I pay Dreamhost a yearly rate to host my sites, email, jabber, etc. 
Their down time as a host has been the worst I've ever had to deal with 
in my life.

Noisebridge is a space hosted locally, maintained and operated by its 
members.

I personally would be down with spending money derived from our member 
dues and donations to have a corporate entity run our space without 
telling us how they operate, nor giving us an easy option to move back 
into doing it ourselves, all the while making a buck and a half off of 
us.</sarcasm>

Let's build, create, execute and operate on our own terms from our own 
people before resorting to outside of the community solutions, no matter 
how free or easy or reliable it might be.

Sure things might not work 100% of the time, that's ok. This is 
Noisebridge, we're here to make mistakes and learn from them. :)
