* Handling press at Noisebridge
* Handling press at Noisebridge
maybe we could have a workshop about press, how it works, how to handle it?  we did this 6-9 months ago and it was awesome, let's do it again. 
if someone starts asking questions, you can always refer them to our  press kit [[https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Press_Kit]] or press@ alias.  a line lots of people use is "i am not in a position to speak for noisebridge"
how do we handle new visitors?  is this similar? do we have or want a system for what we tell people, etc? Well, we have a poster.  We haven't really agreed to anything in particular.  it's great to do your own take on it.

shannon: we are doing something wrong here. it is awesome here but we have been lacking a certain something. how do we get people back?
maybe the culture needs some shoring up.  how can we make sure noisebridge is awesome.  jesus thinks we need to make sure we provide value, if we are inspirational people will see more worth in our culture.  We need to build this between ourselves.
also reducing the friction to donations.  bigger button on the wiki?
miloh says no, we think about it wrong.  members don't get something, they give something.  they are the ones who are responsible.
we will have a noisebridge hackathon monthly, on second saturdays.  please feel free to call a second one on a random day to make sure they happen more often.
check it: [[https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Noisebridge_Vision]]
we could do more classes. mentoring! this is a type of teaching that we could do really uniquely.
what's our twitter?  can more of us have access to it?
* Electric Heater

they're expensive.  wear a sweater or talk to mike about alternate ways to heat yourself with technology.  put your laptop in your lap.
* Clarification of drink/snack policy - John

Noisebridge should not purchase beverages.  if you want to purchase beverages out of your own pocket with the intent of people donating for drinking them, feel free.  it is questionable how efficient this is.  maybe we should buy a crushing machine.
