Hey all,

On Sunday the 10th of January 2010 at 19:00 UTC+1(*) there will be an IRC
meeting in #scanhack on the IRC server "labitat.dk" (that is, no "irc.")
using SSL on port 6697. You can also use our webchat here:
https://labitat.dk:9000/ -- but instead of #labitat put in #scanhack as the
channel name. The meeting will be in English, so curious people are *more*
than welcome to join.

The point is to discuss a possible meetup for Scandinavian hackerspaces this
summer, as well as trying to establish a umbrella organization comprising of
the hackerspaces in (but not necessarily limited to) Sweden, Norway,
Finland, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Greenland and Denmark. The idea is that if
we organize on a cross-border scale we'll be able to raise money "on a EU
scale" and have various import agreements (Mate, Mate, Mate), for example.

The meetup next summer should include talks on starting and maintaining
hackerspaces, as well as general hacker talks and workshops.

Disclaimer: Please note that all of this are *my* ideas of what is going to
happen, if you have something to add, think I have it all wrong, or want to
object to anything, then by all means come talk to me/us on Sunday :-)

Here goes the agenda (as it looks right now -- if you want to discuss
something, please add it:

   - EU financing


   - Lobby work?


   - Should we be political?
