[Noisebridge-discuss] Question about hosting a KDE party at the space?

[Kelly]

If you're not in SF you can get someone to bring it up by proxy, or
you can just talk with various individuals via email, like you've been
doing, but you should focus on the people who will be affected on
Monday nights. You should also ask a member to team up with you (as
suggested in the wiki page on hosting) to cosign the event, help you
get situated in the space the night of and be a point of contact for
the community.

So if it's to be Monday night at 8, you can probably just check in
with the circuit hacking folks. Miloh and Mitch are cc-ed. The earlier
event you refer to is cooking class? Since that's in the kitchen, it's
actually much harder to disrupt. Circuit hacking is at 7 but usually
lasts a few hours, and it's right next to the main "party area".
