Currently our domain and subsequent hosting does not belong to Noisebridge but belongs to certain individuals, which means access is very limited.

Proposal: Transfer ownership of Noisebridge.net, it's hosting and everything along with it to Noisebridge's control. This would promote more open access and collaboration to let the community decide what to do with the website and be more in lines of our values of openness and ownership.

Very brief primer on Noisebridge consensus process[edit]

There is a consensus process.  Ask three people what they think the consensus process is and that's the consensus process.  This procedure is intended to get new members to talk to people so we can get to know one another.

Agenda Items[edit]

Transferring the Noiseridge.net domain and everything with it over to Noisebridge's control.

Currently our domain and subsequent hosting does not belong to Noisebridge but belongs to certain individuals, which means access is very limited. Several people over time have requested to have more access to the backend of the website in order to do things such as upgrade our wiki software or install a calendar plugin but their requests have fallen on deaf ears.

Proposal: Transfer ownership of Noisebridge.net, it's hosting and everything along with it to Noisebridge's control. This would promote more open access and collaboration to let the community decide what to do with the website and be more in lines of our values of openness and ownership.

Membership binder[edit]
