I wish I could've gotten the time off work for Hackers on a Plane. I helped Nick publicize it but couldn't myself participate. Only in wildest dreams would it have succeeded as it has. Looking back at these patterns and stories, now 13 years into the i3Detroit hackerspace, is wild. They are not a strict prophecy, but they foretell a lot of the things we've encountered along the way. (Never had anyone try to live at the space, but pretty much everything else and so much more...) I think the hardest problem has been shaking new members of the idea that they're just passengers. Obviously the founders and early members knew they were shaping things as they went along. But later members perceive the group as "fully formed" and don't seem as comfortable taking the reins.
