Nope, though I remember that there was a discussion involving museums a<br>
few months (years ?) ago on the /tmp/lab discussion list.<br></blockquote><div><br>I think that's the reasoning our colleagues at Nicelab (or Rivierhack ?) followed -one of these hackerspaces is set up in a museum. It might that same reasoning that led the /tmp/lab to set up at La Gaîté Lyrique on Thursdays ?<br>

In Grenoble, we had a sort of deal with a non-profit that offered basic<br>
science workshops to children : we were making public classes about how<br>
to repair a PC (bring your computer and your problem, we teach you how<br>
to solve it) and in exchange we could have the local an evening for a<br>
hackerspace session. It was a very nice link with the general public<br>
"You know, if you want to see how one tinkers with electronics, we are<br>
mounting a 3D printing machine next week.<br></blockquote><div><br>That is a pretty cool idea :) Are you guys continuing this year ?<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
I think it makes sense to be inside a library, but like always you just<br>
have to find the good person who understand what this is all about.<br></blockquote><div><br>Agreed - although the numbers are rising, both in France and abroad. Hackerspace-like structures in libraries were one of the topics mentioned at the <i>Rencontres Savoirs CDI</i> in Rennes in October, and some libraries like the <i>Champs Libres</i> one (again in Rennes) are slowly going that way it seems.<br>

Administrations and associations (in France at least) are very wary of<br>
people asking for room because there are many groups looking for a local<br>
and some of them are a bit suspicious.<br></blockquote><div><br>Indeed. Some cities in our area get so many requests for places to set up from associations that they just won't offer any kind of space until your group/structure passes the 1-year mark - which is understandable, since apparently many of them don't last that long.<br>
<br>As far as educating the local authorities is concerned, our little group at the CRDP is working on a few things and in touch with some people and small businesses rising from the hackerspace scene, trying to put together a clear picture of what a hackerspace can be : long, tough work, but worth it :)<br>
