I don't have any memory of this coming up in the last four years.  Once I
applied Mitch's principle "that the person both contribute to and benefit
from the community" to someone that camped on the chrome stations about 12
hours a day for a few months. I asked the person if they had any plans to
work on projects. They became very angry at me and I asked them to leave.
They became even more incredulous and irate, so I asked them to not come
back.  They were not 86'd because there was no concern that they would come
back.

for no-questions-asked surveillance-free internet usage for anyone...
right?

The "you" and "we" here is palpable. Noisebridge is living art.  The
organizational meme is propagated by the people who are at Noisebridge.
The kiosks provide the valuable service as you describe it every day.


Hats off to all those who have done the hard work of showing up and working
on Noisebridge for the past 11 years.

It's an amazing place full of kind people who listen carefully.
