Welcome to the home of the Freehackers Union Local for Halifax, NS.

The goals of this group are explained in the parent chapter website but a quick synopsis is:
Zed Shaw was sick of the suits ruining the tech industry by killing the love of the hack. He decided to create a group that would be about celebrating the love of the hack. In order to make sure that the group stayed about the hack he created a rule. The first time you come to a meeting you have to show something: a five minute presentation of something you have created. The something has to be art/wires/code. You should show something as often as you have something to show. If you are too shy, you can get an existing member to do your presentation, but you cannot get accepted into the group by presenting something you didn't make.
As the curator of the Halifax chapter I have decided to adopt the rule that a unanimous vote is needed to get someone into the group, but it isn't secret ballot and if you vote against someone you have to explain why. If that is the case, a vote is taken on your reason for accepting or rejecting the person. If the group rejects your reason, your vote is changed and you are overruled. This vote is also unanimous but you aren't allowed to vote.
The second meeting is scheduled for October 25th at 7pm at the Second Cup on the corner of Spring Garden and Queen. Show up if you have something to show. By the way, the Second Cup has no idea this is going on, and we will be in the back.
