typo(s), tendency and text

I couldn't blog every day about the event I am attending in Berlin. There is too much going on, talks to (not) see, all the interesting people in the hallways of the bcc, workshops, parties. So far I have seen talks about designing your own stuff you need and the upcoming (probable) development towards decentralized production of physical objects where design and production proces are open sourced, and people don't necessarily depend on fordistic production method anymore. I have heard a talk about a model and test case of decentralized social software as well, but otherwise I haven't seen many talk, and therefore it makes me really happy, that the filming and encoding process seems to go so much faster this year.

Since I moved to Bergen, Norway in october, I wanted to announce an initiative that I hereby start. Inspired by the Hackerspace movement I am convinced that it is much more fun and much more likely to meet likeminded people and do and make cool stuff, if you have a physical space, where all kinds of human beings can come and meet on equal terms to follow their interests. So far I have lived in a region where there was at least two such places to go to, whereas one of them was a designated Hackerspace. So I startet a wiki page on hackerspaces.org, a mailing list and a website so far. If you are interested, even remotely, please let me hear it.

Right now ideas and actions are needed, and I am very curious how everything will turn out.
