[hackerspaces] Securing domain names

[Hans Fraiponts]

As you might know Belgium is bi-lingual french-dutch
(and a bit of german). In hackerspace Brussels is the
default language English.
Everyone speaks it, everyone has a funny accent,
everyone understands each-other.
Cool side-effect is the birth of a new dialect.

Cheers,

Hans
