Hello Fellow Hackers,<br>
I recently moved to Kansas and found hackerspaces that are not really what<br>
I would have expected from my experience with hackerspaces in Europe<br>
(cbase, matrax and others) . I find much less FLOSS and very little<br>
knowledge or awareness of any of the issues that I feel are important.<br>
<br>
Of course I don't want to dictate or tell people what to do, and I see<br>
hackerspaces and people as totally independent.<br>
<br>
But what I would like to see is some guidelines or criteria for a FLOSS<br>
supporting hackerspace, something that is supported by many people. Ideally<br>
we can come up with a set of guiding principles that hackerspaces can<br>
freely adopt and identify with that will tell people that they support<br>
software freedom. If enough hackerspaces do this it would be attractive to<br>
new and budding hackerspaces as voluntary self identification.<br>
<br>
So I made a short survey to get peoples opinion on this :<br>

<br>
Thanks to wannabe1987, gmc, Wil5on, Otter on irc for debugging this and<br>
providing constructive feedback<br>
<br>
Also I wanted to say that I am starting a free software association for<br>
Kansas <a href="http://flosokaks.thefr33.com/" target="_blank">http://flosokaks.thefr33.com/</a> and looking for support.<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
mike<br>
