I think getting hackerspaces involved is a great idea. If any of you
know any, or are involved in the broader hackerspace lists, please let
them know about this thread and help them get involved! The more the
merrier at this point.

(I think Andy's "you probably shouldn't run your exit relay on your
hackerspace's only network connection, in case your ISP unplugs it for
a while" point is a good one to keep in mind too.)
