<big>To be sure, many non-hackers enrich the Noisebridge community.
People who come and clean the kitchen, or come to take out the
trash, or who have hacked in past lives, or who will hack at NB in
the future, or who hack elsewhere, teachers, people who donate
free food, people who cook for everyone in the space, people who
come to read in the library....</big><br>
<big><br>
But others are just exploiters, or hangers-on, or non-hacking
homeless, alcoholics, thieves, junkies, those who move to the beat
of a completely different orchestra, or peeps who just have no
place else to go. Their presence is sufficiently intrusive as to
drive away the very people and activities i think NB was created
to serve. <br>
<br>
Here's an idea: a sign-in book. <br>
Enter your name <br>
Enter what you're going to do in the space-- this is critical. <br>
You do not have to give your real name if you don't want to. But
you have to give some name. <br>
