[Noisebridge-discuss] New Hackerspace in N. Orlando, Florida

[Tom Longson (nym)]

I've not had much luck with most of the "hackerspaces" on that list to be
honest. Parisomo charges $30 a day do sit at a desk, and doesn't have much
in the way of community from what I could tell. My friend runs Sugar Shack
in LA, but it doesn't quite have an open door policy as it is a home as well
as a space.

I guess a hackerspace is a loose term, but Noisebridge really embraces it to
the fullest extent, with an open door policy, classes, community, you name
it. I have yet to see another space that really is open to hackers the way
Noisebridge is. I'm hoping to visit HackerDojo soon, as I hope it comes
close, and embraces the software side more than NB currently does.

Cheers,
Tom Longson (nym)
