[hackerspaces] Pricing a class for a hackerspace

[john arclight]

I think that anything that is a pain to put together deserves something for
the time involved and risk in fronting the money for materials/etc.

We've been kicking around the idea of doing a mandatory safety orientation
for new folks. Make it a one-time $20, but let whoever teaches it pocket $15
since nobody wants to drop everything to break someone in.
