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
Planning
Ideas
(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: some foundations were already mentioned: 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.
