[Noisebridge-discuss] Fwd: Charging for Lockers

[Al Sweigart]

I'm going to put forward a proposal for Noisebridge to spend up to a $1000
to buy metal lockers for the space.

NB's budget should be carefully tended, but that's why I think we should
make this purchase: This is something that will generate revenue for
Noisebridge.
