Communication

An important goal of hackerspaces.org is to increase communication and collaboration between hackerspaces.

Chat!

The rooms are currently not bridged (2024/03), which some people prefer. All are active on a semi-daily basis, but you might need to wait a bit for a response!

Matrix

Join here. More info: Matrix.

IRC

• ircs://irc.libera.chat/#hackerspaces
• https://web.libera.chat/#hackerspaces (for webchat, no client needed)

More info: IRC Channel (for information about which channels & networks may have relevant information.)

Telegram

Join here. More info: Telegram (admins, bridge talk).

Mailing lists!

For coordination & discussion purposes we also provide mailing lists.

• The Announce List is low traffic, and all posts are forwarded to Discuss
• Actively discuss hackerspaces on the Discuss List (unmoderated)
• There are more lists available, but some have been dormant. Feel invited to resurrect them!
• We are happy to host your own mailing list, please ask us on the IRC/Matrix channel.

Regular meetings

Join the Meetings. The agenda is coordinated here.

Mentors

See Hackerspace Mentors - a list of experienced hackerspace members, willing to answer questions and offer advice.

Micro-Blogging

If on Twitter, follow HackerspacesBot. Please ping @hackerspacesbot for RT of useful announces & info!

Telephone

Sometimes, hearing a human (or robot) voice just can't be beat. Join the monthly hackerspace Call-in. (SIP Conference Room available via mobile and landlines)

Planet Feeds

http://planet.hackerspaces.org/ aggregates as many hackerspaces blog feeds as possible, including hackerspaces | flux.

Currently available in English. See that announcement to have your hackerspace's feed included.

Microblogging (deprecated)

If you're on identi.ca, join the hs group: use !hs or !hackerspaces or !hacklabs or !hacklab to notify the group when you micro-blog.
