[hackerspaces] Hackerspaces origins history

[Randall Arnold]

Well, for the purpose of the book I'm working on (The Maker Community
Experience), *I* care, and I'm sure the intended audiences will care.

And for the record: the maker-hacker debate/delineation will be discussed, along
with many other points of contention, but largely to illustrate that various
maker/hacker communities are not in lockstep with each other, nor need or should
they be.  Describing origins (and cultures) helps illustrate that.

Carry on with the pissing contest.

;)
