    frantisek gave a lot to NB. i look at his trip 
to japan as something of a hack--he'd planned to go 
there to connect with japanese hacker groups that 
are interested in alternative food hacks, like 
making one's own kombuchka and yogurt and such. 
he's kept in touch and shown interest in NB while 
he's gotten involved in a new hacker space in the 
czech republic. 
    i recall that at some NB evening a few people 
pungled up money to send someone to japan or some 
similar place (i wasn't there, just heard about it, 
seemed noisebridge-ish to me).
