[[File:NB_Reboot_2014_SSclip.png||link=https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/noisebridge-reboot-2014/]]

We're raising $25K for our parts and labor expenditures! [https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/noisebridge-reboot-2014/ Help us out at our IndieGoGo fundraising campaign page.]

'''The Reboot schedule:'''

* July 1st: "hard close" - major cleanout of the space (necessary to allow all electrical work to be done)
* August 1st: "soft reopening" - work will still be in progress, but guests will be allowed.
* August 9th to 15th: '''[[Class-A-Thon|Class-A-Thon Week!]]''' A full week of special Noisebridge donation-encouraging classes and workshops leading up to...
* August 15th: Grand Reopening and Kickass Fundraising Party to benefit the Noisebridge Reboot.

''Volunteer Labor Needed!'' 

Contact Naomi: pnaomi at gmail DOT com / @nthmost on Twitter.

:Current needs:
* Painting and patching the walls.
* Refinishing the floors <-- (most of the work)
* Building the missing top parts of walls.
* Moving large quantities of stuff from one part of the space to the other.
* Cleaning in ways Noisebridge has never been cleaned (e.g. the server room)
* Graphic, photo, and web layout editing for this wiki you are reading right now.

:An hour, a few hours, lots of hours -- however much time you would like to add.
:We'd be especially '''mega''' grateful for those of you who could spare daytime hours!

------------------ 
Note that while Noisebridge is officially closed for the rest of the month for critical cleanups and retrofits, our associated hackerspace in Oakland, [https://sudoroom.org/ Sudo Room], has already relocated to its new [http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Main_Page Omni Oakland Collective] location and is now '''open'''. Please see Sudo Room's [https://lists.sudoroom.org/pipermail/sudo-discuss/ Discuss list] and [https://lists.sudoroom.org/pipermail/sudo-announce/ Announce list] postings for further status on this local hackerspace alternative available during our July closure.

Please participate in the space and our [[Meetings|weekly Tuesday meetings]] to see if we're the right audience for what you want to share before announcing a new event. Additionally, here are some [[Hosting an Event]] tips.

[[Press Coverage]]: mentions of Noisebridge in the media (both blog and dead tree).

[[Identity]]: A collection of resources revolving around our identity and logo.

[[The Neighborhood]]: "Holy shit, dude! What in the hell is going on? My dick.... its HUGE!", he shouted. The commotion of these two had attracted setient's attention, who had just happened to be passing through to grab a bottle of water out of the back room. When he looked over at yardena, he saw the huge mound of dick under his spandex tights. He almost dropped the bottle on the floor; he was so shocked. "yardena, what's happening to me? What is going on with my dick?"

== Status ==
Noisebridge is at its lowest grassroots stage, runlevel 2. 
The space is open only for [[Reboot|repairs, updates, retrofits, etc.]]

We began building Noisebridge in February 2007. Since December 2007 we've had regular Tuesday meetings, and rented our first physical space as of October 1st 2008. We quickly outgrew our first space and have been at our much larger 5,200 square-foot second location since October 1st 2009. We are a [[Incorporation|tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization]] as of July 2009, retroactive to October 2008.

== Watch the Pirate Bay documentary premiere! ==

Hi Noisebridge friends,

I just got the chance to check out your beautiful space and wanted to share my film about the Pirate Bay with your community.

We are releasing the film for free online from the premiere on Jan 8th.

Please check out the trailer here

Hi, My name is Marlon Boothe. I recently found out about your community. I'm excited about joining you guys. I'm currently looking for sponsors. I tried joining the irc chanel but something went wrong at the end of the set up. Please help. Thanks.

(71.135.45.119, I moved your comment to a new section so it's more easily viewable. My response follows)

71.135.45.119 writes: Why indeed is it so "important" that New Visitors undergo the ordeal of being required to slog through something that even remotely approaches an undergraduate essay to find out what they really need to know??!!

:That is an excellent question! The gist is that it's really good for visitors to know that they will have a better experience (not get kicked out etc..) if they have a sponsor when they are in the space. This is because of the new "members and their guests only policy". So I'm guessing that the instructions to new visitors should try to strike a balance between "Visitors Welcome!" and "Here's exactly how to be an approved guest!" and "Look how easy it is to be an approved guest!" or something like that. And that is what is being worked on now... and you are participating in that very process! --[[User:Gadlen|gadlen]] ([[User talk:Gadlen|talk]]) 19:28, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

H Noisebridge friends,

I am looking for some help with an arduino project.
My mail is doroskir@gmail.com

'''Really?''' Protecting the front page from random anonymous trolling (not even good trolling, just people opportunistically replacing the front page with racial slurs and porn), and making it so that people have to register an account (any account, even a bullshit account) is "bossing"? Last I checked, we had a lock on the front gate to Noisebridge, is that a problem too?

Look, the admins are getting overwhelmed. This is an experiment. The protection level is "Block new and unregistered users." That means the "barrier to entry" is still pretty low -- make an account and then write something in a user page (doesn't even have to be "real"). You could even make several accounts. The point is to increase friction, not to prevent people from editing.

Is this unreasonable? I am asking honestly. Educate me. [[User:Nthmost|Nthmost]] ([[User talk:Nthmost|talk]])

== Refurbishment for Reboot ==

JeffreyATW wrote:"food/music not necessary for rebooting the space"

The negatives of food/music are that there has been a rodent problem re:food, plus the idea that loudspeaker music should definitely not interrupt classes.

OTOH, for those not going out of their way to be killjoys (i.e., the typical "Bad Cop"), there should be little other problems with HAVING food/music around while rebooting the space. These are even likely to be good incentives to draw we folks to help out a bit more with the refurbishing action going on.

setient was so lost in his reveries that he hardly noticed how boned he was until the sound of large gobs of pre splattering loudly against elevator snapped him out of it. His dick was shuddering visibly and streaming pre like a faucet. He knew he wasn’t going to be going anywhere until he got his libido under control. He just hoped he could keep himself in check long enough to flag down some guards to get him out of the courtyard and over to one of the designated draining spots. His recent daydreams had gotten him so worked up that his nuts had almost doubled in size.
