[NCLUG] Hacker Space Anyone?

[Michael D. Wailes]

There was an interesting article in the current issue of SERVO about 
HackerDojo and an event that they have started "Random Hacks of 
Kindness". I'm not real sure if they are for-profit, but I do know that 
they have started to offer classes on a limited basis to help pay for 
the facility.
