Communication
From HackerspaceWiki
An important goal of hackerspaces.org is to increase communication and collaboration between hackerspaces, so bigger projects like hackerspace-festivals and support of fledgling hackerspaces become feasible.

[edit] Chat
[edit] IRC
irc://irc.freenode.net/#hackerspaces
[edit] Jabber
The best way to get in touch with hackers from all over the world. Every Jabber account created on jabber.hackerspaces.org automatically gets a contact list of all the other users. Makes for a nice network effect.
- note: I just signed up, and I am not seeing contact list information for other people on jabber.hackerspaces.org populate my contact list. Is that information automatilly loaded/synced, or is there a manual step that needs to make that happen?
- you need to relogin once to get the updated contact list.
You can also join the Hackers chatroom at xmpp:hackers@conference.jabber.hackerspaces.org?join
[edit] Email
For coordination and discussion purposes we also provide mailinglists. Join our guaranteed low-traffic Announce List (moderated), if you're just interested in updates and event announcements. If you want to actively discuss hackerspaces the Discussion List(unmoderated) is where you want to be.
[edit] Micro-Blogging
On twitter, you want to follow HackerspacesBot or the growing hackerspaces list.
If you're on identi.ca, join the hs group: use !hs or !hackerspaces or !hacklabs or !hacklab to notify the group when you micro-blog. Attention: the !hackerspace keyword belongs to Cyberia in Bogota :)
[edit] Telephone
Sometimes, hearing a human (or robot) voice just can't be beat. Join the monthly hackerspace Call-in. (SIP Conference Room available via mobile and landlines)
[edit] Planet Feeds
http://planet.hackerspaces.org/ aggregates as many hackerspaces blog feeds as possible, including hackerspaces | flux.
Currently available in English. See that announcement to have your hackerspace's feed included.
Also, you can check out the super-stylish hackerspaces soup on soup.io, a fellow startup from the Metalab! It is teh awsum.

Check the Hackerspaces Xchange group for resources to be shared between spaces.
[edit] Webinar
http://www.dimdim.com - Open Source webinar software that makes GotoMeeting look like amateurs. This software is hosted by dimdim so there is nothing to download or install. Just sign up for an account. There is a free version for upto 20 guest and a $99/year professional version for 100 guest. The software is Flash browser based and extremely fast. Use it to hold classes so other hackerspaces can participate.
