[Noisebridge-discuss] Should NB mirror WikiLeaks?

[Matt Joyce]

Far be it from me to point this out to you.  But Noisebridge is not a stand
alone hackerspace.  What each hackerspace does reflects upon other
hackerspaces.  If noisebridge chooses to take a position in what is a
polarized and popular debate, they will be drawing attention to hackerspaces
as a whole on the topic.

Not all spaces feel that this topic is relevant to their concerns.

Regardless of anything I would suggest keeping that in mind.
