hackerspaces.org regular meeting

¶    Status of group registration on libera.chat (bronsen):
        - hackerspaces.org/.well-known proof is in place, waiting on libera staff
        - => still WIP
        - => bronsen will poke staff for an update

¶    Promoting Spaceapi (zeno4ever):
        - more hackerspaces should use and provide data for https://spaceapi.io/
        - we have no idea what keeps them from using spaceapi
        - How can we convince spaces to do adopt spaceapi:

• • - find or develop a small hardware project (microcontroller with button) to easily update a spaces open/close status
    • - => interim results to be discussed at next meeting (2021-08-08)
  • - incorporate into the hackerspace in a box starter kit(tm)
  • - ask spaceapi.io people if they have propaganda material such as videos, or if they would be willing to hold a talk about spaceapi at $some_conferences
    • - one such talk: https://media.ccc.de/v/cosin-27-the_spaceapi_and_why_your_hackerspace_should_implement_it
    • - recent blog post https://hackaday.com/2021/06/18/do-you-spaceapi/
• - some spaces do use spaceapi
• - spaces on the hso wiki can set a spaceapi property, in addition to the directory of spaceapi.io
• - directory list is 'curated', what are the 'rules' to get approved/denied on the directory list. Zeno4ever will ask.
• - right now usa is still heavy into corona recovery, spaceapi might not something thats hight on the list of things to do.
