People as you participating in the movement can have one or multiple roles defined around the work that fulfills the needs of the movement ideas. Anybody can share at any publicly available space. There are global and location based activities. You can create and see activities in the Permanent Future Lab Part-up tribe.

To optimally facilitate this a few roles have been identified that can be used for setting up any physical location of a Permanent Future Lab.

Visitor[edit | edit source]

Probably you?! Everyone in society is welcome to visit a Permanent Future Lab location without paying by money. You may look, discover, experience, try and build with the technology as long as you leave the technology back in original state and use it with due care and diligence. Since the movement isn't an entity you can't pay or donate by money. The philosophy is that you are Sharing back by social media, word of mouth, open source contributions, etc. So you don't claim copyrights or patents, but you use copyleft. At some of this wiki product pages you can find social media hashtag keywords and mentions, community links to help you Sharing an optimal way.

Sharer[edit | edit source]

A person or organization that lends technology to one or more locations.

Location initiator[edit | edit source]

A (co)initiator with passion for innovation, technology & sharing that starts a location or pop-up. Sometimes a geek or nerd. The initiator is more than average busy with discovering or even creating new innovations and is social in sharing findings and knowledge. Multiple locations and popups have been initiated since the beginning of the movement in 2014. Bart Roorda (Netherlands), Fahad Bin Husne ALI (Bangladesh), Rehema Nsanyiwa (Uganda) are a few of the initiators. Interested in initiating a Permanent Future Lab location or pop-up?

Host[edit | edit source]

A host keeps the space orderly, batteries loaded, shows visitors around and keeps track on the available technology being shared. Is it a must, as a host, to be tech-savvy? No. But some interest (to learn from) new technological products is a plus. It is also good to feel comfortable in the presence of other people.

To become a host, it is suggested you visit the location(s) you want to host at and speak with the initiators and other hosts. You can see if you click well with the others and they will be able to help you get started.

What it means to:

  • Keeping the space orderly

Imagine, you invite people to your home. Wouldn't it be great to show them around in a tidy place. Maybe somewhat cosy? Somewhere where at least people feel comfortable to be at? That feel should be reflected at the location you are the host at.

  • Showing visitors around

First time visitors usually do not know what location they are entering and what the movement actually stands for. As everything is new some guidance and explanation of the entire concept, both location and ideology, is a kind and helpful gesture.

  • Keeping track on the available technology

You will help people who like to lend technology how they can do this and how they can add it to the location Wiki. When there isn't space anymore at the location to share technologies and someone wants to share a more innovative or more open hardware technology, you'll contact the sharer of the less innovative / less (open) hardware technology to take out his/her technology and ask to remove it from the Wiki.
