[hackerspaces] Tarrant Makers: Fall of a Foundation

[Randall Arnold]

I think I told everyone but this list, but our local maker nonprofit, Tarrant
County Maker Community Foundation, recently imploded.  Sabotage is a better
word, but I'm gritting my teeth and trying to be polite.  Three years of hard
work on my part and ~two years on the part of a few dedicated others down the
tubes.

There were a variety of elements that contributed... our regressive,
non-collaborative culture here was a big one.  But ultimately it came down to a
handful of factors that I describe here:

We're not the only ones to experience the stumbling blocks I describe; I know
many of you made it past them, too.  It's just sad that we became an example of
failure for the book I'm working on...
