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

[Mitch Altman]

Hey Rion,
 
Thanks for the intro.  And welcome to Noisebridge!
 
I think 12:40p is an OK enough time.  Thanks!  Now all I have to do is prepare the talk (for which others will be joining me).
 
See you Saturday.
 
Cheers,
Mitch.
