Also see Telegram (for admin & bridge info).
Mailing list[edit]
For coordination and discussion purposes we also provide mailing lists.

- If you want to actively discuss hackerspaces the Discussion List (unmoderated) is where you want to be.
- If you want to talk about finance related topics such as fundraising ideas, strategies, member donations, tax laws, join Finance List.
