That brings me to this next thought. We should create a press release<br>
that can easily be shared with all the big technology news channels.<br>
CNET comes to mind and I'm sure there are a bunch of others.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, totally agreed. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">

In order to get this started I would like if you guys would take<br>
photos of your groups interacting with each other either in your<br>
hackerspace or in your meeting location if you are just getting<br>
started. Then write a little paragraph about what is going on in the<br>
photo and provide details about where that location is and what the<br>
name is of the organization.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>As you might have heard, Bre and me were working on a publication about a bunch of the hackerspaces that are featured on the site (as in: everyone who got back to our mail), and we have the final pdf version (Bre is reading over it atm for the very, very, VERY last time ;) - so this might be included in a press mailing (though it's pretty insanely huge). </div>
<div><br></div><div>Also, right now as I write these lines Georgyo has helped me implement some new statistic graphs of <a href="http://hackerspaces.org">hackerspaces.org</a> and when and where hackerspaces were founded... the new feature will be released early by tomorrow I believe, as I want to reference it at Jens' and my talk at re:publica in Berlin, Germany.</div>
<div>Including this dataset will give an additional plus of information I believe.</div><div><br></div><div>Hack on,</div><div>/astera</div></div><br>
