If we were to shut down Noisebridge for say a week, work on it, then restart it up, what would you do in that week, or encourage others to do?
We would announce it well in advance, and could reset pretty much everything. Some suggestions below:

* switch over from buzzer to keycode system
* finish off the lights
* do something with the backroom behind the kitchen
* actually hang the kitchen properly
* redo the front space with some clear GUIDANCE for newbies
* take down all the signs, put up clear signs
* declare a hackershelf reset -- anything that people mark, goes!
* deep clean
* more noise mitigation for classrooms
* set up a cafe area
* hold a reset party
* declare the membership list public, and give out medals to all members
* have a once-only honorary membership grant to people helping out
* take lots of photographs
* declare any backpacks full of clothes to be objecta-non-grata

Jake likes these ideas AND wants to help identify stuff from the member shelves.

Zephyr declares this to be a great idea.

Jared likes this idea too and would help.

== The Great Noisebridge Rebase of 2013! ==

After many hundreds of earth weeks of 24/7 opening, we're thinking about closing down Noisebridge for a couple of weeks for to do all the things that you can't really do when the space is open.

What kind of things, you ask?

We'd like you to tell us, second-person Noisebridge person!

Here's our proposed process. If you have a major Noisebridge structural change or improvement you'd like to conduct, sit write down and write it up as a Proposal For Awesomeness (PFA), similar to an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Request_for_Comments RFC], using the template below. Along with your PFA, list who you're working on the project with (ask them first!).

Noisebridge will have a big old discussion, and a meeting (possibly multiple meetings) where we'll go through all the proposals, and consent on the ones that will be part of the Rebase. The folks that are included in the PFA get to spend a delightful few days working like ROBOT SLAVES on building up Noisebridge, on a date to also be determined (probably by seeking to maximize the people who volunteered and are available).
