[Noisebridge-discuss] [ Donations ]

[jim]

   If the stuff is in SF, I can probably pick a fair amount 
of it up. I can't speak for all of Noisebridge, but it seems 
to me useful for NB. Personally I'm interested in a few of 
the heat sinks. 
   I don't know the legal constraints on such donations. As 
NB is 501(c)3, it is limited in what it can do with donations. 
It may be that NB should not accept small things like 
heatsinks, fans, drives..., as those would mostly end up in 
various projects or taken to recycling or passed on.... On 
the other hand, maybe NB can justify acceptance as consumables.
