 +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.

 +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.

 +## 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)

 +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.
