Vote for me & your wildest dreams will come true.
Mat Stace
Hi, I'm still Mat, and I still play with radios, and still pop in to the main space when I've remembered enough change for a bottle of Mate.
Standing for trustee in 2016 was a daunting prospect, but it has nothing on this year; to make no bones about it, I expect this to be a tough few months, but I'm willing to give it my best, and do what I can to try and ensure that the space continues after March 2018.
Jose Vidal
Jose Vidal (crom)
Engineer, continuous learner and a gamer. I am a learning junkie and an enthusiastic hacker: mechanical, programming and electronic stuff.
I'm currently playing with TI microcontollers using direct register access model to make my own implementation of Space Invaders in C99 for the ARM-Cortex-M4F TM4C123 I organized a Robotics/microprocessor course group studying "EDX: Embedded Systems - Shape The World" and have been involved in various infrastructure projects over the years.
I have been a member since 2011 and have seen a lot of changes, a lot of excellent people doing excellent things and more than a little bit of drama!
I would like to take a more active part in our community so I offer my service here.
Guess what? You don't have many options:
a) Vote for anyone you like
B) Become a candidate
C) Complain about things and do nothing about it
Vote because you can!,
José
Lex Robinson
I live a couple of roads away from the current space, am quite an active member and I am belligerent as hell.
I will get stuff done.
Samantha Thompson
Professionally I come from a biotech background although these days I work in software and infrastructure development. Over the last three years I've had the honour of being a trustee of the Hackspace, I'm standing for reelection because I'd like to continue to help to steer the space in a positive direction. I believe that we need to focus on a few main areas:
- We of course need to explore a range of potential new locations and plan for a number of contingencies based on what is truly available.
- We must continue to support competent and knowledgeable maintainers and subgroup organisers who are given reasonable autonomy and are essential to keep the space functioning and alive.
- Over the last couple of years I believe we've become tougher but fairer on people who flout the rules and/or disrespect the equipment or community spirit, but I believe the further work is required, possibly a reboot or rethink that allows us to sustain a creative, technical and sociable community.
There is a lot of uncertainty in the near future but we also have a lot of things in our favour: A great community of people with huge collective experience. Accumulated assets that will help us manifest our future wherever we go. A group of like minded trustees that I feel share a similar vision.
