Current plans

Activities

Sidewalk astronomy

Leader: Elan (Elan). We'll bring out the blue Meade telescope in the upstairs hackitorium

Silent auction

Confirmed auction items:

  • Handmade natural soap embossed with the Noisebridge logo (by Misstencil)
  • Hand-decorated alternate flyer—marker on riso print (by Romy, but fareycircles will bring it to the party). Minimum bid $15?

Potential auction items:

  • Handmade silk kimono (ElleWrites)

Graphic design

This repository contains the source files for the flyers (directed by ElleWrites and designed by fareycircles, with feedback from [chatbot] and weekly meeting attendees). We'd like to use the same visual identity for event swag; EigenVexer is looking into that.

Flyers

Flyers have been posted in:

  • Sudo Room (fareycircles; left some flyers at the entranace of Omni Commons too)

  • Museum of Craft and Design (Elan)

  • Hacker Dojo

  • Queerious Labs
  • Ace Makerspace

  • Google makerspace (?)
  • DorkbotSF / Heron Arts (one of the orgs that spinned off to form Noisebridge)

Old plans

NB15 will be Noisebridge's big 15th anniversary. NB14 was conducted as a sort of dry run of an NB10-style 3 day weekend event to galvanize greater Event Support readiness and figure out what we can improve on to make our 15th better staffed and planned.

  • WHEN: October 1 2023 or nearabouts according to the Oral_histories of founding 83C Oct 1 in 2008.

We'll host it as our Halloween party too.

  • Oct 1st - work party. Prep & plan.
  • Halloween party near end of month.

Ideas for NB15

  • Get each area of NB to start planning something ahead of time to showcase

Laser Guild

  • DIYCE: Laser cut oodles of diyce. Intended as an approachable puzzle for people to solve, assemble, and take home. -Gaardn

Textile Wizards

Electronics

Blueprinting! Learn the 1840s art of using uv-reactive cyanotype and designs drawn on vellum paper to make your own schematics, artsy or otherwise! -Gaardn

Goals for NB15

  • A focus on participation and membership growth over our 14th year with an aim to surpass our pre-move pre-COVID activity level highs manifested in high participation in the planning of N15 like we saw with NB10.

Lessons for NB15

  • Have all volunteer positions clearly defined and delegated well in advance with each responsible volunteer group taking ownership of their part of the event, such as:
    • Press: Invite press that have covered NB events before to participate. Prepare some good press info for them to cover.
    • Outreach: Hit up all our electronic lists. Poster nearby streets with small poster-flyers.
    • 5MoF: Solicit pre-planned talks of high quality. Get all their slides submitted in advance if possible.
    • HackComedy:
    • Music: Prepare a lineup of suitable musical performers and DJs.
