<p>Cool ideas. I had forgotten about lindsay books. Great resource. <br>
Anyone start a wiki page on Hackerspace.org yet? I'm in yosemite or is do it myself..</p>
<p>BTW <a href="http://schoolfactory.org">schoolfactory.org</a> is a loose collection of hackerspaces that is working on sharing knowledge and helping people start spaces. They hosted a day2 panel talk at makerfaire. </p>
