Me as well, and I'm from The Netherlands :) Over here we see a movement to move
away from squats. Even the people who used to operate hackerspaces in squats
tell us: don't, it's so much trouble. In fact, apparently one of the older
hackerspaces over here stopped because they were tired of having to move into
a new squat every so much months (we're talking 80's/90's here).

Having said that, go Lille! Hope you find a space soon to realize your full
potential!

Gr,

Koen
