[Noisebridge-discuss] Fwd: how Noisebridge could improve

[Christoph Maier]

As much as I find that it complicates matters,
you can devise rules, mission statemens [see
https://noisebridge.net/wiki/File:Noisebridge_Mission_Statement.JPG for my
stab at it],
visions, etc. etc.
all you want, but in the end, whether stuff works or doesn't depends on
specific people and their idiosyncratic way of making stuff work.
And those people change from time to time ... anything long-term at
noisebridge is beyond my imagination.

I can think of a bazillion reasons why what works with Frantisek doesn't
work with anyone else.

The alternative is that Law Enforcement (i.e. folks who like to enforce
laws on others), or chaos.
Well, some folks make Chaos AND things work :-P
