Hey you all,

I saw a documentary about Ukraine and how fast its defence adapts to new weapons in the terrible war they are fighting. The workshops they showed remind me a lot of Makerspaces. Small workshops with tons of knowledge! I wrote a letter to our ministry of defence in the Netherlands that it would be great if they would set up a funding program for makerspaces. Its a win win. If theres no war you invest in technology for whatever industry if theres is a war you have an ‘underground’ network of tech hubs on which you can rely on in darker times for direct innovation. No response so far on my letter. If all of you write similar letters to your government this could be an option.
