The original summary of what the Electron Club is for was written<br>right when we started four years ago and had no users at all. Since then<br>the number of people using the space has increased and the variety of<br>activities has increased and diversified.<br><br>As this summary no longer fully reflects what we are, it is<br>understandable that some confusions have arisen, so I have updated this<br>a bit to more accurately reflect what goes on in the space (and this<br>mailing list).<br><br>The updated summary now reads:<br><br>*** START ***<br><br>The Electron Club is a voluntary run space where people interested in<br>things
like Free Open Source Software, DIY culture, circuit bending,<br>hardware hacking, computer recycling, streaming, audio and video<br>editing, green technologies, and amateur radio can meet, use equipment,<br>and share and disseminate their skills and ideas.<br><br>We encourage an attitude towards technology, media and DIY production<br>that recognises the relation of these to society and the environment.<br>The Electron Club welcomes debate and the development of practices that<br>question and explore existing and new ways of working and understanding<br>these.<br><br>The space also provides a location that not-for-profit community and<br>discussion groups can use at no charge for meetings and to develop projects.<br><br>All are welcome.<br><br>*** END ***<br><br><br>Of course it's up for discussion, and suggested changes are welcome, but<br>I think it fairly encompasses everything and everyone who is using the<br>space without privileging one group or
perspective over another.<br><br>best wishes<br>Si<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>members mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:members@electronclub.org" href="/mc/compose?to=members@electronclub.org">members@electronclub.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.electronclub.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/members" target="_blank">http://lists.electronclub.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/members</a><br><br>Instructions for changing your mailing list settings:<br><a href="http://lists.electronclub.org/emailhowto.html" target="_blank">http://lists.electronclub.org/emailhowto.html</a><br></div></blockquote></td></tr></table><br>
