"Hacker In Residence" is an initiative from Noisebridge (Mitch & Praveen).

Description

Hacker In Residence is a person who comes to visit a non-native hackerspace, and temporarily becomes a "member" and contributes to the local community, taking part in the projects and events, brining his/her unique qualities, and experiences from his/her own hackerspace or community.

Artist-in-residence and writer-in-residence are well-known references: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artist-in-residence

Ideas

(Mitch: 11-Jan-2013 funding ideas)

•  Using an Awesome Foundation model is a great idea. 
•  We can probably also do Kickstarter, and/or other crowd-source funding.

(Praveen: 25-Jan-2013 )

• Matt Senate has been working on a Bay Area Consortium of Hackerspaces which this may fold into.

(Becha: 26-Jan-2013) *Ideas for planing*:

• We need to have a strucuture & communication setup to make this not messy ;-)
• Application: what does the visiting hacker offer: skills, time.. and needs: interests, level of comfort needed...
• Listing of what each hackerspace offers (facilities, time slots available...) & Needs: skills preferred, open projects..
• Funding: can we support hackers that can not afford to travel; how about visas?

(Jenny Ryan, 26-jan-2012) *Some ideas*:

• We could set up a wiki page on hackerspaces.org [hackerspaces.org] and send a

callout to the mailing list for hackerspaces that wish to participate to a general fund (even $25 a month could go a long way if we get enough spaces participating). SchoolFactory may also be interested in supporting this. This could also be a sweet project to kickstart BACH (Bay Area Consortium of Hackerspaces [hackerspaces.org]).

• Crowdfunding platform for the hacker community? I'm collating a list of

crowdfunding platforms at http://thepyre.org/wiki/Funding [thepyre.org] - with open source platforms listed at the top. That wiki is currently being botstormed, so in case it's inaccessible I recommend Catarse and Goteo.

• A longer-term vision could be working out a model for funding 'hacker

hostels' proximate to hackerspaces, maybe trying to tap STEM-funding orgs.. or tourism bureaus? This would probably necessitate an application process and some kind of project-based deliverable.

• Even longer-term: maker villages! Or as my friend Evan coined,

'technecovillages'. We're collating research and ideas for that here: http://eudea.liminoidforest.org [eudea.liminoidforest.org] (soon to be http://wikitown.cc [wikitown.cc]) and meeting every other Tuesday at Sudo Room.
