[hackerspaces] Help me make it happen for 'hackert0wn' on Indiegogo

[Matt Joyce]

I'd like to point out hackerdojo just completed a 250k fund raiser
just to get two of their buildings rezoned and bring their current
building up to code.

That gets them pretty much nothing they didn't already have except a
pass from the local city government to use it for people.

There are things hackers cannot do without gobs of money.
