HackerTours[edit]
For now just a discussion between g5pw and mwfc on IRC. Input welcome!
[18:45:02] mwfc: another thing i just realized after writing you, maybe we should do hackertours [18:45:20] mwfc: which hackerspaces should be visited, a curated list, that are easily reachable and maybe allow sleepovers [18:45:28] g5pw: Oh yeah, that would be interesting! [18:45:46] mwfc: and tourguides, who are willing to help in country XY [18:46:11] mwfc: e.g. asking you how to understand the italian on a page, whether the space is still active [18:46:36] g5pw: Yup, that would also be nice [18:46:46] mwfc: so a list of spaces that add themselves to a list, and by doing that agree to certain things [18:47:04] g5pw: I remember chasing down the guys at the Athens hackerspace, only to miss the opening by a couple of minutes đ [18:47:10] mwfc: like having a space api or whatever for outsiders to see they are open. basic information in english or whatever [18:47:14] mwfc: yeah something like that [18:47:48] g5pw: That sounds like a plan. Should we discuss this further via ML or in the main channel? [18:47:52] mwfc: so taking away the burden from all spaces to some spaces saying "yes, we are easy to access for outsiders for a visit, this is how to ping us" [18:48:03] g5pw: Exactly [18:48:20] mwfc: i am not sure yet, how to communicate that [18:48:27] mwfc: needs more thinking imho [18:48:31] g5pw: And we could actually set up some kind of auto-ping for that subgroup [18:48:35] mwfc: a couple of badges might be interesting [18:48:38] mwfc: yeah [18:48:56] mwfc: and making the bar so low, that normal comms fuckups do not happen [18:49:01] mwfc: and at same time everyone profits [18:49:23] g5pw: I.e. a reminder âhey, you are in the hackerspace tour list, is the contact info still relevantâ or something like this every... hmm... half year from last edit maybe? [18:49:49] g5pw: Badges would definitely make the thing more interesting đ
