This book documents where the hackerspace movement was in December of 2008. In that way itâ€™s a bit of a time capsule. Itâ€™s not an exhaustive book, but we hope there are enough stories in here to show that all your excuses for not starting up a hackerspace are invalid. Each group faced down their own dragons to bring their hackerspace into existence including floods, rats, and drama. If they can do it, so can you., ,We did this because we wanted it to exist and so it is a reward in itself. If you feel moved and want to support hackerspaces, we suggest contributing to the Wau Holland fund which helps make awesome things happen for hackerspaces. We would also like to thank everyone who submitted photographs and writing, this is your book., ,After these years, the book is finally free in the world as a pdf. Download it, read it, and share it. Weâ€™re open to the idea of making it into a real physical book and if youâ€™re interested in making that happen, let us know., ,Build, Unite, Multiply!,from (,http://blog.hackerspaces.org/2011/08/...,)
