Hackerspaces: Fablab or think tank, incubator or idea farm?


10:20 - 11:15am on Sunday, December 13 2009 in Main Room

Panel discussion about the growing global hackerspace movement. Why are they important, what benefit do they provide for the communities and are they really anything more than a bunch of nerds taking computers apart?

Sean Bonner (co-founder of Crash Space) is the moderator, with panelists:
1) Bre Petis, co-founder of NYC Resistor
2) Mitch Altman, co-founder of Noisebridge SF
3) Jens Ohlig, co-founder of CCC Köln
4) Meng Weng Wong, co-founder of Hackerspace.sg
