Agreeing with Will. Hackerspaces in resumes should be treated the same way one treats anything else when putting one together. I recently got hired by a group with a small R&D section for teachers - and now I get to give the people and companies close to the hackers movement I already knew some visibility as part of that job. Win-win relationship !<div>

I think the golden rule of resumes is relevance. If the relevant bit is that it's an organization you learned a lot about leadership in, then any organizational word should be find. But if the relevant bit is the hardware/software/tech/engineering, those industries do/should know about hackerspaces. Intel and Microchip are just down the road and their teams have approached us before, so hackerspace is probably a great keyword for those industries especially if you have a few words tying it back to their industry.<div class="HOEnZb">
