Our hackerspace community has an opportunity to support an environment for creative expression and new, elegant services. We have basic infrastructure including a wordpress website (with blog and shared calendar system), this mediawiki wiki, a membership application (in the works), and an issue tracker (next on deck). However, a limitation to running 2 or ''n'' services is managing more than one user account. Hackerspaces commonly write manual hacks to shim user account generation, and to propogate password updates across multiple systems. These solutions are a pain and very unstable. Persona offers a viable alternative, so at the very least we can use the same shim in each system. | Our hackerspace community has an opportunity to support an environment for creative expression and new, elegant services.
