[hackerspaces] hackerspaces on resumes

[Mel Shamanka]

Agreeing with Will. Hackerspaces in resumes should be treated the same way
one treats anything else when putting one together. I recently got hired by
a group with a small R&D section for teachers - and now I get to give the
people and companies close to the hackers movement I already knew some
visibility as part of that job. Win-win relationship !
