[Noisebridge-discuss] hear ye hear ye, Noisebridge board elections

[Danny O'Brien]

In accordance with my own suggestion for people to post their positions:

My own board position is that the board should be a Minimal Viable
Board, in which board members merely act to comply with the decisions
proposed and accepted by the consensus process.

I am suspicious and unaccepting of robot power, and think AIs should
go back to Artificial Intelligentsia where they belong

That is all!
