Hi, my name is Tucker Sheram, and I have been looking into and researching about hackerspaces. I really have to say that I love the idea of it all. To tell you a little bit about myself, i am a computer science major at the University of North Georgia, i am a cadet here at the school, and I am an Infantryman in the Army national Guard. I really want to be apart of a hackerspace, but the only thing is that the closest one to me is about 2 hours drive away. There just is not enough time in the day for me to be able to go there learn new stuff and "help" with projects. So my main question here is that i was wondering if there was some way I could be apart of your hackerspace, and more important for me, to learn from the people that do actually go there. Since the interaction would be online I figured I might as well go for what i can tell to be one of the better hackerspaces, even though you are 2,500 miles away.
Thank you for your time, Tucker Sheram
p.s. I could not get this to fall under the contents box without it being the first one, sorry.

Hi,  My name is Marlon Boothe. I recently found out about your community. I'm excited about joining you guys. I'm currently looking for sponsors. I tried joining the irc chanel but something went wrong at the end of the set up. Please help. Thanks.

== Captcha fix request ==
All these moments will be lost in time... "like tears in rain" - w/o the direct article.  tyvm :-)  [[Special:Contributions/66.31.46.165|66.31.46.165]] 00:20, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

(71.135.45.119, I moved your comment to a new section so it's more easily viewable. My response follows)
 
71.135.45.119 writes: Why indeed is it so "important" that New Visitors undergo the ordeal of being required to slog through something that even remotely approaches an undergraduate essay to find out what they really need to know??!!
 
:That is an excellent question! The gist is that it's really good for visitors to know that they will have a better experience (not get kicked out etc..) if they have a sponsor when they are in the space. This is because of the new "members and their guests only policy". So I'm guessing that the instructions to new visitors should try to strike a balance between "Visitors Welcome!" and "Here's exactly how to be an approved guest!" and "Look how easy it is to be an approved guest!" or something like that. And that is what is being worked on now... and you are participating in that very process! --[[User:Gadlen|gadlen]] ([[User talk:Gadlen|talk]]) 19:28, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
 
== Arduino ==
 
H Noisebridge friends,
 
I am looking for some help with an arduino project.
My mail is doroskir@gmail.com

: Doros, you'd do well writing your full question to the Noisebridge-Discussion mailing list --[[User:Gadlen|gadlen]] ([[User talk:Gadlen|talk]]) 00:49, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
 
 
== Meet the [[User:Nthmost|New Boss]], same as the [[User:Flamsmark|Old Boss]] ==
09:20, 14 May 2014‎ [[User:Nthmost|Nthmost]] ([[User talk:Nthmost|Talk]] | contribs)‎ m . . (0)‎ . . (Protected "Noisebridge": Excessive vandalism (‎[edit=autoconfirmed] (indefinite) ‎[move=autoconfirmed] (indefinite)))
 
'''Really?'''  Protecting the front page from random anonymous trolling (not even good trolling, just people opportunistically replacing the front page with racial slurs and porn), and making it so that people have to register an account (any account, even a bullshit account) is "bossing"?  Last I checked, we had a lock on the front gate to Noisebridge, is that a problem too?
 
Look, the admins are getting overwhelmed.  This is an experiment.  The protection level is "Block new and unregistered users."  That means the "barrier to entry" is still pretty low -- make an account and then write something in a user page (doesn't even have to be "real").  You could even make several accounts.  The point is to increase friction, not to prevent people from editing.
 
Is this unreasonable?  I am asking honestly.  Educate me.  [[User:Nthmost|Nthmost]] ([[User talk:Nthmost|talk]])
 
== Refurbishment for Reboot ==
 
JeffreyATW wrote:"food/music not necessary for rebooting the space"
 
The negatives of food/music are that there has been a rodent problem re:food, plus the idea that loudspeaker music should definitely not interrupt classes.
 
OTOH, for those not going out of their way to be killjoys (i.e., the typical "Bad Cop"), there should be little other problems with HAVING food/music around while rebooting the space. These are even likely to be good incentives to draw we folks to help out a bit more with the refurbishing action going on.
 
== [[User:JeffreyATW]]'s semi-Nuclear Option of 08-06-14 ==
 
Submitted for review shall be today's arbitrary semi-Nuclear Option unilaterally enacted over non-vandalistic and beneficial edits.
 
Just as way back in November 2013 through February 2014, this time from today's [[https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Special:Log/protect| Protection log]]....<br>

Sure is an unprecedented number of retaliatory clampdowns all concentrated within a mere 73-minute period.<br>
Straying away from being a good example of [[Noisebridge_Vision| Noisebridge's Vision of Excellence]] now, are we?
 
OTOH, the primary benefit of allowing '''beneficial''' Anon-user edits is that this probably will, in fact, '''enhance''' Noisebridge's ability to meet (and exceed!) the Reboot IndieGoGo's fundraising expectations with respect to other concurrent fundraising events happening throughout the area that so many of us are aware of. Indeed, [[User:JeffreyATW]]'s rather arbitrary decision to overly pack the main Wiki's 'Upcoming Events' section with nearly a dozen individual listings and his elected semi-Nuclear Option may neither be particularly helpful of overall Class-A-Thon scheduling+attendance nor helpful, ultimately, for current Reboot IndieGoGo fundraising efforts. 
 
As of this writing, the ultimate IndieGoGo Reboot fundraising goal of $25k '''remains''' quite a ways off, so beneficial options that better encourage donations ought not to get so casually dismissed by [[User:JeffreyATW]].
 
(A much less significantly-related aside is the fairly straightforward fact that [[User:JeffreyATW]] simply cannot block '''all''' Anon-user IP addresses solely by himself, whether those of beneficial contributors or otherwise.)
 
 
Again, the pulling off of [[User:JeffreyATW]]'s semi-Nuclear Option above shall be submitted for review.<br>
[[User:JeffreyATW]] may now proceed to retaliate against Discussion such as this by arbitrarily clamping down Anon-user edits in this section, i.e., this very comment.<br>
 
== Anyone else for Outside Lands today or Sunday? ==
 
Bunch of us are skipping out on all of this weekend's Classes-A-Thon to go to [http://www.sfoutsidelands.com | Outside Lands].
Anyone else with '' '''real''' '' OL tickets wanna meet up with us this afternoon?
If so, go ahead & hit us up on the NB Discuss List!
