FYI: I am helping to setup a new hackerspace in São Paulo, Brazil. We currently have 2 proposals for the name: simply "Hackerspace São Paulo" or "Garoa Hack Club". ("Garoa<br>" means drizzle. Our city used to be known by its drizzle) We already have 15 founding members willing to pay R$ 100,00 (equivalent to something around 56 us-dollars) per month for the initial 6 months in order to bootstrap it.<br>
<br>This initiative is a consequence of a presentatino that I gave at the free software studies group at University of São Paulo reporting my trip to USA last march (Noisebridge, HackerDojo, MITERS, MIT FabLab) and last june to Europe (/tmp/lab and LasuiteLogique in Paris, SLUG in Amsterdam, LondonHackspace in London, C-base and CCC in Berlin, CCC in Cologne, BXLHS in Brussels).<br>
