== Financing ==
+
Finanzierungs-Modell: Jedes Mitglied bezahlt 25 Euro im Monat mittels Dauerauftrag.
+
Das Geld sollte möglichst jeweils am 1. des Monats auf unserem Konto eingehen.
+
Verein: Es ist sinnvoll den Raum als Verein anzumieten um Verantwortung und Mitspracherecht gerecht zu teilen. Hierzu hat sich der Verein
+
Wirdorange angeboten. Ein Modell basierend auf Mitgliedsschaft wurde gewählt.
+
(realraum.at)
+
 
+
Funding of the C4 is mostly obtained through the monthly member fees; 55 members (50 active, 5 passive) do their part in paying the rent and service
+
bills. Occasionally, donations or income from hosted events floods into the coffers of C4, and since there is always something that needs fixing or
+
improving, is greatly appreciated.
+
(http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/C4)
+
 
+
Der laufende Betrieb wird durch die Beiträge der über 120 Mitglieder finanziert. Förder- und Sponsorengelder,
+
unter anderem aus dem '''Netzkultur-Budget der Stadt Wien („Netznetz“)''', ermöglichen den Ausbau des Raumes, Anschaffung von Equipment,
+
und größere Vorhaben.
+

+
== Draft of letter to potential enthusiasts ==
+
Dear recipient, dear reader,
+
+
The goal of the present letter is to reach out to the creative minds of people dissatisfied with the ordinary
+
and thrilled by the prospect of using things in ways they weren't supposed to be used in.
+
+
We plan to create a lieu for hackers to meet, socialize and be creative.
+
A space bursting with new ideas in the realms of hardware, software, electronics, new media and any other
+
topics lurking at the back of one's mind just waiting to emerge.
+
+
This Hackerspace (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackerspace) would be a place to meet like-minded people,
+
engage in projects, hold or participate in workshops, exchange ideas and collaborate,
+
give or listen to talks, or simply hang out and have a beer or Club-Mate with people who share your interests.
+
+
We want to stress that this place shall be open to anybody, irrespective of gender, nationality or interests,
+
as long as they're gripped by creating or taking apart things, turn they out to be art, new software,
+
interesting hardware, or a new approach to anything related to science, communication, social interaction or,
+
for that matter, politics.
+
+
If you've never been to such a Hackerspace, we encourage you to have a look at existing and successful venues
+
abroad. Among the most popular ones today are the ''Metalab'' in Vienna (http://metalab.at/wiki/Folder:V5a-en),
+
the ''C4'' in Cologne (https://koeln.ccc.de/) or the ''C-Base'' in Berlin (http://www.c-base.org/).
+
+
We feel that creating a similar infrastructure in Luxembourg would be a chance to fill a real cultural void and
+
encourage local, but also inter-regional, creative interaction and enable the exploration of new boundaries.
+
Further, businesses could - and should be encouraged to - support and harness the potential and creativity
+
that will flourish in such a space.
+
+
Establishing this hackerspace will require access to a physical location and may require provision
+
of support from state and city governments. The space will be run as a non-profit organisation and aim at hosting
+
various organisations, clubs, associations and projects.
+
+
We have assembled a collection of detailed information, a plan of action as well as a brainstorming section at
+
the following URL: http://mallory.lu/wiki/ Please feel free to contribute.
+
+
We would also greatly appreciate if you could forward this letter to your employees, colleagues and friends, talk
+
to other people you think could be interested and get in touch with us by replying to this email (hackerspace@mallory.lu).
+
+
Your critical feedback will help us to continue our efforts in getting things done.
+
+
Kind Regards,
+
David Raison <david_AT_mallory_DOT_lu>, Steve Clement <steve_AT_localhost_DOT_lu>
