As a final note, I think also that helping other Hackspaces where we can would also be great for us to do, to expand national Hackspace groups. I have worked hard on events like EMF to help with this, but I think London Hackspace could do a lot more to further this goal. | As a final note, I think also that helping other Hackspaces where we can would also be great for us to do, to expand national Hackspace groups.

Hi, if you've not met me before it's probably because for the last year or so I've mostly been only visible online. The other reason is that until a year ago I had very long hair and a big beard. I've been a member of the space for quite some time and hopefully gives me a good perspective when dealing with any problems. | Hi, if you've not met me before it's probably because for the last year or so I've mostly been only visible online.

Hi, I'm tgreer. You may remember me from such subgroups as amateur radio and 3D printing. I've recently (read: in August) completed a tour of duty at EMF, where I spent most of my time driving people from A -> B. | Hi, I'm tgreer.

In addition I think that one of the unspoken responsibilities of a trustee is to act as a voice of reason. We have many enthusiastic and passionate members, and we want to keep focusing that enthusiasm for positive ends. | In addition I think that one of the unspoken responsibilities of a trustee is to act as a voice of reason.

I have been a Hackspace member since shortly after arriving to London in 2011. I started by doing some electronics projects and getting involved in photography in the darkroom. Then I got a more active involvement as we moved to our current site in 447 Hackney Road, helping out with the works and the move, and setting up the new place. | I have been a Hackspace member since shortly after arriving to London in 2011.

I have been a Hackspace member for over a year, and visit the space often. I am a member of theNot Just Arduino and Acoustic Hacking groups, and have done many Arduino and electronics projects. When I first joined, I was a complete beginner to electronics and coding, so I understand the problems faced by newcomers, and also that the Hackspace community is a great place to learn new skills. I have also helped many others with their first Arduino projects. | I have been a Hackspace member for over a year, and visit the space often.

I'm happy with how the space is currently run and I don't see any reason to change things drastically, trustees past and present have done a fantastic job of keeping a community of over 1000 people stable and growing despite the ever present threat of drama and that’s what I’d like to continue as a trustee. | I'm happy with how the space is currently run and I don't see any reason to change things drastically, trustees past and present have done a fantastic job of keeping a community of over 1000 people stable and growing despite the ever present threat of drama and that’s what I’d like to continue as a trustee. | ||

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. | Hi there, I’m kraptv.

I’ve been involved with the Hackspace since late 2011 and since that time I have tried to make the Hackspace as useful a place as it can be for others to make and do things whether that’s through helping the fit-out of Hackney Road, small maintenance and admin or providing help, advice and ad-hoc tours. | I’ve been involved with the Hackspace since late 2011 and since that time I have tried to make the Hackspace as useful a place as it can be for others to make and do things whether that’s through helping the fit-out of Hackney Road, small maintenance and admin or providing help, advice and ad-hoc tours. | ||

I believe I am a good candidate for trustee and would deal with people fairly and with respect whilst taking consideration of the rest of the Hackspace as a whole. | I believe I am a good candidate for trustee and would deal with people fairly and with respect whilst taking consideration of the rest of the Hackspace as a whole. | ||

You may not recognise me from my picture, I change my hair colour occasionally, but you may recognise me from my posts on the mailing list. I’m the one who made Pteri, the giant black pterodactyl that hangs in the main room on the ground floor, and the wooden bird skeletons that were on last year’s Royal Institution Christmas Lectures. Both made in the hackspace. In the old hackspace, I helped restart and build the old darkroom and helped out on several maker-faires in the past. | You may not recognise me from my picture, I change my hair colour occasionally, but you may recognise me from my posts on the mailing list.

I've not always been able to attend the hackspace in person but I've kept tabs on it from afar as I like to see the hackspace thrive. | I've not always been able to attend the hackspace in person but I've kept tabs on it from afar as I like to see the hackspace thrive. | ||
