New contributor VM (now there’s a good set of initials) let me know: there’s a “Hacker Space” here in Albuquerque called QueLab. Their website is at http://quelab.net/wordpress and in fact they recently ran a swap meet.
They’re talking about “hacking” in the classical sense: modding machinery, making it do things far beyond original specs, that kind of thing. So it’s not per se a “cracker” club, which is to say, their focus isn’t on penetration testing.
That said, it looks like a cool org, with lots of machinery that’s been donated. Could be fun!
Thanks VM.
