Official, Semi-Official, one-off and other events at the Noisebridge space.

Event Calendar

Not all events make it onto this calendarMany events only make it to the Discussion or Announcements mailing lists, IRC or in person at Tuesday meetings. Best of all, Noisebridge is about people getting together at the space in San Francisco to do stuff..like in person. Some events just happen. Pay attention!

If you'd like to host an event yourself, we recommend involving at least one Noisebridge member, and have advice on hosting an event at Noisebridge.

View the Google Calendar.

To post Google Calendar entries for your event or to gain access to do so for yourself, ask on the noisebridge-discuss mailing list.
