Hi Rikke, DIY bio and All,
I wonder if there is some special reason why not to include these
activities under Tastebridge which is suppose to cover bio/hacking
topics too of course (if there are people who are interested).
It was because of the historical reasons why Tastebridge doesn't have
bio in its name (very strong anti bio/tech feelings in Noisebridge). I
feel that this will just weaken the bio hacking movement within the
group and I really do not see why to create this separation. In other
words I can see immediately disadvantages like separate budgets,
equipment, activities, two different mailing lists, creating
completely new history of group etc. but I do not see benefits except
of bio in the name which I understand may be helpful to be quickly
distinguished within the DIY bio movement.
I would strongly advice you/others in DIY group to put it on the
Noisebridge discussion list and weekly meeting because as I've said
when I and few others come with the idea some 10 months ago, there was
a very strong movement against based on bio hacking past at
Noisebridge (Miloh and several others know more, it basically ended
with expulsion of the group). It maybe be possible to push it through
now, after people understood based on Tastebridge activities that
things are a bit different. However the same still remain, why to have
two different groups doing the same, is there really need for it? The
only other thing which comes to my mind is that if DIY bio screw
something up and would be cancelled, Tastebridge may function further
without any major problems. However take the credit of Tastebridge and
carefully do the bio hacking seems more easy.
So my question would be is it not more easy to reshape Tastebridge a
bit and continuing under the same label with a wider focus?
Sincerely,
Frantisek
PS I'm now out from SF quite for a while so I of course still feel
bond to Tastebridge but Tastebridge as Noisebridge is what people make
of it. So if Tastebridge closes down and something new start well that
is life, it happens. We have seen already what happens when the hacker
spaces split and generally it is quite a strain for the former group
however can be understood from geographical point of view
http://acemonstertoys.org/ plus many times different way of functioning.
