Noisebridge is an anarchistic maker and hackerspace located in San Francisco. It is inspired by the European hackerspaces Metalab in Vienna and c-base in Berlin. Noisebridge describes itself as "a space for sharing, creation, collaboration, research, development, mentoring, and learning".[1] Outside of its headquarters, Noisebridge forms a wider international community.[2] It was organized in 2007 and has had permanent facilities since 2008.[3]
