You should check out noisebridge, I’ve met one of the founders Mitch Altman and he fits the bill. I’ve not been to San Fran so I can’t comment on the hippie-ness of the other hackerspaces,
Can attest that noisebridge, and the hacker culture in general, is quite strongly in that intersection. I’ve spent a good chunk of my early and late teens in that community and benefited a lot from it (in my case the german hacker community, but the culture seems to be quite similar across country boundaries)
What are three examples of this?
