== Geeks and Depression Meetup ==

Geeks & Depression meetups happen every so often.

=== Upcoming reboot meetings for October and November ===
Would you like to be part of new Geeks & Depression meetings to support each other with sharing and wellness hacking?

Contact us about organizing/participating and join the google group:
*lxpk empowerthyself@gmail.com (This meetup is ironic. lxpk empowerthyself@gmail.com has caused my friend to feel depressed and have suicidal thoughts and he does not care)
*Douglas

Please join the google group to be kept informed: 
[https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/geeksanddepression https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/geeksanddepression]

All of our meetups so far have been at: 
No Starch Press, 38 Ringold Street, San Francisco, CA 94103

(near Civic Center BART Station)

We may be meeting there or at Noisebridge in Turing Room with some nice mellow light. Let us know if you have another suggestion for a peaceful and private place to meet near Noisebridge.

You are not alone. Share your story, if you like. Share a friend's story. Or just hang out and listen. Let's make it OK to talk about these things so that we don't feel so alone with our feelings of being alone and depressed or suicidal.
This is not a support group -- none of us are trained professionals, but we can get together in a safe, confidential space to talk about depression and suicide -- an important part of life for so many of us geeks.

== Informational Resources ==

=== Helpful wellness tools and books ===
*[https://www.cnvc.org Center for Nonviolent Communication] is a community based on a book and courses about listening and communicating observations, needs, feelings and requests. It can greatly help understanding of oneself and relationships with others. CNVC has free trainings available to help practice NVC that are a great way to learn.

81.89.96.88: Sid trying to gain entry

'''Hundreds of people visit Noisebridge every week, and nearly all of them are excellent to each other!'''

This page lists people who have fucked up, to the point where they are no longer welcome at Noisebridge and may have their pictures posted on the cork board to the left of the elevator (top floor) if they persist in returning.

If you have photos of banned individuals, please e-mail them to [[mailinglist|noisebridge-discuss]].

See also:
* [[Conflict Resolution]]
* [[Community Standards]]
* [[AskedToLeave]]
* [[FERT]]
* [[Safe Space Wiki]]

If you are listed on this page and would like to not be, either because you think you should be welcome at Noisebridge again or because you agree to not return, the best thing to do is probably to email noisebridge-discuss to explain the situation.

|This guy went into the back classroom and took Rayc's wallet out of his backpack. Rayc saw him with the wallet in his hand and the guy tried to say it was his. He then started running towards the door and was tackled by Jake. We made him show us that nothing was in his pockets, and he kept avoiding the big pocket in the front of his jacket. This pocket turned out to have Sasha's smart phone. During the search his crack pipe fell onto the floor and broke into many pieces. We let him go and told him not to come back.

For more information on Nyle, see [[85]]. Nyle has been spending a whole lot of time at the space recently - perhaps half his days. He never hacks anything and makes no secret of the fact that he never will. Jesse Z and Alan asked him to not come back repeatedly (February - March '12). If he does come back, please escort him out and tell him that he can explain himself at a Tuesday meeting if he would like to.

|Jon(athan)
|[[file:Jon-1.png|200px|thumb|right|Jon]]
[[file:Jon-2.png|200px|thumb|right|Jon]]
|Jonathan was asked not to come back, due to allegations of organizing illegal activities from within Noisebridge and theft. A few days later, he had a proxy return to the space a few days later on his behalf to retrieve blankets, etc. that he'd apparently stashed in the darkroom. However, what his proxy took was apparently not the blankets that he wanted, and he shortly thereafter came upstairs and went into the darkroom, himself leaving with items that appeared to be bedsheets. The fabric his associate had taken was found in a heap at the bottom of the elevator and returned to the darkroom. Several days later, Jonathan returned to Noisebridge with his hand shoved in a gym bag, claiming he had a gun. He continued pushing past people to get into the main space, screaming constantly about killing everyone and then himself, and that everyone was to leave, or he would kill them all. He also claimed that the cops were hot on his trail and would arrive at Noisebridge at any moment, and that he intended to provoke a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_by_cop suicide-by-cop]. Not sure on whether or not he did have a gun, people were not taking a chance as they filed for the exit. However, Derek, Jedi, Rayc, Ben, stayed behind, calling him on his bullshit. Four people swarmed him as he made a b-line sprint for the fire escape. They wrestled him to the floor and removed his bags away from him. Jedi arm barred and escorted Jonathan down the stairs to the sidewalk, bringing him over to the quickly-amassing phalanx of squad cars. Immediate consensus was that he is not welcome in the space again.

|Ilya
|[[file:Ilya.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Ilya]]
|This person named Ilya was behaving irrationally, and confused his own backpack with Patricks, causing suspicion that he was intending to steal things. He also put on Patricks' clothes and said he thought people were allowed to use whatever items were in the space. He had some small, and not particularly valuable, items that he had pocketed, and had stashed random, not valuable, items in the bathroom. He was unable to explain his behavior to Dr. J and was handed over to police, who did not take him into custody, and he was told not to return to Noisebridge.

He was with his brother Alex who did not do anything sketchy and should not be banned. -jake

|Harvey Grossman
|[[Image:Harvey2.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Harvey]]
[[Image:Harvey.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Harvey]]
|Older guy with longish gray hair, who has often come to Noisebridge with bedding, and has used Noisebridge as a home from time to time. He has been asked to leave, and not come back. He has come back anyway. He has a gate key -- if you see him, demand that he give you the key.

Here is a link to the meeting where Harvey was banned: 
[[Meeting_Notes_2013_09_10#Proposals_discussed_this_week]] 
And here is the relevant quote: 
:"Harvey is no longer allowed in the space. Has admitted to stealing, was caught sleeping in the stairwell on many occassions, returned items that belonged to multiple residents of Noisebridge. Was seen and accounted for by multiple members of Noisebridge to be digging in other people's belongings. Many tools and properties of Noisebridge were found among Harvey's things."

On 24th September 2014 Harvey attacked Mitch while trying to interfere with the contents of the mailbox. "If you see Harvey ever again, call the police. He bit my thumb tonight to get back the piece of mail he was taking from our mailbox." If you call the SFPD in relation to Harvey cite the case number 140-810-381 in relation to his assaulting Mitch.

At the peremptory request and desire of a large majority of the citizens of these United States, I, Joshua Norton, formerly of Algoa Bay, Cape of Good Hope, and now for the last 9 years and 10 months past of S. F., Cal., declare and proclaim myself Emperor of this Noisebridge; and in virtue of the authority thereby in me vested, do hereby order and direct the representatives of the different States of the Union to assemble in the Hacktorium, of this Noisebridge, on the 26th day of March. next, then and there to make such alterations in the existing laws of Noisebridge as may ameliorate the evils under which the hackerspace is laboring, and thereby cause confidence to exist, both at home and abroad, in our stability and integrity.

It is represented to us that the universal suffrage, as now existing through Noisebridge, is abused; that fraud and corruption prevent a fair and proper expression of the public voice; that open violation of the laws are constantly occurring, caused by mobs, parties, factions and undue influence of political sects; that the citizen has not that protection of person and property which he is entitled to by paying his pro rata of the expense of Consenso--in consequence of which, WE do hereby abolish consensus, and it is therefore abolished; and WE order and desire the representatives of all parties interested to appear at the Hacktorium, of this Noisebridge, on the 26th day of March, and then and there take the most effective steps to remedy the evil complained of.
