Hackerspace Charlotte

[Luke Weston]

There's some pretty interesting potentially valuable discussion here about hackerspace management/culture/operation/whatever you want to call it.

Hi Luke,

That's interesting reading and as a member of another Hackerspace I can only say that the

guy could be commenting on other hackerspaces equally as much as his own.

What seems to make the hackerspace experience more challenging is that, just my experience,

you have both engineers turn up along with geeky hacker-types and non-geeky hacker-types.

There's obviously a tension between the two groups. Because the Hackers want to come up

with something original, and the engineers want everything made a certain way and generally
speaking are less open to 'hacks' as a matter of principle.

That in itself can generate an inherent tension and I can't see any easy way around it as
a social model.

Agree with David
I found very often that people with high education (whatever it might be) in the field that you trying to hack a project, say "It can't be done" or "this will not work".... and it might be either impossible or very difficult, but I'm sure that Edison and other inventors heard that very often too.

I think there is always room for new look at the old issues.

let the people hack...
