[Noisebridge-discuss] get involved, show people around

[Jake]

if you care enough about noisebridge to read this email, or to have 
feelings about the place at all, and live close enough that you can 
actually visit the place in person:

please join up as an associate member.  It means you're willing to help 
represent noisebridge to newcomers, and that you're willing to let people 
in the door and show them around, and offer your help to them while they 
get acquainted.

you don't have to pay any money, and you don't have to go through a big 
process in the meeting.  The only hard part is figuring out who the 
members are who can sign your application (it will get easier)

but that's the fun part!  You love noisebridge, so learn a little more 
about it.  Then you can more effectively share it with other people.  And 
if you're worried that non-members won't feel welcome or will be asked to 
leave because no one wants them there, you will be able to step up and 
host them any time you're present.

You don't have to be in the same room or hold their hand the whole time, 
just be willing to help them (and your community) to solve problems if 
they arise.  just introduce yourself and help keep them from fucking up.

let's make noisebridge a more welcoming place by stepping up and getting 
involved.  and actually showing up.
