[Noisebridge-discuss] How can folks be most helpful this week?

[jim]

   why not immediately give some keys to those who 
are working to make the place useable, then give 
some more keys to those who are squawking 
(understandably, it seems to me), then try to 
address access for those of us who are more 
patient or who can wait or whatever. 
   make sure enough people have keys so that 
there's a high likelihood that the rest of us 
can get in during reasonable times. 

   some messages of late have contained discussion 
of privilege and hierarchy. 
   all the members i've met seem not to have any 
attitude of claiming special privilege or such. if 
some of the discussion includes accusations, these 
seem misplaced, more a function of fear than 
perception. 
   as an example, nothing rachel has written 
reveals an attitude of special privilege, rather 
she's afraid that she'll be holding the bag if 
bad things happen, and that seems reasonable. 
   there certainly seems to have been a screw-up 
of some kind, but learning from it and forgiving 
mistakes is almost always a good thing.
