HacktionLab is a regular convergence space where activists interested and/or working in the areas of alternative media, renewable energy, on-line video distribution, free software or any other form of activism that utilises technology can get together and plan how to better harness the technology (or not) to support grass roots social movements.
Our upcoming Barncamp should be fantastic tech fun in the sun. We'd like everyone to register who plans to come.
Previous Hacktivista events and activities
We have had five great HacktionLabs so far, two rural skills-share events and three urban hacklabs. We've also been involved in bringing tech to and running workshops at a number of events:
