* Hackers are natural self-education types. They take like fish to water on self-directed learning, as you cannot possibly be a decent engineer nowadays without doing constant self education

* Most hackers are into social good projects and non profit work - they just hate the restrictions and bureaucracy. Remember, say it ten times over and over again "People who build stuff are allergic to meetings!"

Remember, say it ten times over and over again "People who build stuff are allergic to meetings!" I've been in situations where well meaning social good groups will block even a simple blog post update or site design page without 10 argumentative meetings  - remember, every experiment can always be rolled back! 
* Dev Boot Camp graduates and students - if you send your student here, try to have them integrate themselves into the wiki / github as soon as possible. Hackerspaces flourish when people are building ideas and building! it's nice to talk about your life story, or about the job search, but this is an opportunity build something that exists outside of the for profit or non profit system just for the sheer fun of it. Even if you can't code, adding to the wiki and making creative things is generally the best way to go. You'll become a better hacker / coder / writer/ artist because of it!
