last night (sunday) as the last of us were getting ready to leave after a long day of BACH, i noticed that Pidgeon was sitting alone in CCL<br>
with headphones in and using a laptop.<br>
<br>
[pidgeon prefers the pronoun "they" but it is a single person]<br>
<br>
knowing that this person made trouble at noisebridge in the past, and assuming that they were trying to squat the omni, i went up and gave<br>
notice that "we are getting ready to leave and close up" and Pidgeon took the hint and started packing up their backpack...<br>
<br>
twenty minutes later pidgeon was still slowly gathering things together to get ready to leave.. it was annoyingly obvious that they were<br>
trying to delay leaving so that I would leave first and they could stay.<br>
<br>
tonight, Korl mentioned that Pidgeon was present but did not seem to be anyone's guest, and I agreed that they were here without anyone's<br>
sponsorship of any kind. A person with no member-sponsor present can be asked to leave for no reason, but before doing that I went to speak<br>
with others present about the situation.<br>
<br>
No one present claimed Pidgeon as their guest, or objected to asking them to leave. I mentioned this to marc and started posting the<br>
following to irc:<br>
<a href="https://www.noisebridge.net/pipermail/noisebridge-discuss/2014-February/042456.html" target="_blank">https://www.noisebridge.net/<u></u>pipermail/noisebridge-discuss/<u></u>2014-February/042456.html</a><br>
<a href="https://www.noisebridge.net/pipermail/noisebridge-discuss/2013-October/039972.html" target="_blank">https://www.noisebridge.net/<u></u>pipermail/noisebridge-discuss/<u></u>2013-October/039972.html</a><br>
<br>
a minute later marc returned from a "sweep" of the building and found Pidgeon in a downstairs room with the door pulled shut, getting<br>
comfortable, lying on their belly listening to music.<br>
<br>
Marc asked if they were part of a collective, Pidgeon said they were not, and Marc said that we are not open to the public and asked them to<br>
leave.<br>
<br>
please be aware that people are already trying to squat the omni and it will only get more intense. I have no patience for this because I<br>
feel that the omni is more valuable to us as a community space, shared for all, rather than a big building to be turned into private quarters<br>
for the few who care little enough about their community to do something like that.<br>
<br>
Noisebridge regularly has problems with people sleeping on top of the elevator, above the loft areas, and in the basement of the building, and<br>
their building is not nearly as cavernous and expansive as ours.<br>
