<div class="gmail_extra">Great question just came up:</div><div class="gmail_extra">Do you need to be a member of NoiseBridge?</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">The answer, I am not a member of NoiseBridge, and I am hosting this meeting. �NoiseBridge is a community that includes a small subset of that community who are paying�members. �NoiseBridge is supported by both membership dues and by donations from within this community. �This community is also full of people who contribute in non-monetary ways (for instance, I am hosting this class.)</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I do�recommend�that people who visit consider giving a donation but there will not be anyone at the door asking for admission or checking membership. �If you would like to contribute in non-monetary ways, there is a list of chores that need to be done on a daily basis, but those, too, are optional.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Please, just come over and be your�excellent�selves. �That is what we expect. �Donations...�contributions...help at all...are all certainly a measure of excellence! ;-)</div>

<p>Do you have access to a laser, plasma, vinyl, or other 2d, CNC cutting tool? Do you want to learn how to composed documents for it?� Do you want a clean, easy, free tool to handle it all?</p>
<p>Then meet me at NoiseBridge on May 15th, 7pm for a half hour tour of Inkscape, in which we will:<br>
:-) learn how to use Inkscape<br>
:-) learn how to make complete, unbroken paths<br>
:-) learn how to optimize lead ins<br>
:-) learn how to compensate for the cutting width of the tool<br>
:-) And how to deal with the dozens of other caveats that we all face when working with cutting tools</p>
<p>I will take you through the composition of a document that hits all the caveats I have experienced, for free.� Just show up Tuesday, May 15th at 7pm.� Class will start on time so we can clear out of the way for another meeting at 8pm.</p>
