Hackerspaces are wrong -those are educational institutions, not "getting things done" institutions for grownups.

Depends. There's a lot of organizational dissociative identity disorder happening in HSes I know (including ours). On the one hand, people would absolutely like to "get things done". On the other hand, educational outreach is what brings in new people and funding, so it can become the main focus simply out of necessity.
