Writings, articles, discussions, conference presentations, guidelines about hackerspaces has been done by several authors and hackerspace members. Also the amount of Hackerspaces around the world is rising (probably). In brief, hackerspace as movement is alive and kicking. What seems to be missing is more detailed information about different hackerspaces and their members.<br style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">

This survey aims to fill the information gap. This survey does not have academic origins. Instead it was born out of pure personal curiosity. The results of this survey will provide more detailed information about hackerspaces, which might be interesting for us (hackers) and to the rest of the world. It might give some hints about the status and orientation of hackerspaces.<br style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">
