So, Adafruit Industries (who make kits as the MiniPOV or boards like the
Arduino Ethernet board) have this to say on their blog:
"We made an announcement at Maker Faire and here’s the official one!
All Hacker Spaces in the world get Adafruit reseller pricing starting today.
What does that mean? All Hacker Spaces around the world can get up to 40% off
of our kits and breakout boards, just like our resellers do.
Hackerspaces are community-operated physical places, where people can meet and
work on their projects. Many Hacker Spaces have been using our kits for
workshops, for events and for running their own businesses to fund their
spaces. After seeing how well this is working out for a few Hacker Spaces we’re
expanding it to everyone who runs a Hacker Space."
