These are the notes from the The 280th Meeting of Noisebridge. Note-taker: Kevin; Moderator: Jarrod.

  • One or two bullet points of high-level meeting summary.

Short announcements and events[edit]

Financial Report[edit]

Consensus items[edit]

Proposals from last week [edit]

  • James S. create formal process for reentry into community (not present, deferred)

Proposals for next week [edit]

  • Robert proposes a person must have at least a minimum of one active project to be at Noisebridge

We can already do this.
Homeless camp-out at 5/6:00. Felt alone in wanting everyone to leave.
Rooster brigade was effective. Came at 5/7:00 and asked folks to leave.
What does Robert mean "do nothing"? Folks sleep here after exhausting themselves hacking. Focus on being caring.
Noisebridge == stupid science club, not trying to solve classism. Hacking/not hacking infrastructure problem.
Noisebridge != squat.
Need clarification on what 'a project' entails.
Is cleaning a project? Taking out the garbage?

  • Pidgeon proposes to ban Dru from Noisebridge until there can be a confirmation that he does not jeopardize Noisebridge as a safespace

Andrew accused of sexual assault and not banned. Allegedly molested two people. Possibly witnessed one instance. Many people have left because of this.
Cannot make an informed decision without knowing what happened.
There was a massage that happened in the Hack-a-tor-ium.
Lillian emailed Dru very recently, Dru read email out loud.
Failure mode of Noisebridge, people don't come to Noisebridge because they feel physically harassed when they come here. Need a better way to deal with this. Other hackerspaces have a harassment procedure, statement of values, etc....
