I have thought of this before.<br>
<br>
The sister city of Urbana, Illinois is Zomba, Malawi (Africa)<br>

I think that there is currently no hackerspace in Malawi.<br>

Hello beautiful people!<br>
<br>
Do you feel that interhackerspace dialog could be better? Tighter,<br>
more networked? I do too! What if there was a sister hackerspace<br>
exchange. The benefits of such a program would be:<br>
1) People can develop stronger relationships with one other<br>
hackerspace, compared to ALLL THE HACKERSPACES<br>
2) Sister Membership could lead to more hackerspace visitation<br>
3) The difficulties of generalizing and sharing strategy for structure<br>
and process can be eased<br>
4) Hackerspaces are personal spaces, data is great, but we connect in<br>
our spaces better than online. This will help us love one another.<br>
5) Projects can be collaborated on<br>
<br>
Here I humbly propose the first sister spaces:<br>
Beiruts hackerspace facilitated by Bassam (cced)<br>
and<br>
Ann Arbor's hackerspace facilitated by Josh Williams (cced)<br>
<br>
