Here at Xindanwei, we embrace and encourage Hacker Culture by supporting a team of hackers to set up their own projects in Xindanwei and stimulate others to initiative projects with similar motto and mentality:

Cheers, Liu Yan 2010/7/20 Jonathan Buford <jon.buf...@gmail.com> > We are setting up BootHK now (http://boot.hk), which is planned to be a > network of spaces that do both coworking and hackerspace roles. What I ran > into is that it would be difficult to create the hackerspace space without > some other foundation since the rent in HK is quite expensive. So, we will > be first doing a coworking space for coworking and meetups and then opening > some other locations within the country (it takes about 1 hour at most to go > from anywhere to anywhere via public transport here) as we have excess funds > from the first location. So, I think the two do go hand in hand. > > Jon > @jonbuford > > > On Tue, Jul 20, 2010 at 1:01 AM, David Troy > <davet...@roundhousetech.com>wrote: > >> The hackerspace in Singapore (hackerspace.sg) is an awesome blend of >> coworking and hackerspace.
