Is there anything new happening at the space?

=== Consensus items ===
Is there anything that has stopped happening at the space?


Consensus for [[Noisebridge Tor | NoiseTor]]:
=== Financial Report ===
Funds in bank:  


Kelly asks if Rachel's questions are answered. Kelly is concerned whether our insurance might not cover it.


It was felt that Rachel might oppose this, so the decision was postponed.
=== Membership Binder ===
* Read off any names from the binder for the past month. Write a check on every open application.
* Anyone up for joining this week (ie have four checks by their name + have two sponsors) 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.


=== Financial Report ===
=== Consensus items ===
 
Funds in bank: $17,890.31 -- still not 3 months ahead, but doing okay.
 
Xero has a bug in it which is missing paypal payments, so we've not been reconciling correctly (Xero has missed the payments, so while our balance is correct, and paypal reflects the payments, our accounts don't show it).


We should rearrange our financial system to take into account separate sub-projects.
''(Add any new items for consensus to the [[Current_Consensus_Items|Current Consensus Items]] page.)''


=== Discussion Items ===
=== Discussion Items ===


Offer of facilities management stuff from Ariel.
* Update on last week's brainstorming.
 
* Will's cleaning mission?
Tastebridge -- now has a ledger by their donations box. Getting donations, receiving donations. Going for a $500 pledge, and looking for $500 maybe from NB once that pledge is met.
* The case of the mysterious Rinpoche.
 
Kelly points for 501(c)3 stuff to magically work, they need to give us a record of how much money was being collected.
 
John asks if people move on from NB projects to do commercial projects, is that problematic? (General answer: no)
 
John talks about heavy machining connecting electronics. Recommended to join the fab list.


Carl is upset about the couch removal (some weeks ago). Carl would like to see discussion before removal of couches. It's unknown who removed the couch in question and whether or not it was the "maybe bedbugs" couch from some weeks ago.
