<!-- best practices for meeting notes template.
#1 copy the template to the correct date for the upcoming meeting
#2 edit the meeting notes date to reflect the date of the meeting
#3 edit the meeting number to reflect the nth meeting of Noisebridge  
#4 (wish all this was programmatic!)
#5 this page often 'dead-ends' and is consequently difficult to navigate usefully.  Add and update links in the meeting notes template as necessary to make the notes more dynamic and useful for all

Note-taker: Danny O'Brien
== HOWTO moderate a meeting ==


Moderator: Leif
Anyone can moderate the meeting, though it helps a great deal if you have been to meetings before.


=== Introduction and Names ===
0. '''Say "Five minutes to meeting!".''' This will give you time to read these instructions.
Leif, Al (he wrote a book!), Laura, Quirk, Danny, Claudia, Jon, Kelly, Andy, Mike, Jack, John, Shannon, Glenn(?), Dean(?), Other Rachel, and Other Other Rachel.
 
1. Get someone to '''grab the membership binder'''. It is kept near the shrine, which is currently on the south wall, between the electronics and sewing areas.
 
2. '''Get someone to take notes.''' Point the shocked and bemused note-taker to the sub-instructions below these instructions.
 
3. (Optional) '''Get someone to put this wiki page up on the projector'''.
 
4. Skim '''read through the Agenda''' below that to get a feel for what a meeting will looks like.
 
5. People may have added '''Discussion Items''' to this page, or they may raise them during the meeting. If they emerge during the meeting, suggest that they be discussed _in_ the Discussion Item section, rather than derail other sections of the meeting. Discussion for these can be open-ended, but you should aim to wrap up the meeting within an hour. It can be handy to explicitly summarise what people intend to do as a result of the discussion. There is no requirement on you, Noisebridge the organization, or anyone else to do anything as a result of a discussion item.
 
6. If there are '''Consensus Items''', ensure that they were raised in meeting last week (the membership needs a week's warning for consensus items). Your main job in consensus is to listen to what everyone is saying, make sure everyone gets a chance to say something, and then -- if the debate is beginning to go round in circles or settle -- propose a Position that everyone seems to agree on. If people disagree with the Position, they will wrangle some more, or someone else will propose a Position. If no-one disagrees with the Position, say "So do we consense on $POSITION?". If no one objects, ask the note-taker to record the Position. If things are getting nowhere and we're all getting bored and antsy, identify the people objecting, and ask them to discuss the problem with the proposers of Consensus Item outside the meeting, and return next week with a compromise solution.
 
7. '''Shout "Meeting starts now!" now''', and start reading (out loud) through the Agenda!
 
8. '''When you are done, consult with the note-taker,''' and make sure they know what they have to do to finish their job -- especially updating the wiki, and mailing nb-discuss, and the treasurer with new membership details.
 
9. '''Put back the membership binder''' by the Shrine.
 
10. '''Bathe in the glow''' of the respect of your fellow Noisebridgers.
 
 
=== HOWTO note-take a meeting ===
 
0. Your moderator should give you five minutes to '''read these instructions'''. If they don't, say "Woah there cowboy, I need to know what I'm doing. Five minutes, por favor!". Use exactly those words.
 
1. This page should have a URL like "https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Meeting_Notes_2010_12_28", with today's year, month and date in it. If doesn't, copy [Meeting Notes Template] to a wiki page with that kind of URL. If you don't know how to copy wiki pages, say, "Can someone help me with the Noisebridge Wiki?", and get them to create a page with that kind of URL, and then show you how to copy this page to it and edit it.
 
2. '''Edit this page.''' Add notes under each category -- you can delete any placeholder explanatory text as you go.
 
3. '''Save the wiki page when you're done''' (no-one expects you to finish as the meeting is finished; it usually takes a half-hour or so after the meeting to get everything in order). Try to hyperlink stuff that should be linked. You can delete all this patronising instructional crap. Here's [Meeting_Notes_2010_12_28 an example] of a finally edited meeting.
 
4. '''Create a page for next week's meeting''', by copying over [[Meeting Notes Template]] to an URL with next week's date in it (see step 1). If anybody proposed Consensus Items for next week, write them in here, and add them to the [[Current Consensus Items]].
 
5. If there were any consensus items decided at your meeting, '''add them to [[Consensus Items History]], and take them out of the [[Current Consensus Items]]'''.
 
6. Go to [https://www.noisebridge.net/&action=edit&section=3 the front page meetings notice] and edit the page that ''so that the Prev and Next meetings now point to this meeting notes, and the new meeting notes you just created respectively'''. (If that link is broken, it's a section half-way down the [[https://www.noisebridge.net/ front page]]
 
7. '''Important!''' Send a final copy of the notes to '''noisebridge-discuss''', and '''email treasurer@noisebridge.net the details of any new members''' (you can get all the details from the membership binder, which may now be hidden over by the shrine.)

8. Chill out, have a cocktail with a friendly robot, continue to rock the world.


=== Announcements ===
== Agenda ==
Polling for the board election was announced.


=== Financial Report ===
[https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Category:Meeting_Notes The XXXth Meeting of Noisebridge]
Noisebridge has $18,215 in the bank, more than our 3 month safety.
We received (roughly, as of today) $3280 in dues, and $305 in donations this month so far.


=== Membership Binder ===
Note-taker: FIXME YOUR NAME HERE


There is a new binder! The old binder now has actual members in it, the new binder has people who are going through the membership process.
Moderator: FIXME THEIR NAME HERE
   
   
Lots of people going through the membership process, including people who used to be members, resigned, and now want to be members again.


[[User:Jack]] was up for membership. He shoots! He scores! [[User:Jack]] is now a member of Noisebridge. He pulled the following face:
=== Introduction and Names ===
* [[Noisebridge_Vision|What Noisebridge is about]]: "Noisebridge is a 501c3 nonprofit that provides a space for creation, collaboration, and learning about technology and creative projects. Noisebridge provides space, power tools, and infrastructure to help the public learn new skills and create cool things. Noisebridge continues to exist through and depends entirely on membership fees and donations. Our code of conduct is 'Be excellent to each other'."
* Round of introductions: What's your name, what do you do, and if you are new, how did you hear about Noisebridge? Start with the moderator and go left.
* [[Consensus Process|A brief primer on consensus process]]: We agree and so should you! Only paid-up members can block consensus.

Question: Do the weekly activities listed at Meeting actually happen regularly?
=== Membership Binder ===
 
* Read off any names from the binder for the past month.
Answer: Generally, yes, although people have slowly been starting up after the vacation. If you turn up to something and there's no-one there, please post to nb-discuss and make a note on the wiki, so we know to nudge someone and eventually remove it from the list.
* Anyone up for join this week should introduce themselves then leave the area in search of gifts (traditionally beer and a lime) for the rest of the group. The rest of the meeting should consense on whether they may join.
* [User:Jbm] wants to become a member (for a second time) this week, even if he's not able to make the meeting.


Question: Can we move that pile of crap by the elevator?
=== What's Going On at Noisebridge ===
''One '''short''' sentence about each of the following:''


Answer: The pile of crap by the elevator is stuff to be taken to the dump. There is a communal sense that somebody is coming to get it, and take it to the dump in mid-February. If others wish to take part or all of it to the dump or anywhere else before then, that is fine.
===== Weekly =====
