We discuss how to build a thriving community and how we implement do-ocracy in our hackerspaces.

  • How to resolve interpersonal conflict.
  • The value and dangers of meetings.
  • How to give power to the people who do stuff.
  • Rules, lack of rules and loopholes.
  • How the hackerspace blueprint can help you build a better community and much more..

Eight community builders discuss lessons learned from their hackerspaces.
