Just wanted to send this to the list in celebration. I'm so thankful<br>
for all the hackerspace members that have helped to fund this project<br>
and I really hope we're successful at inspiring the need for these<br>
spaces in Baghdad and the Middle East / North Africa more broadly.<br>

We've been working here in Beirut for a while and I'd like to<br>
introduce a new hackerspace here:<br>
<a href="http://facebook.com/lambalabs" target="_blank">http://facebook.com/lambalabs</a><br>
(lamba means lightbulb in beiruti arabic)<br>
<br>
Come visit them, they're wonderful people!<br>
<br>
Also, still want to chat about 2 things:<br>
<br>
1) Hacker exchange programs<br>
Sending people from developed hackerspaces to developing<br>
hackerspaces and in reverse. I think a lot can be learned by trading<br>
places!<br>
<br>
2) Sister hackerspace program<br>
Would like some help formalizing that and perhaps making it onto<br>
the <a href="http://hackerspaces.org" target="_blank">hackerspaces.org</a> website (GEMSI.org could host too)<br>
<br>
Stay classy world!!<br>
