I think this is a great idea and I fully support your efforts. (note, I am not a member) <div><br></div><div>This is kind of what I was going for when I said that events in general don't seem to make any notice to the audience that NB is member/donation funded. <div>

<br>I noticed you guys are talking alot about fundraising lately and<br>thought of something that might help.<br><br>A few people I've encountered at the machine learning meetups<br>are kinda weak in linear algebra and suggested we have a mini-<br>
course on it. I'd be willing (along with anybody else who wants to<br>help out) to teach a mini course in linear algebra to people who donate<br>X dollars per session to Noisebridge. The class would be advertised<br>
to a larger community than just the ML'ers and maybe even NB'ers<br>
to get a bigger crowd.<br><br>Of course this idea could be extended to any topic which can<br>be taught, but I think having volunteers teach classes that<br>raise money for Noisebridge could be a reasonably honorable way<br>
of raising funds. I'd be happy to teach because as of yet I<br>haven't donated a dime to Noisebridge, just my time. And I'm<br>not made of cold, hard, slimy cash so I'd rather keep donating time.<br><font color="#888888"><br>
