Communities in motion
Our community has grown to include around 200 members. Not all the members are alike, neither do they have to be or even shouldn’t be. Prosperous community needs diversity and broadness both in membership, skills and needs. This post discusses the current member structure of our community. It also proposes some actions which might be [...]
Teams are the soul of the community. They are engines which create activity and bind people together. Strategy to build teams vary, and there isn’t one model which fits all situations and needs. I’m not going to lecture about the models here. You can google them yourself or go to local library. This blog entry [...]
Bilanguage community

Commonly national/local communities use local language in almost all communication. Example of this is Ubuntu Finland LoCo. They use Finnish language in their community meetings, in common discussions on IRC and also in discussion [...]
Hello World! (or community)
Well…where should I start? Before jumping into experiences and lessons-learned, some background information about me and the community (MNFI, MeeGo Network Finland). My name is Jarkko Moilanen aka kyb3R.

Hacker micro-communities have been the first to form virtual communities. Among hackers, the most common communication network and base for community is Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Hackers lurk on the [...]

Writings, newspaper and journal articles[21, 3, 18, 8], discussions[7], conference presentations[22, 6], guidelines[16] about and for hackerspaces has been done by several authors and hackerspace members. Hackerspaces and Makerspaces (later referred simply as hackerspaces) are here to stay. The movement has grown to include estimate of more than 300 spaces all around the world.

Peculiar word ‘cyberactivism’ seems to emerge more and more in different scientific articles. First thought is that it is just another synonym for hacktivism. The scientific field of cybercrimes, cyberterrorism and cyberactivity is still in motion and defining the ground and terms. No wonder that new words and definitions pop out occasionally. This writing [...]

Some hackerspaces do not allow anyone under 18 to enter without supervision. Reasons for this normally vary a lot, but the most common reason seems to be avoiding accidents. If an accident would happen in a hackerspace, legal consequences could occur in some countries.
