[Noisebridge-discuss] desktop computer at welcome desk location

[jim]

    this brings to my mind the idea of a "core", a group 
of people who recognize in themselves and in each other 
a commitment to noisebridge and a willingness to do work 
to help noisebridge survive for its mission (hacking, 
promoting hacking, cross-fertilization of ideas among 
various arts and disciplines). 
    danny is working on a 311 call system that seems to 
want a set of core people who'll volunteer to respond. 
    the recent episode(s) with drunks suggests the need 
for a set of core people who can quickly act with 
confidence to respond to egregiously unexcellent behavior. 

    seems to me useful to promote the idea of a core group 
as an informal social structure with, of course, no formal 
powers and no particular mandate other than to try to help 
noisebridge generally (after all, it seems obnoxious to 
set up some kind of excellence police group, and there are 
other runaway possibilities such a group might spin out on). 
    essentially a core group, in my mind, is simply aware 
of their common interests and can identify each other as 
similarly aware and willing to act together to help out. 

    i hope some members and non-members will consider this 
suggestion, which i offer in a doocratic and non-consensus-
requiring spirit.
