We've long held that "any vending machine at Noisebridge will
immediately get hacked".  (This was one of our very first arguments
after moving into the first Noisebridge space at 83c Wiese.)

However, at the meeting this evening Shannon pointed out that actually,
people don't do very much hacking at Noisebridge.

He has a point.

Therefore, I'm willing to pitch in $60 towards a soda vending machine.
Please let me know where to Paypal the money to you, Nick.  You may also
wish to create a Wiki page for people to sign up on, similar to
https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Microscope

I hope someone proves Shannon wrong by taking all the money out of the
machine and putting it in our bank account.
