Because every good idea that was once written down has been misinterpreted, we included information that led us to the system and the guidelines in this repository as The Legacy. This should by used as a "cipher" to interpret the system and the guidelines correctly and to explain a bit of the rationale behind them.
Some of these documents are archived in the `legacy` folder of [the Hack the Hackerspace repository](https://github.com/0x20/HTH).

* [**The fall of the hacker groups**](The_Fall_of_Hacker_Groups) makes the claim that it is becoming rare for creativity to arise from groups or teams. Even though the technological advances should make it easier to create and maintain hacker groups, they are becoming increasingly rare. The author poses the theory that this is because the same technological revolution bombards us with a constant flow of information and fear, and because we dread the thought of being alike, of sharing multiple views and opinions. As such, we are turning progressively judgmental of who we should be partnering with, on the basis that "they do not understand".
* [**The tyranny of structurelessness**](http://www.jofreeman.com/joreen/tyranny.htm) is an essay by American feminist Jo Freeman inspired by her experiences in a 1960s women's liberation group that concerns power relations within radical feminist collectives. The essay looks back on the experiments of the feminist movement in creating organizations that do not have any structure or leadership. Jo Freeman states that leadership and structure did actually exist in these organizations but its existence was denied. This made it hard to hold the leadership accountable for their actions and made it hard for newcomers to figure out how the organization worked. As a solution, Freeman suggests formalizing the existing hierarchies in the group and subjecting them to democratic control.

B) It is arguably the case, though, that the globalizing aspect of the
Internet has brought the feeling of upsetting commonality to the citizens
of even the more unpopulated places.

I wonder whether there are still enough people that have it in them to
withstand this crap and turn the space in a thriving creative environment.

The observations made in the article are very true, and the "dangers" are very real. However, I think we have to be careful about what message we get from this.

We will not be able to change the people. At least not in the short run. What we can do is make a system that gets the best out of all these flawed people. A system that minimizes our flaws and enables us to be excellent.

@Mimor the title is 'The Fall of Hacker Groups', a bit broader then hackerspaces
but indeed the described trend can probably be seen broader.

On a positive note, I did the exercise of trying to think of active groups of the
last couple of years that created an impact:
console hacking https://fail0verflow.com/
open whispersystems https://whispersystems.org/
ccc - the impact of their conferences/camps is still growing http://events.ccc.de/
