Sharing a space is certainly a positive thing to me, I think what
forskningsavd has got going with utkanten is something to emulate.

I've found a Facebook group at
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=135830986444300 and a pad at
http://pad.planka.nu/husfix so there doesn't seem to exist an organizational
structure yet. I guess if we involve ourselves with this we can have a more
organic role than what we had going at AK4.

I'd like to get to know more specifics, like how it actually looks, and what
we're allowed to do with this place. But seeing people from piratbyrån
involved with this does instill me with some more confidence.

We don't have to pay anything to use the UFS space. If we're to stay at a
place where we'll have to pay (at least a share of) the rent, it means we
need to devote some time to how where going to do that. If we are to start
having membership fees, to me it feels like quite an important thing that
the new space is better than the one we have.

Moving will be a hassle regardless, and I don't want to go rushing into it.
That is something that happened with the AK4 space. I guess thats why I'm
being all defensive.

It's hard to find a day that works for everybody, but whenever you find a
free wednesday to come by, I'd be really interested in hearing more about
this. :)
