Dear BRMLAB-Staff,
My name is Alejandro Corbi, a spanish freelance software developer based in
Berlin, Germany since 2009. Together with my girlfriend i am preparing the
realisation of a non-profit project which you can find a more detailed
description about attached to this email and under the following URL:
http://www.alexcorbi.com/pdf/project/project_dossier_workshop.pdf
Basically, our project consists on contacting and meeting
people/organisations that are actively working in the areas of Knowledge
Sharing and Open Data around the world. We want to document these
encounters and create an online plattform to showcase projects that share
the philosophy and goals behind these topics.
That's why we are contacting Hackerspaces along the countries we are
planing to visit in order to establish contact and study a possible
collaboration. We see Hackerspaces as the kind of places where the
Knowledge Sharing philosophy is represented at its best, and think it would
be perfect if we just could come visit you, meet you and document what is
going on in your space.
Also, in order to contribute ourselves we are offering to run a workshop,
in which we are teaching how to visualize Open Data using open source
tools. In case you feel like hosting it, we would feel really grateful to
do it, otherwise just meeting you would also be for sure a nice experience.
I hope you like our idea and look forward to receiving your feedback, if
you have any questions regarding our project, please do not hesitate to ask.
Best regards,
Alex Corbi.
