[hackerspaces] In defense of Noisebridge (even if I was never there!)

[Paul Bohm]

Noisebridge is one particular space with one particular culture, not a
reflection of Hacker/Maker/US/EU or anything else. That at least is my
perception after having seen many different spaces and organizational
models: They don't categorize neatly by continent or nomenclature.

It's also become clear (especially around Noisebridge) that there are
different mutually exclusive audiences that like to share space. So if you
can't stand the only space in your neighborhood, maybe others feel the same
way and it's really time to start a new one.

In that sense I think Naomi's got it right with her argument for
hackerspace diversity.
