= Discussion Notes = '''Building Inspection''' Two people made calls on April 8-9th to the building inspector, who came and identified two main hazards. We need to hire a certified electrician to pull a survey and catalog violations. The building inspector was mainly concerned about the circuit in the kitchen and the extension cords in church, primarily. The electrician has to come back with the building inspector to give an official estimate. If we don't do it in 6 months, it will go to the landlord and they will start putting liens on the property. Jarrod is astounded that his wiring of the stove is not up to code ''/sarcasm'' Someone needs to scan the note and send it to the list. Monad things we need to approve a certain amount of money, via consensus to make this happen ASAP. Could be as little as a few thousand or up to 30k. Questions posed: What would an initial consultation cost? Do you need a certified electrician? Answer: The survey itself will cost several thousand, and we need a certified electrician to do both the survey and the work. Adrian tells the cautionary tale of Hacker Dojo, and how quickly it can escalate if we don't do this right the first time. Just because the building inspector seemed happy and only listed two issues don't assume that's all that they will ding you for. We will start by putting a ping on the mailing list about finding an electrician. Jarrod, Sid, Casey, Madelynn are starting working group to make changes happen. '''WORKING GROUP DISCUSSION''' Daravinne does a recap on the meta-working group meeting via her notes. Mitch gave great insight into the genesis of Noisebridge "Tools not rules" Instead of making rules, the tools should be transparent to make the space better. Use the blog, and other things. Lot of good thoughts and ideas. Discussion of the history of the Noisebridge board, James Sundquist talked about the mediation training that Rainbow does, hope is to train some Noisebridge members to train others. James suggested a savior fund, budgeting for working groups. Daravinne is looking into tracking software for working groups, others also had action items. Created a starting list of working groups, particularly for each of the areas. Then there are the intangible issues like "safe-spaces", etc. Stay tuned for email to the list for the next meeting date. The purpose of a working group is to transmit and uphold knowledge, divvy responsibility between a large group of people Couple of recommendations for working groups (from Kevin's notes): mission statement for each working group Casey mention's PS: One in Chicago and their "Area Hosts". Jim (who set up the area hosts at PS: One) talks about the process of setting them up, and how it worked. Area hosts were nominated, and had specific time responsibility (about 8 hrs/week). When they wanted to move on, they were responsible for training someone and nominating another person. Incentive was their membership fee was waved for the month(s). "It is a lot easier to get things done when you're talking face to face rather than a long string of emails." - Jim Burke, from PS: One
