[Noisebridge-discuss] Save the sewing

[Christie Dudley]

If you want to keep it, bring it and leave it on your shelf.  I went
through exactly this when I joined and wanted to share the use of my
snazzy soldering iron.  Apparently, my iron was used to help build the
makerbot because it was needed and I was in IRC and people asked me
and I agreed.  This was pretty amenable, especially if you're easy to
reach.

Otherwise, it becomes a storage issue if we're holding onto things
that might be useful between uses by their owner.  Sure, we have this
big new space, but if we don't hold fast to this policy, it'll become
a big storage yard for people's stuff.
