I have a very diverse range of experience from around the world, from technical manager of a nightclub in KL to tour manager in the Middle East, looking after robotic dinosaurs and an amusement arcade in Moscow, sound engineering at celebrity weddings, and a host of relatively boring things like pro audio repairs and sysadminning in the UK. What these experiences all have in common is solving problems in novel ways using my own expertise and including the ideas and concerns of many. I'm currently involved in various projects including Talkaoke the mobile chat show, producing a Crowley play, a remote control camera focus, and generally being up to mischief. | |||
I have been a Hackspace member for about a year now, and somehow seem to have entrenched myself in helping with its upkeep, particularly with infrastructure such as wiring, plumbing, chisel sharpening etc.. This will no doubt continue regardless of any election results. | |||
The way the Hackspace runs itself virtually without any rules but common sense never ceases to amaze me, and I very much look forward to being a part of the community as it grows and diversifies, hopefully keeping the tradition of minimal interference from a governing body. We have very exciting times ahead, with an imminent move to bigger premises and the possibility of the membership doubling in the near future. I believe in Hackspace as a new, more creative and non-hierarchical set up. | |||
It can only grow and be a model for other communities. Of course along the way there will be controversies and difficulties, many of which I have experienced and helped to resolve. The way to do it is to take on board everybody's feelings and concerns in a calm and open way and try to find a way through that most people are happy with. | |||
