Hackerspace

Hackerspace Comunity

A hackerspace (hacklab, hackspace, or makerspace) is a community-operated, not-for-profit workspace where people with common interests, such as computers, electronics, technology, science, digital art, or crafts, can meet, socialize, and collaborate. Hackerspaces can be viewed as open community labs incorporating elements of machine shops, workshops, and/or studios where hackers can come together to share resources and knowledge to build and make things. Foremost it is a community focused on equally minded people. Hackerspace

Why 48?

Why the number 48/0x30/0b00110000? Because the previous space that we used was at Čápkova 48. And because with other numbers like base64 we would have problems being found by people searching for us on google :)
