Agreed, with an only slightly tangential caveat: in the Dallas area at least, until recently "hackathon" (event, not space) was used pretty much exclusively to identify programming events. It's only been in the last year or so with AT&T's big IoT/embedded push that we're seeing that broaden here to include hardware. And I'm still encountering local makers who immediately assume "software" when I mention hackathons. (don't get me started on the experience of selling locals on CIVIC hackathons-- uphill battle)

So, I can see why Mark might say what he did below. If some are drawing such distinctions over event scope, they may well be drawing them over spaces and communities as well. Not saying it's appropriate or not.

<br />Obvious how? I’ve never seen a “hackerspace” that didn’t have people fabricating things or a “makerspace” that didn’t have people programming.
