Noisebridge continues to exist through and depends entirely on membership fees and donations. Our code of conduct is 'Be excellent to each other'."</blockquote>

== New or Stale Events ==

* '''Invite a knowledgeable volunteer to describe''' [[membership]], and the application process.
** posters
<blockquote>Being a member of Noisebridge is not like being a member of a gym or your local chess club. Anyone can come to Noisebridge to hack and learn: you don't need to be a member for that. At Noisebridge, membership is something different: it means taking responsibility and committing to help to maintain, improve, and govern Noisebridge. As a member of Noisebridge, you don't just come here to hack and learn, you actively work to improve what you see around you, help to deal with problems, and make this community better than it is today.</blockquote>
** smore's parts kit & assembly instructions
* Read off any names from the binder for the past month. Write a check on every open application.

Last (first) [[Toorcamp]] was awesome, probably this one will be too. Noisebridge people are going.
** answer any questions members may have for them, then
 
** leave the area in search of gifts (traditionally beer and a lime, or cookies) for the rest of the group.
WE need  people to help make 3 pyramids of ƧIИƎԀ at Toorcamp
