I called out to the internet and there were answers. The goal is to found and build a hackspace in Reutlingen and it is beginning to bear fruit. On January 23, 2024,
here was the first initial call to everyone in the region who also feels the urge to create a hackspace. A lot has happened since then. Of course, we want to make everything as transparent and open as possible and that's why there are regular updates and milestones that we achieve here.
0x01 - WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR
I asked around a bit outside of
NERDBUDE, at local groups, and even found some open ears. The
LUG Reutlingen (
LINK) was immediately enthusiastic and there are also people in the
Chaos Treff Tübingen (
LINK) who jumped on board. Not to mention various individuals from different walks of life who also want to get involved.
On
February 11, 2024 we had our first online meeting to find out whether the goals we want to pursue with a hackspace are going in the same direction - and they definitely are.
We have collected and documented many ideas. Thanks to the commitment of some of our fellow campaigners, we now have the opportunity for the first time to have (albeit initially small) premises and direct contact with the city.
0x02 - WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Now we are going to have talks with the city representatives. We will present our ideas, utopias and plans and hope that they are well received and approved so that we can make good progress with further planning. The possible premises also require meetings with those responsible. So we have a lot to do in the near future and the child also needs a name.
We are currently 15 active people and we still have room for more.
If you feel like it - join in!
