Hello everyone, The same article popped up on our radar. Interesting development indeed that I believe we should welcome. Strange though that they do not involve the already existing hackspaces in the city. Perhaps that's planned for the future, let's see how that will develop. We also wondered to what extend it's really imperial college that's in charge, and not the commercial partners that are mentioned. Again, as soon as some first hacks take place over there we'll see.
