Hackbase
From HackerspaceWiki
A Hackbase or Hackerbase is a Live-in Hackerspace - a hackerspace with a capacity for coliving.
- everything you would expect from a hackerspace + place to stay (sleep, eat, ...)
- ... this includes being publicly accessible (via a clear and non-discriminatory process)
- able to host short or long-term stays
- residents cover their own costs (which are usually far less than "normal" lifestyles)
- extension on the practices of sharing already present in hackerspaces
- hosts hacker Residencies and Exchanges
Known self-described hackbases:
- Cyberhippietotalism (CHT) @ Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain, website
- Kuckucksmühle (KuM) @ Brandenburg, Germany, Europe. Part of Ecohackerfarm network.
