[hackerspaces] hackerspaces meetup? / hope and 27c3

[strages]

I agree with you about all of this.  Regional hackerspaces conferences
would be great, so long as they're not exclusively for spaces in the
region.  I might like to attend one of the other regional ones from
time to time.  And I love the idea of there being one huge national
one every four years held at different locations.
