== Info  ==
 
 
 
ACKspace is a hackerspace in the south of Netherlands in the City of Heerlen within Limburg.
 
 
 
A large number of people still think hackers are criminals which break into computers and steal information. We are here to show them the true meaning of hacking.
 
 
 
We are amongst one on the many space in the world fulfilling a need for the technical, creative and social minded to have a place where they can come together and share their knowledge.
 
 
 
Our memberbase ranges from all ages, cultures and technical backgrounds. Although we are usually good with computers, we are not your PC helpdesk.
 
 
 
 
 
ACKspace was founded in december 2010 by [[User:PsychiC|PsychiC]], [[User:Vicarious|Vicarious]] and [[User:LuckY|LuckY]]. During the beginning of 2012 LuckY has left and [[User:Xopr|xopr]] has joined the board. These three form the board trying to keep the space running smoothly. After quarter 2, 2014, PsychiC left the board and [[User:Prodigity|Prodigity]] became chairman.
 
 
 
We strongly encourage our members to contribute with ideas, [[Hackerspace_ACKspace:Current_events|workshops]] and [[projects]]. Together we are creating the place to be for all sorts of hackers out there.
 
 
 
March 2011 we got a physical space in the former CBS building in Heerlen (XCBS). March 2012 to april 2014 we had new space at the Putgraaf where we upgraded to 24/7 access!.
 
 
 
As of now, we are back at the former CBS building (Named [[Carbon6]], Kloosterweg 1 in Heerlen) with our ACKspace 3.0!
 
 
 
Usually we are open most of the evenings and in the weekends, but when in doubt [[Hackerspace_ACKspace:Communication|contact us]] via IRC, e-mail or phone.
 
 
 
Although we are located in the Netherlands we welcome guests from all over and we are happy to welcome new members joining each month.

== Imagining the perfect place  ==
 
 
 
A HackerSpace should be spacious with preferably a few smaller rooms to have different projects in.
 
The Kitchen is nearly a must but it should be a bit shielded from any other rooms to avoid any smells.
 
A Bathroom is an interesting feat.
 
The Living Room Spacious enough to have a couch and big table
 
A good public transport link is a must too
 
 
 
The perfect place would have:
 
 
 
*A low rent ✓
 
*Heating ✓
 
*Natural light / windows to open ✓, current windows can't open, but have got small vent grids<br>
 
*Kitchen ✓, Quite big, shared by other tennants<br>
 
**Side note: we have a small bar in our space.
 
*Toilet(s) ✓, 3 unisex<br>
 
*Shower ✓
 
*Parking or at least the possibility to access it with a truck to (un)load stuff ✓
 
*A bus stop or railway station not too far away and available till late ✓
 
*Separate entry (not shared with the rest of the tenants) so that we can install our own access system ✗ / ✓ , We share a main entrance with other tenants, but we got our own keys for 24/7 access to our own rooms.<br>
 
*No (or deaf) neighbours ✓, props go out to our neighbours for they are very relaxed indeed, even helping us out with projects<br>
 
*Easy to reach ✓ , Our location has free parking and is wheelchair accessible
 
*Some storage rooms (basement/cellar) for server ✓
 
*Broadband Internet access ✓
 
*Possibility to install machinery / tools for making things ✓
 
*Exhibition area ✓
 
*Conference/presentation area ✓ , not dedicated, but both rooms would suffice
 
*Small room without windows/light (for photography stuff) ✗
 
*Access to Food (either Restaurants or Markets) ✓
