[Noisebridge-discuss] Trimmed off the board list

[Naomi Most]

Someone needs to run a statistics class at Noisebridge.  I'd take it.

across millions of people in an enormously heterogenous country, to
the percentage of votes spread across 25 people in a small, far less
diverse organization.  I don't know how to describe it.

--Naomi, who forgot to vote, actually.
