[Noisebridge-discuss] why would hackers come to noisebridge?

[Romy Snowyla]

I understand but I don't understand why we keep having these sleeping debates. 

The terms of the lease make it all clear.

The Hacker Dojo is supposed to be members only from 10pm to 8am, but there's always people who sneak in to sleep there.  In the early days of the Dojo, the last member to leave would kick everyone out and put a deadbolt in the door.  We never had a problem with finding sleepy people in the morning!

This was done at the south bay hackerspace when we didn't have doors that could be opened from the inside.  I remember I had to ask people sleeping to leave because I was about to lock up.  It was definitely a good way to prevent people from staying overnight.

Lately I worry that even classes are threatened because infrastructure has decayed to the point where hosting a workshop is a challenge. You no longer know if there will be a working bathroom, a stable internet connection or a roll of solder (and it's frustrating to donate parts or dedicate time to fix things when they go missing or are left in disarray the next time you come by).
