= Membership = * Rayc - Membership is this thing where you can become a member, which requires dues that help keep the lights on ($40, $80 depending). What you get? The ability to partake in the consensus process fully. Large items get discussed for 2 weeks in a consensus process. The final decision yes/no is for members only. It's a commitment to NB. * John - You don't have to be a member to {throw event, host a class, anything else}. * Steve - There's been a lot of discussion about Membership the last few months? What's the deal w/ applying for membership these days. * Torrie - Associate Membership is dead! Long live Associate Membership (don't talk about it) * Emerson - What's the deal w/ Associate Membership? Why'd it go? * Torrie - It's a consensus item to revoke it. When we have a quorum we'll get rid of it. * John - Folks in the binder: Torrie Fischer. Sponsors: Mitch, Monad. <- insert statement here ->. Week 4. Consensus this week!? * (John's the sole member here - Wait or no? Kinda weird?) Yay / Nay: want to me a member? * Torrie - I was born ~25 years ago in OH. I lived south of Cleveland for a time in Akron. Got kicked out of CS dept for "hacking". Started a Hackerspace after visiting NB. Moved to SF. I work on cryptocurrency "finance". I used to be a KDE contributor. I'm working on electronics at the moment. * John - Sounds good to me!! * JC - Question: Can you define the type of community standards you'd like to see NB members held to? * Torrie - I like people being respectful to each other. Excellence to me is respecting the space, each other, being kind and gentle towards each other. A few examples of disrespecting the space would be climbing the front gate after waiting at the door, coming in and dismantling infrastructure without reason or understanding, claiming that you have special rights to a space that is "yours", not "ours". Knowing when it's a good time to step up and step back. If you're very skilled in something and someone approaches you saying I know better how to do this step back and not be upset about it. * J - Having spent a lot of time in the space, knowing what NB is about. What one thing would you change about the space? * Torrie - I WANT THE ELECTRICIANS TO BE FUCKING DONE WITH THEIR SHIT. CAN I FIRE THEM?!!/1//! Having more excellent people here. Getting old-time members back and getting the space back to the inspirational space that made me fork NB. * Rayc - In the past, post BACH, if someone were to block, it'd mean someone being that passionate about a thing that they'd leave NB over it. Hypothetical: You're in a discussion and you're not a fan of the proposal. How would you engage in consensus ? * Torrie - A functional community shouldn't need blocks. Everyone should be in sync over things. If it came to that I'd recognize that I want to block something because something is fundamentally broken. I'd want to discuss it with the group, I'd explain the reason for my block, and that it's a problem that my blocking even exists. Then take it outside the meeting and figure out more clearly what the core issue that causes me to want to block something is. * Rayc - So the existence of a block by you would signal a problem? Would you try to mediate first? * Torrie - I'd not block without an alternative proposal. I'd take a week max to figure it out and take my block back if I couldn't find a suitable one. *** Torrie steps out to find more beer *** *** Cheering for Torrie *** * Steve - She put her all into building the space. If she leaves we're fucked * Rayc - I went over the steps for making a 3d printed case and I might have shorted and broken the components. Her solution: ordered new kit which is even better * J - A person that loves a place like NB demonstrates it by contributing to the space, by helping it grow. Torrie has left a huge infuence here. * John - Patrick is taking notes. He's also in the binder. <== insert patrick's statement here ==> Sponsors: Mitch, Naomi. Week 3. * Rayc - membership binder is over beside the door. Hang out at NB for a while, get to know the people, ethos and space. If after a while you want to apply for membership then fill out a form in the binder. After that there's a 4 week process where you need 2 members in good standing to sign off on your membership.
