A thing that's been on our collective mind lately is the relatively small number of people making big things happen at Noisebridge. Its a feeling that this number is slowly sliding back into the entropy danger zone.
Another thing that's been on *everyone's* mind is: Wow that reboot thing went pretty good, eh? Lets have another!

Refresh2015PosterWiki.jpg

REFRESH will be the weekend of October 24th-25th.

We've been Noisebridging for quite some time by now. So have many others. Many, many others.

However there's also a lot of newbies who still have hopes and dreams.

Another thing that's been on *everyone's* mind is: Wow that reboot thing went pretty good, eh? Lets have another!

Why not, hmm? Working on the space together gives us an opportunity to improve the space and get to know each other.

If you have an Excellent idea to improve the space in some way, please come DO it.

We'll close Noisebridge for the weekend. Fix all the things that we've been wanting to hack on but nobody's had the time to get everyone together, build a big todo list, sort out supplies, and MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Sounds like a lot, huh? Thats fine. We can do it. We're Noisebridge. We did a whole 3 month long reboot last year, so we can totally have a two day long hack day where we hack on Noisebridge.
