[Noisebridge-discuss] naming

[Noah Balmer]

I think Mitch makes an excellent point.  I'm also thinking, were we to go
with Noise Bridge, we'd end up typing Noisebridge all the time anyway
because it's easier. It sounds like "Noisebridge" is in the majority at the
moment, and I haven't heard any strong objections.  I'm going to go ahead
and change it in the Bylaw draft. If everyone's satisfied with that, let's
leave it alone, if not, we talk more.  If no one weighs in with an opposing
viewpoint in the next few days I'll start normalizing the wiki toward that
orthography.
