We are a group of people creating a hackerspace in Amsterdam: http://techinc.nl
Our goal is to create a meeting space where like-minded people can meet each other and exchange ideas, learn together, work together, and have fun together.
For now, our group consists mostly of IT professionals with daily jobs, or freelancers & consultants, with some students and some artists mixed in. "Hacking" is a passion and a hobby and a dream: our interests are hardware-hacking, software-hacking, hacktivism, DYI, sharing knowledge, electronics, security, science...
We are registered as a vereniging, & have about 65 members on the mailing list; we have weekly social meeting where between 10 and 20 people show up every week. This is also where we hold our "members meetings" and discuss important topics that were brought on the mailing list, and we all make decisions together.
Funding is coming from the individual membership monthly contributions.
There are 5 board members that take legal responsibility for signing contracts, payments, keys, security, and any other formal & official things.
We have a permanent space in the ACTA building at Louwesweg 1, and an open social evening every Wednesday from 7pm.
