[Noisebridge-discuss] anti-anonymity proposals

"The members only policy has broken my heart and I've been struggling with a sense of frustration ..."

>>> Thank you for the wording, that is exactly how I felt about this but it was hard to express it correctly.

>>> I hope that the place will open again to the public in a ways of making sure it is again an inviting to both hackers and supportive crowd (as someone nicely put it few emails back). 

>>> I'm going to propose a suggestion to a new threat because one thing which I think Jake was/is right is that there were not really pronounced alternatives or push to implement them and without a special effort things may be too challenging for increased number of people who are physically around Noisebridge these days, it looks like that there is a need to change the atmosphere - not to the old days I think, you do not "step in the same river" at Noisebridge but something what is closer to the ideas on which or from which Noisebridge started to grow and did and hopefully will again flourish.

>>> Sincerely,

>>> FAA

>>> PS It may take me day or so, I want to make a wiki page on it to do it right.

The members only policy has broken my heart and I've been struggling with a sense of frustration and hopelessness about changing things. 

I'm not a member, nor an "associate member" but I will be present at the next meeting to support Leif's proposal to revoke the member's only policy that has stripped us of the culture that I once loved.
