Social Engineers
Technical Solutions to Social Problems
I am pretending to be spammer. spamspam
"You cannot apply a technological solution to a sociological problem." - Edwards' Law
"Every time I hear Edwards' Law, I reach for my gun" - the Noisebridge Secretaribot
There are lots of fascinating challenges to running a hackerspace using the purest anarchist collective principles, many of which we appear (from the outside) to talk about endlessly. Some of them are actually *about* the need to talk endlessly.
Noisebridge's Social Engineering group's motto is "A little less talk, a lot more evidence-based semi-autonomous behaviouralist actions."
We brainstorm and implement new software, hardware, and architecture that can support Noisebridge's unique social contract in the same way that almost all of the rest of our culture works to support _its_ definition of normality.
You can meet with us on Tuesdays from 7pm-8pm before the official Meeting in Turing, or join the socialengineering mailing list
Current facilitator for the Social Engineers is Danny.
