[Noisebridge-discuss] Charging for classes at Noisebridge

[Leif Ryge]

Martin,

We don't spend official NB funds (dues + monetary donations) without 
consensus to do so, and afaik we haven't ever consensed to spend money 
on materials for a specific class or project. All of the ABS and 
aluminum stock at Noisebridge has been purchased with non-NB funds and 
then donated to NB (formally or informally, I don't know). The Makerbot 
itself was also purchased independently by a group of members for 
Noisebridge.
