An evening with LeLoop, a French Hacker Space « Writings of the Rude Hitchhiker. Yesterday evening I had the pleasure of walking around Paris with Cass Phillipps and Sarah Prevette.

An evening with LeLoop, a French Hacker Space « Writings of the Rude Hitchhiker

A few blocks into our walk, an intern from Ballou PR ran up and said “you’re Cass Phillipps!” And the evening went from there. We were joined by another attendee of FailCon, who was on our way to a hacker space – I didn’t know what a hacker space looked like in Paris, and Sarah wanted to go, so we followed. The hacker space is called LeLoop, and from what I understand, they are currently on their 2nd location, though I hear they will have to find a third soon.

You may wonder why they keep moving – well, that is because LeLoop operates under the invitation of a squatter space… Walking into the beautiful blue building with a courtyard, the three of us thought there was a lost-in-translation moment when one of the guys told us this was a ‘squatter space.’ 1) Squatters must rest there 24 hours without being kicked out in order to gain living rights. Hackerspaces, HackLabs & co. Hackerspaces – The Beginning (the book) In December of 2008, a group of hackers was sitting on the floor with faces aglow with laptop light cruising the internet and skyping friends in and listening to death metal.

Hackerspaces – The Beginning (the book)

It was 12 days before 25c3. Astera and I had a conversation that went something like this: B: There should be a book. A: Yes, there should. B: We have 12 days. The twelve days we had was until CCC started. Within a week we had been scorched by a flame war, gotten a lot of both written and photographic material submitted and it seemed likely that the book would happen. The 12 days came and went and still the submissions kept coming. Download HackerSpaces: The Beginning! This book documents where the hackerspace movement was in December of 2008. We did this because we wanted it to exist and so it is a reward in itself. After these years, the book is finally free in the world as a pdf.

Transformez-vous en hackers

OWNI vous propose de tester vos connaissances. Attention: sujet contagieux. C’est une histoire qui a commencé du temps des BBS, ces ancêtres des forums de discussion, que raconte Hackerspaces, the beginning [en] : un e-book de plus de 100 pages de textes et d’images sur les hackerspaces, espaces physiques où se réunissent les hackers, ces bidouilleurs qui utilisent les objets dans un but autre que leur usage initial. Une idée folle lancée par deux membres historiques du milieu, Astera et Bre, qui se souviennent : En décembre 2008, un groupe de hackers était assis par terre, leurs faces illuminées par la lumière du portable naviguant sur Internet et skypant des amis, du death metal en fond.C’était douze jours avant 25c3 (le congrès annuel du Chaos Computer Club -CCC, [en]-, mythique groupe de hackers allemands).
