= [[ Membership Binder ]] = * [[membership]] and the application process: * Membership has morphed over the years, but we're still, above all, an anarchist space. So if someone walks in and asks "who's in charge here?!" we all laugh! * We have several levels of belongingness that demonstrate commitment to the space. Capital-M Membership is a process of ratifying that you're part of community, we've gotten to know you, you know the ins and outs of the space, doocracy, what consensus is and how it functions, and we have a level of mutual trust in your ability to be a steward of the space, both physically and community-wise. * We also have a philanthropist level which is almost the same as membership in terms of belonging and contributing and taking responsibility for the space. * Philanthropy level is easier to attain: It takes 1 member to ratify your philanthropist application as your sponsor. It is easy to cancel a philanthropy member by design because the process is short. * By comparison, membership is more slow because membership is harder to undo and full participation in Consensus is the privilege of Membership! (You have the ability to block a consensus item if you feel it compromises Noisebridge values.) We haven't had to use consensus very often lately which is good. * To become a Member, we require 4 weeks of you having application in the membership binder with sponsorship signatures of 2 other full members. We read your name aloud at meetings (though you don't need to be present each meeting). Ideally, to successfully become a Member, your name should be at least fairly well known, i.e. you don't want the whole room going, "who TF is that?" * After 4 weeks, you attend the meeting and we discuss your membership, and you leave the room while we decide, and if we consense you become a full M Member. * We have 28 or 30 philanthropists! * Important point: You don't need to be a Member or Philanthropist to participate, teach a class, or donate money! <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> * No applicants!
