Call to #hackerspaces & #makerspaces around the world, lets join forces!

Hi. 👋 I make #OpenSource smart #thermostats that don't spy on you. I don't ship internationally for two reasons: financial cost and environmental cost. I'd like to join a network of Makerspaces to have them be produced regionally so people outside of America can get a pre-made unit.

Does this network already exist? If so, how do I join? If it doesn't exist, would you like to help build it?

@hestiahacker it's focused more on "science hardware" but the folks at https://www.openscienceshop.org/about/ work with small manufacturers worldwide to pull this sort of thing off. They're still setting things up and I bet would have relevant help re. logistics.
What is the Open Science Shop?

The Open Science Shop is a collective enabling the distributed marketing and manufacturing of open science hardware. The purpose of the Open Science Shop is to provide a collective space for those involved in the commercialization of open hardware science instruments. Open Science Shop will initially work towards shared marketing
