Something that disappointed me a lot in the last years was watching all the huge ego trips around some communities. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">At least in my country, in a very strange and creepy way, being a member of a hackerspace became a kind of "status" for some opportunist people. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I always want to die when I need to make some researches to my professors and read "member of xyz hackerspace" in LinkedIn profiles and CVs. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Most of the times, the "badass proud member" only visited the space once or twice, and never did anything really interesting and/or useful to the community, but they are paying for being a member and it's enough. Sorry, it's pretty disgusting and very ridiculous in the most of all the cases. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Yes, we need the money, I know, but we also need loyalty to our values, true love, sincere devotion when searching to build a better, more beautiful world, a future with less pains and more technologies, more accessible knowledge to anyone... </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">At least for me, it would be the most astonishing and pure beauty... Keeping the sincere hope in a fair world and building it with my hackerspace's friends. Well, without forgetting the fun and a little bit of mess, of course! :D</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Sorry, I love the chaos! I miss a lot the lovely nighty-nights when my friends were completely drunk, trying to teach me Crypto, Python, and Haskell at the same time... I think I didn't learn anything, but had the most fun laughs of my life... It was friendship, true love... We used to be a *real* community and I miss it a lot. <3</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Ceci</div><div dir="auto">Sao Paulo - Brazil</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">PS: - Flo, never trust the snail mail.
