Ring the Noisebridge doorbell and wait a few minutes, someone will probably buzz you in.  If no one answers, you can ring again after a bit but please be patient - someone has to get up from hacking to answer the door.


'''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 taking the stairs, go all the way to the top and ring the doorbell there again.


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!

* If you've got a valid code, you can use the [[ Keycode Access | payphone keypad ]] next to the gate to let yourself in.
* There's an [[Apps|app]] for your Android device which will open the gate (almost) every time.
* 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.
