[hackerspaces] Fwd: Glider Ink - a hackerspace graphic novel

[Paweł Chojnacki]

Hey!

Thanks for your words! If everything goes as planned, I will have a
small assembly / stand on this year's Chaos Communication Congress in
Germany to gather some stories and feedback from people there.

I'm also still looking for an artist. I managed to sign a contract with
one just before the last year's CCC, but sadly, she decided to cancel it.

I should make an official "Looking for Illustrator" page and link it here :)

Best,

alxd
