Within the last 12 months, we've seen hackerspaces spread all across the world at an incredible rate, and hackers everywhere getting involved with the movement and turning into the most excited entusiasts for shared community spaces to research and/or build things. As of today there are 102 officially known active hackerspaces and another 82 in planning or building process. The media has developed an interest in the movement, its history (reaching back dozens of years already), and its current status. However, the epic plan of taking over the world and bringing new mechanisms of studying, working and experience to the people doesn't stop here. The 40 minute talk will mostly focus on why to build a hackerspace, how, and what questions to ask yourself in the process. It will conclude in an extensive Q/A round.
