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/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, photography, 
film, electronics 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,
give or listen to talks, or simply hang out and have a beer [Oh... ech mengen do
musse mer kucken,  do musse mer schon definitiv e Club sinn, soss dierfe mer 
daat wuel net?! (soulaang mer et net verkaafen misst daat dach keen problem sinn)] 
with people who share your interests.

We want to stress that his 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 mac require provision
of support from state and city governments. The space will be run as a non-profit organisation.

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/

We would also greatly appreciate if you could forward this letter, talk to other people you 
think could be interested and get in touch with us.

Your critical feedback will help us to continue our efforts in getting things done.

* will try to get support from state-government, city-government
* from metalab folder: "space for free exchange of information, and collaboration between
technical-creative Enthusiasts, Hackers and Founders. The Lab is dedicated to providing 
Infrastructure for projects and offers a physical space for interested people from the wide 
fields of IT, new media, and hacker culture."
* will act as a non-profit org.
