[hackerspaces] hacker passport, international hacker memberiship, resources sharing

[Matt Joyce]

Membership is handled differently in different spaces.  So there probably is
no way to exchange membership between all of them.

You might need to just start with a couple and try to get it to expand.  But
my guess is no matter what some spaces will never sign onto this.
