So far the Club Mate discussion has been useful, relevant and free of
opinion drama. Whether or not the 501(c)3 is spending money on the project,
it's still very much founded in Noisebridge. Many different people have
chimed in with their relevant opinions. And the discussion has alread
brought up interesting other things like the financial facts around current
soft drinks in the space and info about nonprofits and sales tax.

If hackers want hacker drinks in hacker spaces, I think it should be
discussed on hacker space lists like this one. :-)
