[Noisebridge-discuss] FYI Safari Books Online on SFPL

[Rubin Abdi]

Search for Safari on the wiki and it should bring up meeting notes  
from when someone brought up to the group the possibility of  
Noisebridge getting an account with them. Some folks didn't feel well  
with the fact that the books had some sort of DRM attached but no one  
blocked any sort of vote. Actually if I remember right no vote was  
taken and the subject was not brought up again at later meetings, not  
too sure what happened.
