Hi<br><br>I've done a quick checkout, and there are lots of national "hackerspaces.TLD" that are still available.<br>May I suggest any hacker spaces in :<br><i style="color: rgb(192, 192, 192);"><sidenote> do NOT 'whois' those domain names unless you're ready to buy them immediately. Some site have been know in the past to 'reserve' any domain name that was searched for. </sidenote></i><br>
- Swiss (ch)<br> - Spain (es,cat)<br> - Belgium (be)<br> - UK (<a href="http://org.uk">org.uk</a>, <a href="http://co.uk">co.uk</a> eventually)<br> - Poland (pl)<br> - Austria (at)<br> - China (cn)<br> - Mexico (mx)<br> - Czech Republic (cz)<br>
- Argentina (ar)<br> - Canada (ca)<br> - Italy (it)<br> - Japan (jp)<br> - India (in)<br> - Luxembourg (lu)<br> - Norway (no)<br> - Portugal (pt)<br> - Russia (ru)<br> - Sweden (se)<br> - Taiwan (tw)<br><br>... to secure their respective national domain name _ASAP_, make a small site (in their native language) explaining the HS movement, point to national HS webpages and host contact pages for HS without web presence.<br>
For the English version, point to <a href="http://hackerspaces.org">hackerspaces.org</a>, there's no need to duplicate the global and local HS lists.<br><br>For now, the NL, DE, FR, US, EU and ASIA are secured and hopefully in good hands (no shady resalers).<br>
Additionally, the nice fellows who own the ORG, NET and COM could grab the TV domain (for future vodcast projects), before those horrible name-grabbing robots see there is an interest and preempt everything still available.<br>
