== Patrick's Membership == Josh - Are you a terrorist? Patrick - No. Kevin - How long have you been coming to Noisebridge? Patrick - I first started coming around a few times in 2013, before the reboot I dropped in a dozen times or so, sometime in the beginning of June I started to be around a bunch more Nthmost - What happens when Noisebridge goes into maintenence mode? Patrick - Yea, I'll stick around. Before the reboot, folks were stopping by to just use the space like a desk, it wasn't a great atmosphere. Its a different place now with a community. Kevin - Why do you want to become a member? Patrick - I said a couple of meetings ago I saw membership more as a stewardship. I see it as a way to more formally in my own mind solidify that stewardship and to keep the space excellent. Nthmost - Does that mean we can call you patrick stewart? Patrick - Yes of course! RAYC - What are your thoughts on the consensus process at Noisebridge? Patrick - Does anyone fully understand consensus? I think its a great way for communities - not for corporations, - but for communitites. It requires the goodwill of participants. It isn't something you should enter into while being at arms with each other. Its a break from the default world of majority vote since everyone's voice is heard; it leads to more thought about what is being proposed. If it was majority vote and 51% of the folks said it was pretty cool, you'll never be shown the other side of things. Nthmost - What do you suppose is the best approach to keeping the good community vibes going while those with bad mojo arrive? Patrick - I think its an issue of reducing the noise at the earliest point. Noisebridge is sensitive to entropy. We need people leading by example. Prior to the reboot there wasn't much of a feeling of people feeling empowered to stop bad things happening at the space. It only takes a few people stepping up to show that you can effect change in the space. The best way to keep the good feel is to do that. The community should be protected at the edges; take drama offline, out of the meetings, mitigated between the parties involved. RAYC - If there were people with characteristics who were causing trouble at the space, would you group them together or take it case-by-case basis? Patrick - Noisebridge is a very varied place. Guilt by association doesn't work here, it needs to be case-by-case. RAYC - If someone looks like someone shifty... Patrick - Everyone has a shot at being a part of Noisebridge. Not everyone is welcome at noisebridge, but everyone is welcome to walk through the door and see if it works Torrie - What makes you happy? Patrick - Getting to work on awesome stuff with awesome people. Being an individual is not fun, being part of a community is a lot more fun when you can share. Already I've learned a bunch of things I was ignorant to 6 months ago. That really puts a smile on my face and is why I keep coming back. ~~DISCUSSION~~ Nthmost - This is the most members we've had at a meeting in forever. I like his answers, he's got the right concepts about community Torrie - He helped out a bunch with the reboot, flooring, etc. He's nifty. RAYC - Two things he was part of or contributed to that will have a tremendous net positive impact on the space are the SSWG and the documentation working group. I'm totally for documentation. Nthmost - I have a good picture of him completing the punch-down process in the wiring closet. He was pivotal in getting the ethernet run. I think it speaks to his persistence. RAYC - I also met patrick when the networking was getting punched down. I encountered a problem with one of the ports and told him about it. The next day, he was fixing it up. John - I have a nice thing to say about him. At the hackathon he said he was thinking of getting euler's identity as a tattoo. '''Consensed: Yes'''
