[Noisebridge-discuss] BBC wants to talk to us

[aestetix aestetix]

I'm iffy on this. There's a big difference between existing publicly, and
pushing the organization out into the public eye.

Look at the past. Where has NB appeared in the news? (are we keeping track
of that yet?) How has it benefited or hurt us? How did NBers react to the
article? I recall a bunch of groaning, but also a lot of new faces because
of it.

Also, who is this reporter? What has he/she written on in the past? What
prompted an interested in Noisebridge? It seems kind of odd to be focusing
on San Francisco, rather than something in the UK or Europe.

Finally.... such an article would only draw in more people. Is this a good
time for that, or do we want to wait until NB has expanded? When is the
expected publication of such article? Where is it appearing? Just online, or
in print as well?
