"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
Planning
- 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?
