Submission + - Shanghai to build 100 Community Hackerspaces (google.com)
taweili writes: A tweet from Shanghai Morning Newspaer's Weibo account, Shanghai Government Technology committee has issued a call for proposal to build 100 community hackerspaces with government funding for equipments and community managing the spaces.
Hackerspaces have been growing rapidly in China since the the first one XinCheJian was started in Shanghai last November as reported here by CNN Go. Currently there are three hackerspaces in China with XinCheJian in Shanghai, Maxpace in Beijing and Chaihuo in Shenzhen.
It looks like the governments are paying attention to the trend and are getting into supporting (or "regulating") the movement?"
