I wonder if there would be a tendency to couple "well established" hackerspaces with the "emerging ones" - like in countries where the hackermovement is kind of "officially" taking off - parts of South America, Afrika for example (I know that some of these places has a cool hackerspaces already but in general).<br></span></div><div> <br>I wonder what the Noiseibridgers think about that?

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>Discuss!<br>+BG<br>_______________________________________________<br>Discuss mailing list<br><a
