Congratulations and/or condolences! You're reading this because you're participating in a meeting of Noisebridge!
Shane - 2nd time here, I'm an engineer and I made a cnc machine once


Meetings should be limited to an hour when possible. Shorter is fine, but avoid rushing.
Chris - biochem no computers *eyes glaze over*


You should read this instructional section thoroughly, and treat them as a guideline for how to host a meeting of Noisebridge. There are three ingredients to an [[Excellent]] meeting: A number of note takers, some facilitators, and participants.
patrick - playz with toys and count NB bucks


Meetings are just one of the tools used at Noisebridge to create net forward progress on whatever it is we're all trying to do. Meetings aren't the only way to make decisions or have discussions, and in fact its usually a much better idea to talk about things outside the meeting before dragging the entire community kicking and screaming into it.
Morris - xchange student from sweeden. it is my first time here


== Note Takers ==
Trent - python & web dev & does consulting with you and your company and teaches python and learning a lot of C
# Confirm last meeting was saved
# Take new notes
# Save and share the notes at the end of the meeting (instructions at the bottom).


== Facilitators ==
Darryl - I teach laser cutting. I do some robotics and AI


There are generally two kinds of facilitator roles at a Noisebridge meeting:
Jarrod - I'm a designer and make things


* Stack taker - Useful when a lot of folks want to hop on the discussion stack. This gives everyone a turn to have their feelings heard. Usually only works when there is exactly one stack taker.
John - I have a beard and do taxes
* Moderators - Keeps the meeting moving and prevents everyone from wasting too much time on one subject. Anyone is free to pick up moderation and move the meeting along.


In general, moderators should:
Alex - gamebridge whatup on tuesdays and we want to make a VR game thing at makerfare
* Understand the structure of Noisebridge [[consensus|decision-making]]
* Make sure everyone gets a chance to speak.
* Speak only minimally yourself.
* Keep the meeting moving, and avoid getting bogged down.
* Identify discussion items, arrange times limits for talking about each item.
* Identify and summarize consensus, suggest things that need to be done.
* '''Get the [[membership binder]] and ensure that it is returned safely.'''


== Participants ==
Quintessa - I don't come here but once a week and want to make a recording studio. I brought a bunch of foam. WHERE IS LEE


Everyone at a Noisebridge meeting who has consented to participating in one is a participant!
Juan - I 3D print and security and in between projects


* Say your name before you talk.
Jeremey - software getting more #AI and got doored by a car
* Remain on-topic, and speak as concisely as possible.
* Assist the note-taker with any links or corrections that are needed.
* Remain respectful of other participants, their time, and the consensus and moderation process.


Steve - theoretical physics and AI and C++. Eat the computers

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.


Jarrod - Membership gives you consenship, keep noisebrige intresting and funtioning , and sort through the diffuclut sitution at noisbrige. members become members through consensus at meetings, it allows you access to voting on big changes at noisebridge
