[Finance] Financial model for a large hackerspace

[Edward L Platt]

The resources above are a good place to start.  It's it's really important
to remember that every hackerspace is going to be different depending on
the interests, needs, and activities of the local community.  You'll need
to be flexible and readjust in the early days.
