I know the immediate response would be 'No', but some of my more business-savvy friends act like it's a necessity.<br><br>A hackerspace will obviously want to purchase the services of some professionals: lawyers, accountants, etc. Nonprofit Organizations are legally allowed to have employees and compensate them for valuable work performed for the benefit of the organization. Maybe a PR specialist, an in-house accountant or lawyer if you have some adventurous projects. Maybe some of you are spending most of your time managing and organizing the business activities of the space, and it would be beneficial to have them on payroll to guarantee the work continues to get done. <br>
<br>I don't ask this question like, 'can we pay ourselves for being cool hackers', but honest employment.<br><br>Has any other hackerspace come across it? Tried it? Failed with it? Have opinions on it? <br>
