I don't think an anti-kid policy is necessary. However, I also don't think we should be extremely publicly outgoing. Having one kid around (and specifically a member's) is one thing, having 20 kids around expecting an episode of Clifford the Big Red Hacker is totally different. <br>

You hit the nail on the head as to what I was thinking, aestetix. I just spent the weekend peeling children off of heavy sharp metal balls only to have their parents complain to me that their children not be treated thus (if they even notice). I say our obs should not be treated thus. We pretty much came to the consensus that the orbs were not for children, and it was a mistake to ever think otherwise.<br>

Noisebridge is not FOR children. It is for hackers. Helping people to understand this prevents Bad Things.<br>

And I'll repeat what I said in channel the other day. When my 13 year old daughter is in town, I'm going to feel free to bring her by Noisebridge unless we, in consensus, make a no kids policy that includes the children of members. I know Grey feels the same as well with his kids.<br>
