humble opinion, a failed hackerspace is one that hasn't been
able<br>
to provide a space or community to share knowledge between
people (or<br>
for people to simply learn new things). If a physical space
lasted for a<br>
week but 1 person was able to learn something new and
interesting out of<br>
it, that space would be considered a success in my eyes.<br>
<br>
There is no rule that says a space must continue to always
exist.<br>
<br>
However there is the notion of personal failure in putting
time and<br>
energy into creating a space, only to see it burn to the
ground shortly<br>
there after.<br>
<br>
I would not consider Noisebridge a failure. It had some
golden years<br>
doing what many of us saw was act like a very robust an
anarchistic<br>
hacker space. It's however evolved and changed, is something
else now.<br>
Some would say it's not a hacker space, other say it is. The
one thing<br>
we can all agree on however is that people still use the
space for<br>
knowledge share and learning.<br>
<br>
The majority of founding members since have moved on or
away.<br>
Noisebridge now is a self-sustaining hacker space organism,
a very<br>
complicated one, particularly the sort that has predictable
cycles if<br>
you know what to look for.<br>
<br>
Noisebridge is not an outlier or an exception to any rules,
it simply<br>
happened to be the one where a bunch of loud internet people
gravitated<br>
towards.<br>
