[Noisebridge-discuss] maybe we just need walls so people can concentrate

[Patrick Keys]

I'm not saying "big open space" OR "tiny individual rooms".
I'm saying "big open space" AND "tiny individual rooms".

There can be partitions of all sizes.
Some small rooms and also some big spaces.

The issue is not just the sleepers.
It's also conflicting noise.
People on opposite ends of the space argue over who has the right to 
make noise at *NOISE*bridge.

And I'll say it again: having visited another hacker space, putting up 
some partitions seems to make things more peaceful for them.
