[hackerspaces] Hackerspace crisis plan

[Rose White]

Just saw a great article on MAKE's blog today, about community in
hackerspaces:
http://blog.makezine.com/2013/01/21/community-for-a-healthy-makerspace/

Much of what has been said in these threads gets covered there; *making
communities* is part of the role/task of hackerspaces.

Cheers --

Rose
