I've contacted the owners of makerspaces.org if we can do something with
the domain that is similar to hackerspaces.org, hackerspaces.nl, spaceblogs
or whatever. It's a nice domain and would be fitting to see something that
serves the community instead of a 404 (or anything at all) :))

Regards,
Elger
