[Noisebridge-discuss] cron job email or real event?

[Henner Zeller]

Thank you Jake to remind everyone to focus on the positive spin. Fixing
Noisebridge is something that wears people out so not wasting the the
remaining mental energy in silly word-games and fingerpointing or just
sloppy dismissal is important. Working on the positive route ahead is the
right way to focus the energy.

Jake, Johny and Naomi, you are incredible dedicated in working to make
Noisebridge a better place, thank you! You are at different levels of
do-ocratic contribution in past and present, at different qualities of
frustration, but don't pick on each others' words and try to keep the
conversation carried with a positive spin -- you all want the same :) Be
gentle to each other.
