[hackerspaces] US hackerspaces - corporation formation and 501(c)3 status

[Dave Null]

I'd really be keen on learning more about the whole process. We here
at the Lodge had thought about going that route but backed off because
it looked insanely complicated and a mutual friend of ours who runs a
charity (gets schoolbooks and educational materials to poor kids in
Africa) talked about what a PitA it was. We figured if the guy who was
helping poor kids in Africa had a hell of a time getting his set up, a
pack of hackers in a rented workspace would probably not stand a
chance.

Nick, maybe you and I could pow-wow for a bit at Toorcamp, its been a
while since we caught up anyways..Shame my current batch of homebrew
wont be ready in time..I still have plenty of homebrew cider though..
