To make 2,600 of them, I used a local printer, named Valencia Printing, on Valencia St, in San Francisco.  But any printer can print these.  Of course, the fewer you make, the more expensive it is to make each one. Valencia Printing used 4-color printing on the inside pages, and used thick cardstock for the cover, using navy-blue and white ink on the cover.  It would be even nicer (I think) if the cover were colored vinyl, with silver or gold embossed artwork (but Valenica Printing couldn't do that for me in the short amount of time I had to get 2,600 of them made between when I had the idea in July and before Chaos Camp in August-2011).

Contents

The Hackerspace Passports were created to

  • help promote people visiting as many hackerspaces around the world as possible
  • increase collaboration
  • increase cross-pollination so we can all learn from one another
  • encourage all hackerspaces to support each other
  • (And it's fun.)

These Hackerspace Passports look a lot like US Passports, but no fingerprints needed! And, rather than a requirement for passing borders, they are intended to encourage it!

Hackerspace and hacker cons around the world have made their own stamps, so people can get their Hackerspace Passport stamped everywhere they go!

Promotional Graphics

Below are some drafts for website badges to promote that your hackerspace has stamps to support these passports.

Getting Your Own Hackerspace Passports

ENTS has a supply of passports on hand to buy if you're interested, they're $5 and can be bought from any director.

The next easiest way to get a passport is to head over to SparkFun and buy one with your next order.

Thanks to Matthew Borgatti (@gianteye) who did all the illustration, graphic design, and proofing to bring this together. He also runs a store called Sleek and Destroy you might want to check out.
