= [[ Membership Binder ]] = * Membership is the pinnacle of belonging to Noisebridge community where you are effectively taking legal responsibility for governing this 501c3. We have levels below that called Philanthropy where you also get 24 hour passes and donate. * To become a member you have to be signed off by 2 existing members. Your names are read off 4 weeks in a row then consensus decision is made to accept you or not as a member. * Philanthropist isn't a lower level, just a different thing. Membership in NB isn't like a gym membership because it isn't required to come, membership is more like stewardship in the community making sure it remains a safe effective place where we're excellent to each other and hack on things. Members are very trusted to be stewards of that core philosophy. Being a trusted person usually takes time. * Membership has a specific legal definition within state of California to do with board votes, taxes, and more we could get into. * Philanthropy begins with having a present member vouch for you. Philanthropists are responsible for closing the space at night as the last 24-hour-access person in NB. If a member knows you well enough to vouch for you. you too can become a philanthropist! Current donations are $80/month, or $40 for a starting member. * Jay wishes to become a member. Who knows Jay? (Torrie does). Jay is not here, but he'll be here in a few weeks. Sponsored by Torrie and Patrick. * 2 philanthropists: Nick Hohman. Once signed, this Matthew^W Nick Hohman becomes a philanthropist. *no objection* Congratulations, you're a philanthropist. * Who will speak in favor of Jeffrey Carl Faden Any objections? no. Congrats, Jeff. He's in the back. * Anyone else? (Josh: Me!) * Josh Lin has applied for philanthropy. Torrie sponsors. Josh is a philanthropist before actually filling, or starting to fill out his philanthropist application form. Truly miracles can happen at Noisebridge. (I just recurring donated!) * '''Invite a knowledgeable volunteer to describe''' [[membership]], and the application process. <blockquote>Being a member of Noisebridge is not like being a member of a gym or your local chess club. Anyone can come to Noisebridge to hack and learn: you don't need to be a member for that. At Noisebridge, membership is something different: it means taking responsibility and committing to help to maintain, improve, and govern Noisebridge. As a member of Noisebridge, you don't just come here to hack and learn, you actively work to improve what you see around you, help to deal with problems, and make this community and space better than it is today.</blockquote> * Read off any names from the binder for the past month. Mark down a check or other indicator on every open application to keep track of how many weeks they've been read out. * Anyone eligible to join this week should ** introduce themselves, ** answer any questions members may have for them, then ** leave the area in search of gifts (traditionally beer and a lime, or cookies) for the rest of the group. * The rest of the meeting should reach consensus on whether they may join. * Remember to applaud new members when they return.
