The next two open meetings for the Hacklab are taking place this
Sunday the 2nd of May (tomorrow) at 5pm at at the at the ex-Grand
Banks social centre and 5pm Saturday the 8th of May at Freedom
Press Bookshop, Whitechapel. Sunday's shorter meeting will mainly
be about the plans for our next benefit event on the 15th of May,
while the 8th of May meeting will be more about the long term
direction of the Hacklab. All are welcome to both.

Social centre address: Grand Banks, 156-158 Fortess Road, Tufnell Park, NW5 - just opposite Tufnell Park tube. Bus: 4, 134 or 210. http://www.wombles.org.uk

Freedom Press Bookshop address: Angel Alley, 84b Whitechapel High Street, London E1 7QX. The alley is next to the KFC near Aldgate East tube, Whitechapel Art Gallery exit.

A new Media Hacklab is getting started in the east end of London. Based at the Freedom Press bookshop and social centre, it will be an open access computer lab with internet access. Going beyond the preponderance of internet cafes, a Hacklab is a political space used for alternative media, the use and development of free software and other emancipatory technologies, skill sharing and collective learning, community projects and anything else we can organise. The projects that happen there will depend on the commitment of those involved.
