The HacDC guys just had a article written about them in the Washington Post. Its gives a nice description about hackerspaces, who is involved and what goes on. Take a look.

Hackerspaces call-in
2008-11-30
Today was an epic day, ~20 hackerspaces from around the world in a single conference call! I believe it was a first. Makers Local 256 got their five minutes of fame somewhere in the middle there. Looks like this is going to be a monthly thing as well to keep the hackerspaces community up to date on the goings on of all the other spaces. I for one look forward to the next one!
