<div dir="ltr">Hello, looks like this is I was looking for, I had idea that our hackerspace Progressbar is missing place for sleepover but also place to hack.

<br>
Well this is awkward,<br>
<br>
I helped set up this wiki mod thing 2.5 years ago, together with<br>
Wrought (in bcc), and I'm kind of maintaining it.<br>
My understanding of what "residencies" mean is a (third) completely<br>
different one. I think Wrought shared this understanding but maybe<br>
not.<br>
<br>
For me "residencies" are:<br>
* a plural of "residency". Dictionary: "the fact of living in a place."<br>
* like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artist-in-residence" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artist-in-residence</a> (artist<br>
residencies), where stay (=living space) is also provided, sometimes<br>
with the artists themselves funding their own stay expenses (This is<br>
also the case with all the hackbases I'm aware of, including<br>
<a href="http://totalism.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">totalism.org</a>), sometimes not (like Tsinghua).<br>
<br>
So to me, being a "residency: maybe/yes" hackerspace basically means<br>
that a space is interested to welcome touring hackers in the lab +<br>
will make an effort to find them a place to stay. This either with<br>
some arranged place for that inside the hackspace (like I saw at<br>
Brussels or Bologna, or of course in hackbases), or some member's<br>
couch, or something like this.<br>
<br>
With this understanding in mind, Hackbases are just a tightly-coupled<br>
and optimized space for hacker residencies. (Also to me, just opening<br>
the lab to travelling hackers is a given by both my conviction and<br>
experience. I would never consider making this an attribute.)<br>
<br>
----<br>
<br>
The description was written by Wrought. Rereading, it looks ambiguous.<br>
But, besides what I remember us two speaking, the "host" part there<br>
and my understanding of "residencies" that's quite established at<br>
least in the art world made my interpretation.<br>
<br>
>From <a href="https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/Residencies" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/Residencies</a> :<br>
"Hacker residencies or hackers-in-residence (also hacker-in-residence<br>
and hackbase) are programs to find, accept, and ***host*** an<br>
individual or group in a region or single hackerspace to work on some<br>
project, set of tasks, or open-ended benefits for a limited amount of<br>
time. Hopefully there is some means of financial support including but<br>
not limited to: travel fare, housing, food, general living costs, and<br>
perhaps other costs like insurance or materials. "<br>
<br>
---<br>
<br>
Anyway, now we have 160 spaces that said "yes" or "maybe" to<br>
whatever's written up there. It would probably be a good idea to clear<br>
it up in some way, probably by:<br>
* adding some new unambiguous attributes ("can host", etc). I've added<br>
a "residencies_contact" with this direction in mind a few days ago.<br>
* contacting the existing spaces and asking them what's up<br>
<br>
But so far when I've tried actually using the list myself, it did<br>
appear that the spaces shared my understanding.<br>
