Inspired in part by the open source movement, public spaces are emerging where people congregate to share ideas, make cool projects, teach, and brainstorm with collaborators on everything from coding to cooking. With no leaders, they have one rule: "Be excellent to each other." Take a tour of the hackerspace Noisebridge, located in the heart of San Francisco's Mission District, with co-founder Mitch Altman.

  • Check out hackerspaces (dot) org to find a space in your community.

  • @busybuzzbuzz Well, that's sort of the idea here. We're learning and building our own things so that we control the technology, and the knowledge. We make it open (and as financially free as possible) to others, anyone can come and learn at places like this. While noisebridge as an org isn't about direct political action, there are all types of political views voiced there everyday, and many interesting projects are birthed through interactions there.

  • I have a 5,500sf building in the East Bay (Richmond; on the main st, MacDonald Ave) that is getting fixed up; been empty for many years. Hmmm, anyone interest in helping create another HackerSpace? Cldupont at gmail dot...

  • Awesome video. It explains very well the core principles of Hackerspaces. Noisebridge is one of the hackerspaces who inspired the people who created Garoa Hacker Clube, the first Brazilian hackerspace :)

  • Hi I would like to use this video for promoting a hackerspace conference in IndieGoGo.

  • Cool video! Thanks for helping dispel some myths about the meaning of the word "hacker"!

  • Great idea. This gives me hope for the race :-)

  • This is all meaningless if it's in the framework of a capitalst mode of production. Most technology is in the hands of very powerful and wealthy intertests that gain great advantage from its development. where is the sense of class struglle among these young people? We have a US army of murders blowing innocent civilians apart in Iraq and Afghanistan. I think their time could be spent resisting the dominant paradigm.

  • Good explanation, greetings from TkkrLab, makerspace in Enschede Netherlands

  • great video about hackerspaces. shackspace.de in stuttgart, germany always welcomes new people.
