[Noisebridge-discuss] Noisebridge-discuss March 30th Fundraiser? Yay or nay?

In occupy NYC, these were common tropes re: people on the finance
committee; at the meetings I attended, half of the time was spent diffusing
the anger of people not well versed in the procedures of the committee. I
continue to find a Baysean analysis to be useful in this matter: your
stated concerns necessitate an incredibly pernicious and extended
undocumented campaign on Rob's part. Alternatively, the finance committee
here had the same communication and perception problems I remember from '11.
How should we overcome this?
