SpaceAPI: http://hackerspaces.nl/spaceapi/

Here's a basic template:

{
  "api":"0.11",
  "space":"Milwaukee Makerspace",
  "url":"http:\/\/milwaukeemakerspace.org",
  "icon":{
    "open":"http:\/\/apps.2xlnetworks.net\/milwaukeemakerspace\/images\/open.png",
    "closed":"http:\/\/apps.2xlnetworks.net\/milwaukeemakerspace\/images\/closed.png"
  },
  "address":"3073 S Chase Ave, Bldg 34, Milwaukee, WI 53207, USA",
  "contact":{
    "twitter":"@mkemakerspace",
    "ml":"milwaukeemakerspace@googlegroups.com"
  },
  "lat":"42.988773",
  "lon":"-87.912791",
  "logo":"http:\/\/apps.2xlnetworks.net\/milwaukeemakerspace\/images\/milwaukeemakerspace.png",
  "open":false,
  "lastchange":1320586506
}

My thought was that since we are only “open” during specific hours (say, Tues & Thurs 7pm - 10pm) we could just build a simple PHP script that output the open/closed status bases on the day/time. At least for version 1.0
