Hacklabs! What are these things?

The London Hacklabs Collective is a group of people interested in using technology to bring about social change. Open access political spaces used for independent media, the promotion of free/open source software and other emancipatory technologies. They are spaces for the sharing of skills and also places that aim to demystify the haze that often surrounds IT and its applications.

Free (donation) internet and computer access, Free Software distribution, video and audio editing, using and making radio transmitters, participation in wireless internet projects, provision of computer resources and help to activist events, Independent Media Centres etc.
