Yeah, a number of people have contacted us, making that mistake about Noisebridge. Although it's a great source of community and good way to learn new stuff, it's not exactly the best place to go to get work stuff done. It's my understanding that Hacker Dojo is somewhat better about that, somewhere in between coworking and hackerspace.<br>

My friend runs Sugar Shack in LA, but it doesn't quite have an open door policy as it is a home as well as a space. <br>
<br>I guess a hackerspace is a loose term, but Noisebridge really embraces it to the fullest extent, with an open door policy, classes, community, you name it. I have yet to see another space that really is open to hackers the way Noisebridge is. I'm hoping to visit HackerDojo soon, as I hope it comes close, and embraces the software side more than NB currently does.<br>

We, as geeks, have found a way to get together in actual, real, live, community. That isn't easy in our crazy world. But everyone needs community to thrive. The world is watching us. They want what we have. And we give it freely. It can't help but spread.<br>
