Calling this effort Makerspaces is rude to those Makerspaces out there which do not wish to associate with your initiative and come under your banner. You did not invent the term, so you don’t have the (moral) right to hijack it.

What MAKE and O’Reilly are doing is divisive to the community. Call it something else.

This makes Make Magazine:
-an Army recruiter
-a lobbyist
-part of the “smart warfare” propaganda nonsense that we all know it bullshit

All of the above are the least worthy lifeform on earth in my view and i’m shocked that Make is now all of those. I have supported the magazine for years and now they go 100% against mine (an may makers) principles for a little bit of cash.

DARPA will not share any of their technology and not use it for any good purpose. both fundamental principles of the maker movement.

Wow…is there anything the US government won’t throw its dirty hands on? Thanks a bunch Make for soaking Maker Faire in bloodshed by high school students. This is *exactly* what we need for the future of this country. More things to blow people up. I think I won’t be going this year…
