[sudo-discuss] [+1 and a share] Hackerspace Design Patterns

[Matthew Senate]

Hello Omni Collective representatives, member collectives, and interested
parties,

Please share this message with your collectives as a gesture of good faith
and solidarity.

For everyone who has or has not read the Hackerspace Design Patterns
document, please consider doing so now (for the first time, or with today's
eyes):

http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Design_Patterns

This document articulates some slices of the history, culture, theory, and
praxis of hackerspaces, globally. The original patterns were derived from a
survey in Europe, and interpreted by the eyes of Chaos Computer Club (CCC)
community members eager to share with interested, curious individuals of
the US. I share this with you now eager to construct shared language and
receive invaluable feedback both from your interpretations and your own
experiences, resources, and histories.

I have some concerns about the current status of potentially entering a
lease agreement through The Omni Collective. We are discussing the idea
right now in the sudo room community. We will resolve or pass these
concerns up through our representative, of course.

Though I must share something auspicious. I understand The Omni Collective
has about 10 member collectives:

"*Aim for ten people* for a start." - *The Critical Mass Pattern*
http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/The_Critical_Mass_Pattern

I thought it was an important and poignant time to send this document and
message to all of you. Sudo Room, like all hackerspaces, deviates from the
patterns at times in its own right, so we try to document as much as we can
about our patterns on our wiki https://sudoroom.org/wiki/

Further information about starting hackerspaces is available on the
Documentation page: http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Documentation

p.s. +1, the naive integer increment, as you may use it yourself, is a
symbol of positive addition, a recognition of effort worthy of discrete
exchange. Maybe a loose metaphor of a rising score, but not necessarily the
score of a zero-sum game.

p.p.s. There are a few stray edits of the patterns that deviate from the
originals.
