The Hacker Space Movement

Hacker spaces have been around for years. But something is afoot! In the past several months new hacker spaces have been popping up all over our planet – and established hacker spaces have become way more popular. There is even an international organization called Hackerspaces.org that exists to promote the continuation and formation of hacker spaces everywhere. Coinciding with this unprecedented movement is a growing popularity of hacker conferences, Maker Faires, Dorkbots, crafting groups, other geeky groups. What is going on here? And how can you benefit? Mitch (co-founder of Noisebridge, a hacker space in San Francisco) and other members of Hackerspaces.org will talk about their experiences and outlooks, including how to start your own hacker space where you live.
