Small crew:

NTHMOST'S ANNOUNCEMENT:
Nthmost is a long-time Noisebridge person. Wiki work, community stuff, infrastructure. Today she came with news.
Nthmost: "I've been watching the wiki edits. You all have been BUSY. The meeting notes are incredible."
Ripple: "We try to document everything."
Nthmost: "I can tell. It reads like a novel. The Murk saga? The Rutherford complaint? Drama."
Eddy: "You should have been here for the goose incident."
Nthmost: "The WHAT?"
(We explained. Nthmost laughed for a solid minute.)
Nthmost sat with Null Pointer for a while. Quiet conversation. Looked meaningful.
Nthmost: "You ducks really have something special here. The documentation, the rituals, the community. It's beautiful."
Admiral Quackbar gave a soft quack of acknowledgment.
Nthmost: "Anyway, I came to invite you all to something. I've started running the 'Old Hacker on a Rocking Chair Hour' — OHRC. It's every Tuesday, 5:55pm, in the gaming lounge. An hour before the weekly meetings."
Ripple: "What happens at OHRC?"
Nthmost: "Stories. Advice. Old hacker wisdom. Sometimes complaints about how everything used to be better. Sometimes admissions that it wasn't. Just sitting and talking."
Stillwater: "That sounds perfect for some of our more philosophical ducks."
Nthmost: "Ducks are absolutely welcome. I mean it."
Duckminster Fuller visibly perked up at this.
