[hackerspaces] hackerspaces.tv

[Jens Christian Hillerup]

Hi folks!

I was just reminded that I am the owner of hackerspaces.tv, looking at
my GoDaddy summary after reading this call to action:
https://www.namecheap.com/moveyourdomainday.aspx

I bought the domain after a thread on this list was discussing what to
do with all these TLDs for which we didn't have hackerspace(s).TLD.
Then, as it happens, the project sanded out and I got no further. The
idea was to have a common FTP-or-whatever server with anonymous login
where spaces could just upload their content which would be made
available in both its original format (from the same FTP) and for
streaming online.

Now, I'll be moving this domain to NameCheap the day after tomorrow.
If anybody has any ideas or additions to my proposal, I'd like to hear
more!

... Perhaps even at the 28c3? Contact me off-list, I don't have a DECT
set up yet.

JC

That would be a nice domain name to streamcast Hackerspace events from.

If you set it up as a livecasting server for hackerspaces and events
to use, that's be pretty useful...

P.S.: GoDaddy reversed themselves on SOPA - still moving?

I like this idea!

At a minimum, you could use it to aggregate and promote live streams
and recordings that are already being posted elsewhere.

It would be great to go to one place to watch news and classes and
events from all the hackerspaces around!

Good reasons to boycott GoDaddy remain: http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Go_Daddy's_advertising

Another really good reason and indeed contributory to why I'm still
moving. Today is Move Your Domain Day; I'm not affiliated with
Namecheap, but they do give EFF a dollar for every domain moved there
so they have my endorsement. Feel free to move to another company but
make sure to get your shit off of GoDaddy today. Thank you very much.

I like the idea of crowdsourcing content; it's really hard just to keep our own hackerspace's blog updated let alone inter-space stuff. Maybe a wiki format, or allow anonymous ftp via the DN42 darknet? (If you're advanced enough to be on DN42, you're probably not a spammer?)

Just thinking of ways to make it easy to contribute. I know Jacob has really tried to show other spaces' videos lately and a dropbox for hackerspace media would be great.

Incidentally, if you want to get on DN42 I'd love to help you out and get more peers. (Play with BGP!)

Good call on aggregating and filtering, we could use that even with search out there. I like the idea of doing a hackerspace streaming station, but I also think something like constructables, but specifically for hackerspaces could be awesome. I've been using the hackerspaces.org wiki to organize our new space out here in Oakland, and I have to say it's invaluable to have a platform. If hackerspaces.tv can be a platform, It'd make it easier for newbs in the community like me to participate ;)

In Labitat (.dk) we have talked about making something like an Arduino
academy with webcasts so we can get a wider reach than just the people
who could come to the events in our space. Now, these talks will
likely be in Danish, but I suppose other spaces could make free
knowledge available in ALL the languages (pardon the meme). Hook it up
to some web subtitling system and have volunteers write subs for the
videos, and we've won.

I'm thinking like a TED meets instructables. I'm kindda busy the next
couple of months but I suppose anybody could start hacking if they
have the time :)
