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

Thu Oct 15 20:26:48 UTC 2009

Yeah, a number of people have contacted us, making that mistake about
Noisebridge.  Although it's a great source of community and good way to
learn new stuff, it's not exactly the best place to go to get work stuff
done.  It's my understanding that Hacker Dojo is somewhat better about that,
somewhere in between coworking and hackerspace.
