Goal & Definition 

A hackerspace or hackspace (from Hacker and Space) is a real (as opposed to virtual) place where people with common interests, usually in science, 
technology, or digital or electronic art can meet, socialize and collaborate.

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 for people that, [hmm... ech kréien hei keen uerdentleche Saatz zesummen]

We plan to create or initiate a lieu for hardware, software, photography, film,  electronics and other hackers to meet and socialize.
Hackers of course, in the sense of people "doing something out of the ordinary", people unsatisfied with simply using things and,
on the other side, thrilled by the prospects of using things in a way they weren't supposed to be.
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?!] with people that share your interests.

We want to stress, that his place shall be open to anybody, of any gender, with any interests, of any nationality, as long as they're
interested in creating or taking apart things that will turn out to be art, new software, interesting hardware, or a new approach to
anything related to 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 hackerspaces abroad.
Among the most popular hackerspaces 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 for the local but also inter-regional culture,
youth as well as businesses who could - and should be encouraged to - support and harness the potential and creativity that will bristle
in such a space. As a matter of fact, Hackerspaces have repeatedly turned out to be a launchpad for dynamic and successful start-ups.
  • 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. 
We have assembled a collection of in-detail information 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 positive feedback will help us to continue our efforts in getting things done.
