[Noisebridge-discuss] Do you remember Walnut Creek CD-ROM?

[Kelly]

After they return from their journey, I am totally for mounting the
CDs to a wall.  However, I think it would be cool to have them in one
general area. Just for sheer scale.  I think that the non-external
classroom walls are unlikely to ever be used for storage--maybe we
could put them in classroom Turing, where LUG meets?
