I'm not so sure. Maybe 10 years ago. I used to be involved with the hackerspace scene in the UK but I got sick of the politics. Like all subcultures, past a certain point it starts attracting the sociopaths.

But then, I guess it is for the wider world as well! Anything worth anything is worth fighting to control (for some).
