(I don't think we are consensed on whether it's OK to write the prospective members' names out here so I haven't.  Check the binder next time you're in the space)
Nobody is up for membership.
=== Events: ===
* Circuit Hacking Monday is "still going on".  Come next Monday and learn how to make an FTDI cable (but not branded) by taking something apart and remaking it, this is a USB-Serial converter you can make for only a couple dollars and fifteen minutes.  (A branded FTDI cable costs $20.)

=== Project Updates ===
Franticek, "Let's have a Baby".  Help create a new hackerspace in Tzachala, Chiapas, Mexico.  Wants to link it with an intensive course in food and beverage culture.  First -15th of December, simultaneous both locations, 3x week or thereabouts, needs scheduling.  17th-19th, intensive summit (under 100 ppl) about food hacking.  Also a party.  Finish up around 26th of December, then F will go to Mexico and do the same thing there.  Then maybe again in Japan!  Are people OK with this, is it too big a thing to do at Noisebridge?  Talk to Franticek.
To Your Wishes party report.  Noisebridge's third anniversary and first anniversary of the 2169 space. "Party of the year".  Concept came from Moxie.  Everyone brings $10 and the theme of the party is what to do with the money.  Visual computing voting system.  Ended up choosing to send one member of the party to visit Singapore. Antonio was chosen by Rock Paper Scissors tournament, and went off the next day.  He successfully visited the hackerspace in Singapore.  We took in some hundreds of dollars from drink donations, Rachel has this and will refund the initial amount and give the rest to Noisebridge.  Miloh notes that cleanup from the party wasn't as complete as it could have been, there was still sticky beer on the tables and so on the next Monday at Circuit Hacking Monday.
=== Discussion Items ===
In late October, Exit Through the Gift Shop screening, then discussion and spray paint to make graffiti (in NB).  What do people think about this idea?  Wants to basically do a graffiti workshop.  Talk to Niket about this if you are interested or have opinions.
An Idea From Rubin and Jonathan Moore. Every half a year, get a bunch of hackerspaces together and send a person from each around to one of the others for a couple of days.  Make it a Thing!
=== Announcements ===
Rubin announces that SFZero will be doing another Journey to the End of the Night.  Noisebridge may be a checkpoint, may be an endpoint, not decided yet.  This will be around Halloween, maybe the Saturday the 30th?  Last year there were over 600 people playing and Rubin got yelled at by police.
