'''ZiP (Zine-in-Progress)''' is a zine arising from and devoted to Noisebridge, started by fervent Bridge acolyte Tony Longshanks (aka The Wonderful Wizard of ZiP, or WonWiz) in December, 2011. The inaugural issue, '''ZiP No. 1,''' will be finished and available - barring an unforeseen calamity - at '''5 Minutes of Fame''' on '''Thursday, Jan. 19.''' It's going to be fun night, so sign up to give a 5MoF talk now and we'll see you there for the unveiling.
Another ZiP-related project in conception is a collection of peoples' recollections of the first time they came to Noisebridge. Read more about the proposed [[anthology]].
 
The full text of each issue will also be available online (CMS site currently under construction). Limited print runs of each completed issue will be available on a monthly or quarterly (4 x per year) basis, with more copies always available to print on demand. Cost may be a factor but we'll cross that bridge later.
 
'''If you wish to submit material for the inaugural issue, please do so by Sunday, Jan. 15th - sooner if possible!''' Email submissions to '''anthonyletigre (at) gmail.com;''' other modes of submission are detailed below.

At present, ZiP is edited by Tony and largely consists of his material, but '''submissions by other Noisebridgers are encouraged,''' and have been and will continue to be included. Be sure to include your name – or a name, at any rate – if you wish to be credited! The original ZiP concept was not a solo zine but a collaborative effort by all interested users of this unique creative incubator that would represent an official or semi-official Noisebridge publication. That ambition may have been a bit lofty at the outset, but we're not ditching it yet. It may have to simmer for a while but we're confident it will come to a beautiful rolling boil in time, and all sorts of great things are bound to bubble up in its wake.
 
One such side project is an anthology of peoples' recollections of the first time they came to Noisebridge. Read more about the [[anthology]] here.
