i'm reading the book 'Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution' by Steven Levy and found these nicely condensed description of the original MIT hacker community  (TMRC etc etc). i want to bring them up to discuss during the next general assembly, check if our space can stand behind the 'hacker ethics'
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_ethic

        * Access to computers—and anything which might teach you something about the way the world works—should be unlimited and total. Always yield to the Hands-On Imperative!
        * All information should be free.
        * Mistrust authority—promote decentralization.
        * Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not criteria such as degrees, age, race, sex, or position.
        * You can create art and beauty on a computer.
        * Computers can change your life for the better.
