AHHH! I was just in Atlanta looking for something like this two weeks ago. In San Francisco, it's easy--just hit SOMA. Thanks for the link.

Suggestion: Make every hacker space a TOR exit node.

Haha, as if we didn't get enough folks coming around wanting to hack the gibson! But really, the challenges around retaking the hacker term to mean tinkerer/maker/understander-or-things is enough without us getting cease & desist/DMCA/strike letters.

Some of the best times of my life and my closest friends were met at HacDC in Washington. Since it is the top of a church, with terrible bandwidth, TOR exit node is not as appealing as it sounds.

Props for maintaining an exit node.

I myself can't wait until computers are cheap and small enough to be disposable to the point where you can carry a few around with you and leave them behind. At that point, hackers around the world can install bandwidth throttled exit nodes on open-wifi signals around the world.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Best space in the Bay is Ace Monster toys.

I noticed it isn't on the list. Any other suggestions for spaces? I'm in the Oakland area.

Edit to add: Also, TechShop. Menlo Park apparently has fewer crowds than SF, but it's further from you. And I've also heard good things about Hacker Dojo.

Not practicable in Germany. A few weeks and the police would raid the hacker space and take everything that looks like a computer (for a very broad definition of computer) with them. End of hacker space - even if your equippment is returned (which happens usually after 6+ months) when the charges are dropped.

I wanted to add our local hackerspace but the site wants to "confirm my email" which requires account. Oh well. If anyone wants to be helpful and already has an account, here's a link: [1] [1]: https://www.brmlab.cz/

It looks like brmlab is already listed http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Brmlab
