[hackerspaces] Let's end the unnecessary joining of the words "food" and "hacking"

[Daniel Harmsworth]

Hi Kevin,

The definition of hacking in the Oxford is not the definition
generally accepted in the community, its certainly a part of it but
its much narrower that it is interpreted by people on this list in
particular, I would suggest having a look at the definition of a hack
in the Jargon File[1] for a definition closer to what its thought of
by hackerfolk in general.

And as Rubin so rightly said, once you start arguing about what
"Hacking" is you are destined for madness for down that path there be
dragons (and probably various mutated organisms left over from the
BioHacking night :P)
