 ## Activist
+## Ambassador / Bard
+Not necessarily a member of any specific hackerspace, but someone travelling between different ones, sharing stories, tools, projects, tips and gossip. Usually wielding some musical instrument and with an ability to make people open over a mug of beer.
 ## Anarchist

 ## Biologist
+Being fed up with the University's passiveness someone wants to try - or teach others to really do something with their knowledge about biology or chemistry. They start with simple [PCRs](http://openpcr.org/) or [centrifuges](https://diybio.org/2012/06/11/dremelfuge-classic/). Usually really excited they're doing something "off the grid". Rarely Grinders or Cooks.
+Worth checking: [DIY BIO](https://diybio.org/) and [Biohacking Safari](http://biohackingsafari.com/)
 ## Bitcoin Evangelist
+Cryptocurrencies will bring anonymity, freedom and flexibility to the markets - and salvation to the world. They can be [Cypherpunks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypherpunk) or startup enthusiasts.
+When they learn more about crypto (and if they aren't hardcore anarchists), they change into Blockchain Evangelist, seeing the money-giving distributed databases as a huge chance.
+People who invested in BTC before the hype started - even if they spent all 10kBTC on pizza - tend to be more cynical and laid off about the subject.

+[Burning Man](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_Man) participant. Almost exclusively specific to US, although there are people who travel there from all over the world. Usually can't shut up about how awesome the festival is.
+Currently not planned in Glider.
+## Community Organizer / Cat Herder
+Not every Space has them, but this person usually "runs" the space: handles legal status, tries to resolve conflicts and dramas, comes up with hackathon ideas and organizes most of the events. Sometimes it's the same person as [[characters:archetypes#garbage_woman|Garbage Woman]].
+Personally I'd like not to have a single person fulfilling that role, but rather a dynamic balance between (Adam)[characters:main:adam], [Robert](characters:main:robert) and [Amanda](characters:main:amanda). To read more, see subpage [Why not cat herder?](characters:archetypes:cat_herder)
 ## Composer
+## Cook
+Cooks all kind of strange drugs. Rarely dealing with anything "popular" or gang-related, usually surfs the DarkNet to find obscure medical papers about substances rejected from pharmaceutic use for their side effects. Sometimes a Grinder or Biologist.

 ## Father
+Usually a former active member, now attends the Space with his kids. He wants to teach them how to learn hands-on, not only at a school desk. Usually has very little time, dropping by no more often than once a week. Sometimes makes money by using his Space-acquired skills.
+In Glider, [Robert](characters:main:robert)
