Communication
An important goal of hackerspaces.org is to increase communication and collaboration between hackerspaces.
Chat![edit]
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[edit]
IRC[edit]
- 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[edit]
Join here. More info: Telegram (admins, bridge talk).
Mailing lists![edit]
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[edit]
Join the Meetings. The agenda is coordinated here.
Mentors[edit]
See Hackerspace Mentors - a list of experienced hackerspace members, willing to answer questions and offer advice.

Telephone[edit]
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[edit]
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)[edit]
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.
Static & Moving Images[edit]

Some hackerspaces are remotely viewable to some extent via Webcams.
