[Noisebridge-discuss] Talk at BIL Conference about hacker spaces!

[Shannon Clark]

Mitch,

I helped organize BIL last year and hope to make there again this  
year. May take you up on the room though I'll probably try to get down  
on Friday. (can't easily get to the airport really early in the morning)
