We would love that! After doing a few, we'll definitely look into putting together a tutorial for how to organize a Hack Club yourself. The more, the merrier!

- kn0thing 16y agoYes, this is a model we want copied all over in cities where geek culture languishes. Having lived in SF & Cambridge, I'm not worried about either of those cities, but I know there are plenty others like New York that could use self-organized Hack Clubs to bring hackers together to simply make cool stuff.
- ilovecomputers 16y agoI wouldn't say New York is lacking a geek scene. They have a major hackerspace of all things: http://www.nycresistor.com/ http://www.nycresistor.com/
- kn0thing 16y agoYou're right, it's not lacking a geek scene, I'd just like to see more light-hearted-let's-just-build-something events where no one has to be worried about a business-guy telling them about his/her "next big thing." In that vein, although I'm still YC's Ambassador to the East, there will be no Y Combinator pitching.
- sachitgupta 16y agoWhat about the 'non-geeks' learning how to hack :D? I'm finally at a point where I can make a functional page with PHP and ZEND! Also - on ilovecomputers' point, I've organized a TEDx event and I'm helping with another right now; I'd be happy to help organizing online resources or anything else!
