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.

It's a wiki, and the page above is only the first page of hits. Ace Monster Toys is at http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Ace_Monster_Toys, and you see a map of spaces near you at http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/California

Brief call-to-arms for the London Hackspace: We just moved to a huge new space on Hackney Road and are now scaling up membership to cover our outgoings. http://london.hackspace.org.uk If you're interested in joining as a member please drop by and have a look around. Drop me a message and I'll give you a personal tour! If you're interested to see how much 13,000 sqft of space costs in London, this is our live-updating…

similarly Edinburgh Hacklab ( http://www.edinburghhacklab.com ) moved to a bigger space and is looking for new members.

Similarly Technologia Incognita (http://techinc.nl - Amsterdam) is looking for a (affordable) bigger space and members to support it.

I had terrible experience meeting people from London Hackspace back at Cremer Street.

I do software. When I lived in Vienna, I frequently visited Metalab, which truly embraces hackers of any sort -- doesn't matter if you're into robotics, cryptography, Linux kernel or Ruby. I met great people there and after moving to London hoped to get into hackers community through London Hackspace.

Well, on my first visit, someone wearing white lab coat with London Hackspace logo told me that (literally) "software people are not welcome here -- they may as well work at Starbucks! We would prefer having more members who do hardware stuff because they require access to hardware tools and we provide this to them". Needless to say, I never came back. Starbucks, yeah.

So, great to hear you've moved, hope that now you are more tolerant towards software people.

I've wanted to join the London Hackspace for a while now so should probably look into freeing up a Tuesday to attend an open evening. You're even closer to where I live now!
