Keeping the Hackspace ticking along, organizing more cool events like the open days and kicking up the activity on social media (more blog posts!) are all things I'd love to do.

Hi there, I’m kraptv.  I originally joined the space because of the amateur radio club - I really love communications.  When I arrived, I installed networking to the radio shack, built the telephone system, and volunteered for infrastructure duty to improve the space.
 
Since then, I’ve listened to and assisted several fellow members with their goals, from helping champion the disabled to bringing in donations of technology and infrastructure bits that improves our space safety and security. I have enjoyed presenting at EMF and have actively given open house tours, washed dishes, disposed of dozens of bin bags, sorted recycling, and done plenty of sweeping and dishwashing  - something I’ll continue regardless of election outcome. Actions matter over talk.
 
I believe in participating in progress rather than questioning results - and sensitivity matters when handling difficult issues.  I stand for more sharing, less stealing, and better management of ‘collective stuff’ at the space.
 
Professionally, I’m a ‘technical diplomat’ for a large technology company - I understand the need for positive collaboration between members and the outside and am willing to take responsibility in managing information requests (PR, etc.) for the benefit of the space.
 
My organisational experience is also small and intimate - in 1997 I co-founded and still adminster an internet co-operative (skylab.org) with 150 members, volunteer in personally mentoring young technology professionals, and firmly believe in technology innovation as empowerment for a connected, egalitarian, and better life for everyone.
 
I like fun. Let’s have at it, gang.  ;-)
