[Noisebridge-discuss] So, how many people live at noisebridge now?

[rachel lyra hospodar]

here, let me be more explicit and less verbose about my proposed solutions:

short term:
-get rid of the nap futon in the corner by the west fire escape
-encourage general membership to aim towards a more work-oriented atmosphere

long term:
-work towards making the space appear more like a professional workspace
and less like a college dorm lounge for hackerz. (while maintaining our
signature welcoming and offbeat atmosphere)

these of course would go hand in hand with whatever direct communication
anyone would like to do with anyone else about
nappers/crashers/squatters/undesirables.  i wouldn't presume to tell
anyone how to communicate, or with whom.  i will make my opinions on
this available on an individual basis for anyone who wants them.

If anyone wants to help me put that nap-nasty futon on the street i will
be happy to collaborate on that project.
