<p>Glad to hear it Jerry, and I totally agree. I wonder what the laws are for such terms; i.e. Coke and Kleenex are almost genericized names as to be unenforceable; how do we ensure nobody hijacks Hackerspace, and how can Dale prove that Makerspace is safe and free? I'd rather not trademark either.</p>

Youth Education is the central component of the MAKErspace in the <a href="http://makerspace.com" target="_blank">makerspace.com</a> world. That it steps on the generic makerspace will be an unfortunate point of contention and irritation.</div>
