introduction by Pavel Stratil

Hi all! At first, a quick yade-yada introduction about the Vaizard Institute, an organization, which will actually run the place.

- Who are we: A nonprofit organization for everyone with great ideas and the will to realize them. We operate thanks to the efforts of our volunteers, friends and employees who care about their surroundings.

- Description: The Vaizard institute is a non-govermental non-profit organization founded to aid the general development of the society by providing opportunities to those, who want to make the world a better place. The institute supports projects in the fields of sport and health, culture and art, R&D and education, human rights, and sustainable development.

- Mission: We want to change the world for the better, create opportunities for individuals as well as nations and generally do things that make sense. We strive to be recognized for our transparency, awesome projects, innovations and our ability to adapt to whatever the feature holds. We want to inspire others and lead them towards a brighter feature.

- Vision: We dream of a world in which everything serves a purpose. We envision a society that sees things as they truly are, and strives for what is correct in essence. A society that lives in harmony with its environment, able to thrive even under unfavorable circumstances, taking decisions that bring benefit to all.

Basically, we can offer 3 things: 1) place for co-rent We're adapting a 120sqm room with 7m high ceilings into a coworking space with limited access. We'd like it to serve as a meeting place for people to inspire each other in work, what ever it might be. The price can be here ok enough to not impede with how the base is currently run. 2) place for rent What ever you like but for something better then (but rather close to) a commertial rent. To give you an idea, the standard rent in the place is approx. 120 CZK/sqm/month. 3) merge you in - basically, we aimed to create a well equipped hackerspace on our own at some point and atract people to it. So, we could just merge you guys in (though sooner then we expected, so there might be some bumps along the way). On the inside we function in ways similar i.e. linux distros do. We have teams dedicated to certain causes and the top management's role lies mostly in setting long-term goals and coordinating things so that synergies arise, which bring in usefull stuff such as skills, people, or money. You'd became one such team with rights and responibilities carried out by members who are able to and wish to do them and have support of the rest. If this were the case, we'd just aim for keeping a status quo in terms of membership fees, there only might be some projects we'd like you to priorize to help the common good. This possibility would require some time before we get to know you and your needs better and vice versa.

ATM we are using approx. 800sqm in a building with approx 2600sqm. If Vaizard succeeds, then we can freely expand till the wole building is occupied. Expansion's part of our strategic plan for Y2014. Once our intranet is finally up and running, a large part of strategic documents will be avail. to general public w/o any access restrictions.
