[Noisebridge-discuss] hi noisebridge - PLOTS and grassroots mapping

[jim]

    Consider setting up some day and time each week 
when you can come, hang out, and start making 
connections. I'd be interested if you start up a 
format where you talk for some minutes about some 
favorite thing of the week and then open things up 
for discussion and questions, maybe then present 
pointers to related sources and finish up with a 
kind of random get-together time that let's people 
bond, ask questions, trade waters....
