William, if you think NB should do this, by all means continue
proselytizing :)  The membership will have to decide to do it, or not,
by consensus, as selling kits is something that affects Noisebridge as a
whole.  Put an agenda item up for the next meeting (or whatever meeting
works for you) and get the discussion going.  Remember that Noisebridge
is a nonprofit corporation, which puts us under certain legal
restrictions in regard to selling things.

If people decide not to do this, or if you want to get started in less
time than a consensus decision would need (they do take some time),
there is no restriction on the use of the facility by members for
product development, or in fact for any legal purpose, as long as it
doesn't get in the way of others' use of the place.  Just remember to
"Be excellent to each other".
