[Noisebridge-announce] Weekly general meeting tonight at Noisebridge, 8pm.

[miloh]

The weekly general meeting is happening tonight at 8PM (we will hold the
meeting approx. 15 minutes if expected attendees are delayed).

Tonight is a good time to get introduced to Noisebridge if you have been
meaning to come by.  There's ~30 minute meeting and ~15 minute tour for new
folks, and time for more extended meeting discussion if necessary.

Of note:  Lots of new faces last week (and for the last few months), a group
interested in starting a Hacker Mom hackerspace in Oakland, CA. , and
discussion about streamlining the hiatus members process.

Currently there are no items up for consensus, which makes for a potentially
a short community meeting.

Thanks!

ps
Here's a bunch of Noisebridge related announcements I've been saving up:

---==DID YOU SEE THE BILLBOARDS?==--
Something like 25 billboards are up around the bay area, and Noisebridge is
on them!  Time to break out the advance notices, planning, and attention to
detail. People are starting to show up and say they heard about Noisebridge
from 'A BILLBOARD'!
If you like this, please help out Mitch Altman with the funding (see the
table at the end of the wiki page), and spread the word:

---==MELANGE CONSENSUAL==--

There's a thread about consensus started on the hackerspaces.org discuss
list, I'm working on a reply that includes links, history and some examples
of Noisebridge's use of consensus.  Does anyone have anything to add about
consensus patterns at Noisebridge or San Francisco at large?
