Hi Jonah,<BR>
<BR>
As well as Tastebridge, and Circuit Hacking Monday every Monday (which I just wrote to you off-list), there is also SCOW (Sewing Crafting On Wednesdays).<BR>

I am a for reals (ie, dues-paying) member of noisebridge and<BR>> think the idea of a free school is rad! and ties in well with our<BR>> missions and goals. Noisebridge is an awesome space that aims to<BR>> encourage learning and knowledge-sharing so it sounds like there's tons<BR>> of common ground.<BR>> <BR>> You might want to know about Tastebridge, a food-oriented group at<BR>> Noisebridge, and talk to them about getting involved/included in your<BR>> food stuff at noisebridge. I am sure anyone would be happy to help you<BR>> find things in the kitchen but they tend to know most about what is<BR>> going on back there.<BR>> https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Tastebridge<BR>> <BR>> I bet that in general there are lots of other groups that would tie in<BR>> with what you are doing. it would probably help you to garner helpers &<BR>> supporters as well as advice etc to contact similar related groups that<BR>> use various parts of Noisebridge. NB is a sprawling association of<BR>> groups. It would be rad to help draw connections between them, it is<BR>> something lots of us have been talking about working towards. Generally<BR>> speaking there is a ton going on in the space for sure, though - maybe<BR>> it would make sense to do your school thing as a series of one-offs at<BR>> first, to help ease connections and work out timing etc with the free<BR>> school and various other user groups at noisebridge?<BR>> <BR>> xoxx<BR>> R.<BR>> <BR>> On 2/13/2011 4:20 PM, Jonah wrote:<BR>> > Hello fellow Noisebridgers,<BR>> > <BR>> > I've been to the space three times in the past week so I guess that makes me<BR>> > an official member- love the openness here.<BR>> > <BR>> > My name is Jonah, I'm the O.G. behind the San Francisco Free School.
