I am Jonty Wareing, jonty or jontyw for short. I’m the co-founder of the London Hackspace, although in January I resigned from the board after seven years so I could get my brain back in order and focus on other things.
I’m also the co-founder of the Hackspace Foundation from way back, although we never put as much time into it as we would have liked, and it had stagnated until lovely energetic people appeared and put a colossal boot up it’s behind.
For my sins, I’m also the co-founder of Electromagnetic Field (emfcamp.org) and have vague plans to start another hackspace one day. I should probably be banned from starting new things.
My plans for the next couple of years are to fully put all my time behind the foundation and aim to get it in a self-sustaining state with all the UK spaces properly communicating and collaborating, and hopefully actively helping start new spaces across the UK.
