Big news from @FarsetLabs - we've been working on this since late last year and it's going to be fantastic!

Thanks to @FluxusNerd, all at FSL, and my friends @ShapersBelfast for keeping me sort of sane so far.

At the ripe old age of seven, Farset Labs is moving. But only for a while... https://t.co/1iJOgiVKJp

I love @FarsetLabs because it instilled confidence in me as a 'person who has something interesting to say' way back at the start of my #indie #gamedev journey via #ELI5, and I know it does the same for so many other #NI creatives. #ILoveSmallCharities #SmallCharityWeek

[Tibus @tibus]

We love @FarsetLabs because they’ve been brilliant supporters of @tibus. Encouraging our network build out, retweeting our open job posts and generally seeing the bigger picture in Belfast tech like we try to. Also those madcap hacks and makes: love them. #SmallCharityWeek

[Art @awflwafl]

@awflwafl @FarsetLabs @NIDevConf @CodeCoopNI @code4goodNI @FarsetDojo I love @FarsetLabs because of these reasons 🦄 👇

I've made some wonderful friends and have gotten so many opportunities because I hung around and annoyed people (ie, networking) #ILoveSmallCharities #SmallCharitiesWeek #smallcharityweek #Hackerspace

I love @FarsetLabs because they put things into perspective for us working in #academia @QUBelfast @QUBPolicy @SARC

[emma mulholland @e_mulholland]

I ❤️ @FarsetLabs It's a little like @empirerecords It's a safe space for a whole cast of quirky and wonderful characters. It was my entry drug to the meetup and community scene in NI when I first moved back and didn't know myself or many others. #ILoveSmallCharities #Hackerspace

[Code Co-op NI @CodeCoopNI]

We love the @FarsetLabs #charity because they supported us from the start and helped us grow a wonderful #community with so many learning journeys together!

I love @FarsetLabs because it was my introduction to the Belfast tech community ( after 4 years in Scotland) and introduction to many awesome individuals and projects through the space.

Great to see that @stateofopendata has been published.

Having been one of its peer reviewers, I've seen a lot of excellent work being poured into it. It will be a precious resource for the #opendata community and governments around the world.
