<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div>Hey all,</div><div><br></div><div>On Sunday the 10th of January 2010 at 19:00 UTC+1(*) there will be an IRC meeting in #scanhack on the IRC server "labitat.dk" (that is, no "irc.") using SSL on port 6697. You can also use our webchat here: <a href="https://labitat.dk:9000/">https://labitat.dk:9000/</a> -- but instead of #labitat put in #scanhack as the channel name. The meeting will be in English, so curious people are *more* than welcome to join.</div><div><br></div><div>The point is to discuss a possible meetup for Scandinavian hackerspaces this summer, as well as trying to establish a umbrella organization comprising of the hackerspaces in (but not necessarily limited to) Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Greenland and Denmark. The idea is that if we organize on a cross-border scale we'll be able to raise money "on a EU scale" and have various import agreements (Mate, Mate, Mate), for example.</div><div><br></div><div>The meetup next summer should include talks on starting and maintaining hackerspaces, as well as general hacker talks and workshops.</div><div><br></div><div>Disclaimer: Please note that all of this are *my* ideas of what is going to happen, if you have something to add, think I have it all wrong, or want to object to anything, then by all means come talk to me/us on Sunday :-)</div><div><br></div><div>Here goes the agenda (as it looks right now -- if you want to discuss something, please add it: <a href="http://piratepad.net/hOsuh3vg0R)">http://piratepad.net/hOsuh3vg0R)</a>:</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial;
