Magnus Eriksson: Labbet utan egenskaper (2011) [Swedish]
Filed under thesis | Tags: · hacker culture, hackerspace, technology
Uppsatsen undersöker ”hackerspaces” både genom empirisk analys och teorikonstruktion. Hackerspaces beskrivs som ett fenomen som uppstår genom att människor med olika målsättningar och drivkrafter kommer samman genom en gemensam praktik och delande av resurser och kunskap. Därmed är hackerspacet självgenererande snarare än bestämt av en extern logik. Trots denna självgenerering uppstår en specifik praktik och ett visst perspektiv på teknikutveckling då utforskandet inom hackerspaces sker utifrån en specifik teknisk och social sammansättning. Denna praktik benämns spekulativ design vilken består av det konstanta utvecklandet av nya metoder och verktyg för att inkorporera allt fler möjligheter till teknikutveckling inom hackerspacets sociala och materiella sammansättning. Den konstrateras mot andra teorier om teknik och politik som fokuserar på tillgång till teknik, ingrepp i tekniska system och teknik som verktyg för att implementera en politisk målsättning.

Lars Weiler, Jens Ohlig: Building a Hacker Space: A Hacker Space Design Pattern Catalogue (2007)
Filed under slideshow | Tags: · hacker culture, hackerspace
“With the help of Design Patterns we will show you how to set up your own Hacker Space. The Design Patterns are based on more than 10 years of experience with setting up and running a Hacker Space.
Before the Chaos Communication Camp 2007 the Chaos Computer Club received a question from the US-based Hacker Foundation that we should help them in setting up Hacker Spaces (or club rooms) in the USA. After the Camp they did a tour through Germany and Austria and visited a couple of Hacker Spaces. Each of them gave a presentation about their history and how they managed to set up the Hacker Space and keep it running. In Cologne we prepared a Design Pattern Catalogue with the usual problem you encounter while finding the perfect location and managing the community.
This presentation received a large acknowledgment from the Hacker Foundation. Now we will present the Ultimate Hacker Space Design Pattern Catalogue including comments and enhancements from other local Chaos Computer Clubs.
Attend this talk when you are about to start your local Chaos Computer Club or Hacker Space somewhere else on earth and learn from our experience!” (authors)
