*** Sarcasm apart, let's clear misunderstanding about the evolution of
the discussion, for the sake of people who left the "Abuse of Power"
thread early on. After the initial burst that sparked it, Paul
announced that he wants to leave the keys of hackerspaces.* domains to
someone else, preferably not to the same people who control the
server. That's the issue number one to solve.

The discussion derived to the lack of activity of late in the
hackerspaces community (stall of bonding activities such as Call-Ins,
Challenges, etc.).

Matt Joyce (NYC Resistor) proposed to setup a foundation to handle the
domains, provide a more transparent management of the community's
assets, and to move away from the benevolent dictator model.

Walter van Holst (RevSpace) reframed the issue from a lawyer's point
of view, saying that a foundation might not be the best choice, and we
should ask: 'what is the problem you're trying to solve?'

Mark Janssen proposed to gamify the decision process.

James Carlson introduced a working model for an umbrella organization
that manages resources across hackerspaces (makerspaces, etc.) which
sounds very interesting.

Rubin Abdi suggested we're here to fuck with your robots, to which
Monochrom agreed gleefully.

And you Sean, reminded that the topic of turning hackerspaces.org into
something more formal have come up a lot in this mailing list before
and failed.

Yves Quenemer and others reminded that hackerspaces.org have two
objectives that are properly fulfilled: providing this (and other)
mailing lists, and a working site of hackerspaces around the world.

So indeed, there are two topics:

0 - who's going to take charge of the hackerspaces.* domains
1 - what do you want to do to restore/expand regular community activity
  - and robots hardcore forking

Cheers,
