Autumn 1995, Berlin, 17 people founded "C-base" a creative space which started as a technology hub.
It grew into the biggest creative space/hacker space in the world.

Cairo, post january 25th, There is a need for collaboration and social movement, a need for change that can only come from organized action.
The only way to become organized and form partnerships/collaborate for different projects whether political, social or technological is through discussion and social networking.

Egypts online community has already begun to mobilize thanks to @alaa through a series of discussions or "tweetnadwa's" which encourage healthy discussion on different preset issues and provides an excellent opportunity for people within this community to socialize and collaborate for different projects and action. These people would also participate in discussion and idea sharing which would automatically invoke self development.

This suggestion could take this a step further. Our own "C-base" in downtown cairo. a self sustainable hub open 24 hours a day 7 days a week for the creative passion filled people who are trying to improve the community. Its "open source" ideas, a place where the communication and collaboration is encouraged and helped by others in an organized fashion.


A workshop in kasr el nil street costs 1800L.E monthly to rent. an apartment 4000-6000L.E
if fifty founding members collaborated to pay 200L.E each that would give us a start up of 10,000L.E which should be more than enough to start up the space. 100 L.E monthly fee would be more than enough to maintain and grow our space, given that 50 paying members are dedicated to make this work.
