[hackerspaces] Hackerspace and hackerspace

[Paweł Ngei]

Hey!

There will be as many definitions as there are hackerspaces. For me,
it's always a community first. The physical space comes second, as a
hackerspace can and should survive moving.

And it's not only for making. You can meet activists, educators,
anarchists, makers, inventors, and so on.

For the last two years I've been working on a graphic novel about
hackerspaces - https://glider.ink/ and I've gathered quite a few
"archetypes" of people you can find in one:

Best,
