[hackerspaces] Renaming a Space

Name it "B-More Hack More"

At SplatSpace, we used http://www.google.com/moderator/ in order to 
source both suggestions and votes on the name. We asked people to vote 
only if they were local and likely to visit the hackerspace, but we 
didn't actively police that. Overall, I was very happy with how Google 
Moderator worked for this task.

Kind regards,
Justis
