= 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. ** You can block a new member without a big discussion. == [[ Consensus Items History | Proposals from last week ]] == No items for consensus right now. == [[ Current Consensus Items | Proposals for next week ]] == None. == Discussion Items == * Question: I did the helicopter event here a year ago. I get calls from Discovery asking about it. I try to bring them here to video it. I usually ask for a release form and ask Mitch. * Torrie: Contact secretary@noisebrige.net. * John: There's a chance that Noisebridge could get a $15-20K grant and we should discuss a grant spending decision process. From discussions from people so far, there's interest in amping up infrastructure with people around here. Improving the electronics, sewing, workshop, etc., * Torrie: I have been at a hackerspace before where grant money appeared out of nowhere. We discussed fixing up infrastructure. We delegated that to a fractal working group of infrastucture wonks to figure out the list of things that needed fixing and what would be nice to have beyond that. Another idea we had was hacker grants. We had a $15K grant and we wanted to do $500-$1000 grants each month like Awesome Foundation to help projects that benefit the hackerspace in a way. As long as it benefits the space the grant could be given to them to run with it. The grants might have rules or strings. * John: The granter was one of the founders of the Awesome foundation who wanted us to do something like the subgrants. * Torrie: It might be responsible for NB to have everyone together with vegan pizza to come up with the list of broken things, thi * Alex: We could do a second grant plan for buying a building. * Torrie: sometimes small grants like this are an opportunity to demonstrate that we do something really effective with a small one to prove that we could handle bigger grants in the future. * J: We could design an interactive badge that could be worked on at multiple events and . Ultimately, we want to go beyond basic circuit hacking monday to have people to teach multiple types of classes to expand. * Ely: In regards to discussion over pizza and beer, we could talk about formulating an exit strategy for the grant money usage to demonstrate what we did with the money to go show grantwriter what we did with it. That way we present a grant use summary of how we used the money and clearly show what we did so they can tabulate that into future grant decisions. What David was saying about education component carries a lot of weight. There was at least one parent at Marshall who worked at Google who gives us a bus to do a family camping trip. Reaching out to a school in close vicinity, we would have parents who know what we provide for their kids. A great thing to add * Alex: Two things: Ther have been some schools that have worked with us before. We can contact them as our points of contact in the community. We could get filmmakers to document it. * Torrie: Everyone write down email addresses and give it to John. * John: Saturday. * Torrie: Come Saturday with infrastructure improvements ideas. Show up Saturday. 2PM. * David: If you're trying to get money, organizations pay attention to the buzz and news about us like social media. Getting good publicity can help them make a decision. I'm good with social media buzz generation. * J: That reminds me: Doocracy. If it is excellent, mention it to a couple people and just do it. If any important discussion happens, it should be happening after forward progress is made during consensus.
