nothing like this at the national or global level that I am aware of.

Pollyanna and graceful ordinary aren't terribly bad neighbors to have. That's some nice real estate you got there! Farmbot is one of the coolest projects around.

Hey Rick! I visited Fox.build a few years back - your maker-maker space is truly an inspiration, and I'm looking forward to visiting again soon. Thank you.

Looking forward to it! Speak soon. Just saw your RSVP - I do remember you! Glad to hear you are still working on your project.
