Hi guys,

A couple of months back I learned about the SpaceFED project. One of the
goals of the project is to build a federated Wi-Fi authentication network
for hackerspaces. It the time, I liked the idea, but since only two
hackerspaces were working on it, I left it for what it was.

When I was traveling Europe this month, I've visited a couple of
hackerspaces and noticed each of them has a wireless network, but
authentication is not consistent across them. One hackerspace had a nice
QR-code on the wall containing SSID and WPA key, others required some
manual configuration.

Anyway, this reminded me about the SpaceFED network and it seems a couple
more hackerspaces are connected now. Although not published in their wiki
yet, I heard spaces from four different countries are involved already.

I'd like to think that the project already is successful, since it's being
used for months already and hackers benefit from it. However, we could all
take more advantage from this project if more hackerspaces would
participate. Therefore, I'd like to invite you to check out the project
wiki at https://spacefed.net/wiki/index.php/Spacenet

Regards,
Mark

PS. full disclosure: I'm not involved with the project, but I do know the
guys who started it
