= Consensus and Discussion = * '''invite a knowledgeable volunteer to give '''[[Consensus Process|a brief primer on consensus process]] * It is important that everyone in attendance understands at least: ** Blocking with verbalized principled objections. ** Why we use consensus over other approaches to decision making. ** How consensus isn't a legislative process ** Why consensus isn't applicable to some things like conflict resolution, resolution of time sinks, and the like. == [[ Consensus Items History | Proposals from last week ]] == ''(Add any items which are consensed upon or someone has raised a principle objection for to the [[Consensus Items History]] page.)'' == [[ Current Consensus Items | Proposals for next week ]] == ''(Add any new items for consensus to the [[Current Consensus Items]] page.)'' == Discussion Items == === Laser cutter repair === * Zach: Laser cutter and e-waste. Henner and I are working on it. We looked at it and found it had some missing parts. It was one of our most popular items in the space. Someone may have taken parts to sabotage it. Originally we thought it needs a new bulb and Mitch bought an expensive one. Mitch should still get reimbursed for it. Tip of the iceberg. The power board is not working. There was random metal in there We need to keep it from being opened and fed sandwiches. A controller board is missing. There is a board that communicates. There is a board but not a second one that's missing. I looked on ebay but nobody lists laser cutter stuff. * Q: Would it be cheaper to replace it? * Zach: I don't think so but its hard to know without information about it. The controller board serial I don't know. Henner might hack one he has at home and make a board. The bulb has been replaced. There's a power board and one that communicates via USB. There's one board missing. Maybe mosfets and power. Alex: WHO DID THIS? Zach: Theories abound. Sid. Wouldn't doubt he would and he knew how it worked. He knew how to remove these things. Not many people would know how to remove that and sabotage it over time. Dan: Sid's in jail. Alex: Could Sudo's laser cutter be similar and help us learn about ours? Zach: Possible but chinese manufacturings change each cycle and year and the case could look the same but the guts could be 90% the same and have a different part or rearrangement. Given the lack of a brand we can call and ask, its tricky. There is a model on it though for the notes: MLE-40 www.jnmydy.com Revision 6.0 If we could get ahold of the company and had to buy it, I'd be surprised if there were any parts but they couldn't likely charge more than $300. It cost to make under $20. * ?: I have a key to Noisebridge. I don't know where it should go. === Ableton pad * Dor: I'd like to leave an Ableton music control pad at Nosiebridge for the class. I might want to take it back later down the road. * Torrie: It is a public space so anybody can do their noisebridge the way they do it. * Alex: We can see if it fits in the locker at Noisebridge. === EWASTE * Zach: People brought a haul of e-waste. We just got rid of some and I brought some and I want to take more action in helping organize e-waste management. I have some suggestions in mind. There are some really positive things we get from the donations we get. So many people have benefitted from it in the space. It has been neat to meet people in the space who need something and we have what they're looking for then they want to get more involved with the community. The donations we have are one of the main reasons I come here. I have a stake in that different than others who code. * ?: As someone who did some e-waste hauling, suggestion: If 4 computers are amongst things you're recycling, they'll take the rest for free. We can have a wheelie cart with 4 computers + a budget for ewaste. When the cart fills up we wheel it off then. If we had bigger wheeled cart it would go down the street better. * Zach: What do people think. * Dan: Identify a problem with a cultural solution: People going through the ewaste thinking that that's what we're here for. It runs the risk of being a tweaker magnet. That's a serious cost concern, balaned by the benefit of helping people out. It brings people in who harsh the vibe and add stress to people. Maybe some adjustment to the culture like "here's a notebook in this locker that you can use for projects. It's like leaving food out, food is good but it takes some stewardship. Solveable but needs to be addressed. Zach: Thanks for bringing that up, it was discussed on list. I want to bring up positives too. Even something as simple as "don't take things to sell", Guidelines for people coming into the space. Sketchy people coming in brought sketchy folks. Dan: We'ere becoming aware of it when Zach: It's part of a larger problem. Zach: Alex: Could we move the ewaste out of sight such as with a curtain over it unless participants know where to look for it? Zach: The best waste spot we had was the corner in the back with shelves. Curtain could be a good idea. Trent: Recapping ideas from mail. Somebody suggested we have an incoming shelf for processing of new stuff. Get and process quick. Idea 2: Incorporate hack shelves into the electronics area. We could do categorizations. Dan: We could use signage to advise people on how to donate and use ewaste excellently. It has been a concern and a source of stress. Zach: Its amazing that we can get laptops fixed.
