 It has come to our attention that on Saturday, November 28th, the police of Malmoe conducted a reportedly unwarranted search in the location of the hackerspace [http://forskningsavd.se/ Forskningsavdelningen].
-Police sources '''(FIXME: which sources?)''' claim that they acted on suspicion of preparations for hacking and theft due to the fact that Wi-Fi equipment and key copying machines were expected and found on site. However, these tools are not illegal ''per se'' and have perfectly legal uses. Lock-picking, for example, is practised as a sport by members of official clubs in Europe; these regularly engage in education of the public and deliver striking demonstrations about the security flaws of common locks. Participation in this sport is no more a preparation for burglary than sport shooting is a preparation for murder. '''(FIXME: Would we like to change this to a different example in order to steer clear of people misinterpreting the preceding sentence as an endorsement of gun nuts? Do we want to have the word "murder" in this document?)'''

-We are members of the [http://metalab.at/ Metalab], a hackerspace in Vienna - and as such a sister project of Forskningsavdelningen. Our organisation is privately financed as well as publicly subsidised and has been host to widely recognised '''(FIXME: by whom?)''' talks, conferences, workshops, and social events. Moreover, the Metalab has given birth to various commercial, civic, philanthropic, and social ventures. These sorts of advances can only grow in certain environments, and hackerspaces - like the Metalab - strive to provide such an environment. An environment that may seem odd or ominous to outsiders. An environment that usually harbours technology that's not a common sight in just any home or office. But after all, this is the whole point of a hackerspace.

 Hackerspaces enrich their region's cultural and technological scene. They are places of information, discussion, experimentation and openness. They are the real world manifestations of a new paradigm, originated in the free, border-less and undiscriminating nature of the internet and its communications structures. Hackerspaces are places where freedom of opinion meets creativity. They're the birth-place of start-up firms that employ cutting edge technology, of altruistic community projects and of art in new media.
