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 ✓
- Kitchen ✓
- Side note: the building has a huge cantina on the other side of the building, not sure if we can use it, we'll have to ask..
- Toilet(s) ✓
- 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 ✗
- The building has one shared entrance, the reception is always staffed by at least one person
- No (or deaf) neighbours ✓
- 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 ✓
- We can either use our own space or rent a large presentation area in the building for a day
- Small room without windows/light (for photography stuff) ✗
- Access to Food (either Restaurants or Markets) ✓
