To put it another way, the only reason I would pay to be a member would be to have an environment to share my ideas and learn from others.<br>

This for me has been the main benefit of coming by Noisebridge. I currently have four computers that I develop on (of which two are laptops), so being at Noisebridge means I have access to fewer, not more resources than I normally do. And interference is an issue: If I'm working on something that requires minimal distractions, I'll do it at home. I don't come to Noisebridge to do work (mostly), but to share it -- both formally, in articles and lightning talks, and informally in conversations with people. Getting practice giving demos has been especially valuable, and the feedback is useful as well.<br>

If I frequented the space as anything but a paying member, then I personally would be doubly grateful for having a space and material to work for free and people to socialize with.<br>

And sometimes I just socialize. :-)<br>

I wouldn't mind having a slightly more serious working area,<br>
physically separate from the rest of the space. I'm thinking<br>
of a coffee shop style area. Anyone care to start an rfc for<br>
such an area? Is there a pattern for starting RFCs on the wiki?<br>

A physically separate space sounds intriguing. It would give us a chance to try different protocols without affecting 2169.<br>

So one of the primary complaints that people have about NB<br>
is that you<br>
can't get work done without people coming up to you and<br>
asking you<br>
tons of questions about what you're doing.<br>

I haven't had this complaint myself; perhaps I'm overeager to discuss my work. On one occasion recently, a visitor was engaging in undesired conversation, so I put on my headphones, which works both as an audio shield and a 'Don't bother me' signal.<br>
