[Noisebridge-discuss] Entry & Security

[girlgeek]

Jake,
I certainly wasn't criticizing the video.  It's awesome.
But
Last meeting, with all that mass of members.....There were a half dozen 
oogles on the couches, not hacking, not doing any harm.  NO ONE 
(including me) invited them to leave.
I had the distinct feeling that they were waiting for the place to clear 
out so that they could get some sleep.
