[hackerspaces] Iraqi hackerspaces?

[Matt Joyce]

Are you working with anyone locally?  You might want to reach out to
the state dept.  I mean I know you have an aversion to military
dealings but we really do have a diplomatic presence in the region and
they may be able to put you in touch with local assistance that you
might want / need.
