"The Community" is you. It is up to you, and up to each of us to do
what we believe is good for us and for Noisebridge.<br>

General rule of thumb: If someone invokes my name to get their way,
it is probably a scam on their part.<br>

Sunday night 10/27<br>
<br>
Lately, seems i keep seeing various people at nb who i thought
were kicked out long ago. <br>
<br>
<div align="justify">Last night, sunday, I was not docent, but i
organized a hack n jam. About 15 people came to attend the Noise
Jam. <br>
<br>
When i left, Vaughn was docent. I don't know vaughn, but have
seen him at Noisebridge for a few months. As far as i know, he's
not a member, and I'm not aware that he hacks, teaches, makes,
builds, takes classes, or has anything to do with hacking. If
i'm wrong, i'm happy to be corrected. Apparently, he's a docent.
<br>
<br>
A non-hacking kid who's name is (i think) Zak or Zeb or Zed or
Zeke, who i thought was kicked out of NB many months ago, is now
in the space almost every time i come to nb. When i left last
night, he approached me on the street, carrying a sleeping bag
and such accoutrements. He asked me to hold the gate open for
him, because his "stuff was upstairs." I did not hold the gate
for him, but somebody (presumably Vaughn) buzzed him in. I have
no idea what happened after that. <br>
<br>
This type of nonsense is just an example of how noisebridge
continues to be a place of refuge and a crash-pad and club-house
for slackers and fakers-- often a larger presence in the space
than actual hackers and makers. Some nb Members continue to
adamantly resist any change to policies or procedures that would
address this problem. For example, at last week's Tuesday
meeting, a member (maybe Rhody) defended non-hackers (Pigeon)
cooking their meals at nb, by quoting Mitch saying "if you
transform something and share it, that's hacking." <br>
<br>
If rebase gets revived, i suggest that it should focus on
"Defining Hacking", not how to arrange furniture.<br>
<br>
Personally, i'm just going to keep using nb for actual hacking
activities. But i won't try anymore to change anything at nb,
until the community gets the nerve to confront Members who
continue to protect fakers and slackers. <br>
<br>
