Hooray!  We're so glad you want to visit. Noisebridge is a space that has been designed since its inception to be open pretty much to anyone 24/7.  We especially welcome those who like to tinker and to hack on things, and are generally nice. On average, we don't appreciate people looking for a halfway house to sleep in, to steal things, or to be on the lookout for giveaway freebies and people to annoy. Read here for more [[Visitor advice]] on our culture and some suggestions on how to interface with it. Our collectivist [[Do-ocracy]] -style anarchy is often strange to people who are accustomed to more authoritarian structures, and many new visitors are initially confused on how things work or who they should talk to about things.

Noisebridge is located on the 3rd floor of 2169 Mission. There is a staircase up and an accessible elevator as well.  The elevator can be a little persnickety but it has a bell that rings up into the space for assistance if needed.  More [[Accessibility]] info available as well.  Read on for ways to get into the building.
Keep in mind we have limited hours while we reboot from the pandemic and our move to a new building!

'''If you've never been to the space before''', simply press the door bell on the right of the gate labeled "Noisebridge" with tiny text. If there's someone in the space who feels like giving a tour (most of the time, except for late at night and early morning) they may buzz you in.
'''If you've never been to the space before''', press the Doorbell and wait. There is generally someone available to answer the door when Noisebridge is open.


If you are inside Noisebridge and want to open the gate for someone outside you can look through the handy-dandy "periscope" closed-circuit camera to see who's there. If you know them, hit the "DOOR" button on the intercom pad to buzz them in. Please take responsibility for the people you let into the space!
You can use Noisebridge free, without being a member! Of course, donations are welcome!


Otherwise, here are some cunning ways to get in.
Good times to catch us is in the afternoons during the week, and 11am-10pm on weekends. Other times we may be open but it's not peak hours.  


* If you've got a valid code, you can use the [[ Keycode Access | payphone keypad ]] next to the gate to let yourself in.
=== [[RFID Token]] ===
* There's an [[Apps|app]] for your Android device which will open the gate (almost) every time.
If you are around for a while and apply to be a [[Philanthropist]] or [[Member]], you can get an [[RFID Token]] and a key, and therefore can enter without using the doorbell.  
* SSH into [[Pony]], and run <tt>opengate</tt>, which is an excellent wrapper for the Noisbridge [[API]] command <tt>curl -X POST http://api.noisebridge.net/gate/open</tt>.
* From inside Noisbridge, go to http://pony.noise/gate '''OR''' http://172.30.0.30/gate/
* Sadly, [[Gatebot]] doesn't work right now.
