[Noisebridge-discuss] Gabriella Coleman's book party in November

[Seth David Schoen]

Gabriella would like to have her book party at Noisebridge in November
(for her new academic book about hacker culture).  I think that would be
nice.  Does anyone have any concerns about this?

Hello Noisebridge,

I will be in San Francisco for the American Anthropological Association
meetings two weeks after the publication of my first book on the
politics of free software: Coding Freedom: The Ethics and Aesthetics of
Hacking (http://press.princeton.edu/titles/9883.html and will be
released with a CC license).

I did a chunk of my fieldwork in San Francisco between 2001-2003 and
thought it would be quite fitting to hold a book event while visiting
the foggy city and Noisebridge came up as a possible venue.

It would be amazing to hold an event in the Mission, at a hacker space,
after the culmination of such a LONG project where  I can also thank
those, like Seth Schoen, who is not only featured in the book but also
was a great friend during my time there (and still is, just now  remotely).

I am thinking of holding the event on Friday November 16. I can provide
snacks and drinks and can assure you that if held, it would only
attract modest numbers; I imagine a handful of Anthropologists, folks
from the EFF , some local open source developers, and perhaps a few
interested stragglers might show up.

Seth Schoen has kindly agreed to be my messenger but feel free to
contact me with any questions, queries, or concerns.

Warm Regards,
Gabriella
