[Noisebridge-discuss] Hosting a sexuality unconference at Noisebridge? KinkForAll San Francisco wants to make some Noise. :)

[aestetix aestetix]

Maymay,

I'd be very happy to help support this. I do think we should make an effort
to help Noisebridgers understand more of what it's about (there's a
fantastic FAQ up on the website), and we need to make sure it can coexist
with other activities which might be going on.

Let's discuss some of those details offlist, but it sounds like this could
be a fantastic opportunity.
