<div dir="ltr">from the wiki:<br><br>> <b style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19.046875px">Do I need to be a member?</b><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19.046875px"> You don't need to be a member to take or give a class or workshop at Noisebridge. All are welcome! Noisebridge is open to all, however Noisebridge runs off of membership dues and donations. Membership is $80 a month (or a $40 “starving hacker” rate) and allows you to vote at meetings. If you aren’t a member but use the space, please drop off a few dollars in the donation bin, or set up a regular monthly donation for a smaller amount.<br>
<br>so, yeah, you're mistaken. Choices involving what happens to the space are in the hands of the members but the space itself is open to all. The problem lies in how people decide what the space's purpose is. The general consensus is that it's for hacking but then you get into stuff like "what is hacking?" and all this other semantic crap that we've gone over and over again.</span></div>
