From Hacklab

Freedom Media HackLab

The Media Hacklab Based at the Freedom Press bookshop and social centre in the east end of London is an open computer lab with free internet access. Going beyond the preponderance of internet cafes, Hacklabs are political spaces used for alternative media, the use and development of free software and other emancipatory technologies, skill sharing and collective learning, community projects and anything else we can organise. The projects that happen there will be limited only by the commitment of those involved.

The media hacklab site is currently under construction. In the meantime we have set up this wiki (an interactive part of the site that anyone can access and edit). The media hacklab project was initiated by the wombles. Here is their webpage about it (http://www.wombles.org.uk/mediahacklab/mediahacklab.php).

The Media Hacklab is based in the Freedom Bookshop (http://www.freedompress.org.uk), Angel Alley, 84b Whitechapel High Street (http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=533981&y=181438&z=0&sv=e1+7qx&st=2&pc=e1+7qx&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf), London E1 7QX. Nearest tube: Aldgate East.
