=== Announcements === * Freddy wants to start a SQL class for anyone interested - lots of people are interested in data and wants to share his knowledge * Charlie - the camera was not working in the front. They helped set it up - if the camera stops, try jiggling the cable (or re-connecting it) - it can get loose. * Matt - Its not noise bridge releated - but afterhours at the exploriorium this week (Thursday) has a bike related thing going on and has FREE bike valet parking (but is $20, or 45$ for a year of After Dark) * Ben is helping others learn about Wikipedia and Wikimedia; its at the Wikimedia Foundation ( Look up "bay area wiki salon") - its at 6:00 PM - RSVP if possible (on the wikipedia event page) * Pinard(sp?) teaches blockchain things and has an event coming up tomorrow (Wednesday) - come to learn about smart contracts and deploying them on blockchain - what about creating a noisebridge coin? There is one, but we could always have another! There is a lot of potential for fundraising. * Izzy - participates in C / C++ communities - there is a deadline in Colonge for features in C++20-something - She has written 17 papers in very few hours!! Maybe there is a small function that should be part of the standard library - C++ is easier than C but reach out to Izzy if you're interested in doing that / learning. * Michael - (who did the visuals at the gala) - has a bunch of videos on the poliwat youtube channel - he is organizing a show - if you're interested in doing a show/music - in the near future (this month) Discussion topics: - gala update (riley) - we net $3000 after expenses - there are details on discuss ryan menttions a probelem: a lot of people were distracted during the auction e.g. VR is pretty distracting and didn't help the auction per se Next time - lets try to keep people more focused somehow? We didn't have high level unique investors - we're hoping to find people who can really help noisebridge out financially A lot of the bids were from other people at noisebridge; where our rich snobs/VC/philanthropic people at !? We need you! Freddy asks about donatation box by the VR station (just a thought) That can be problematic because people thing they're dontating to a VR thing but it might be more needed for the space in general Charlie: the gala vibe was a party-esque thing but maybe we can ask for more general donations It wasn't incredibly focused on fundrasing - but maybe that is ok that isn't sterotypical? Overall, Ryan mentions it didn't feel all the way right Ben was asking about what has been done in the past. Matt mentions a group that does some of the fundraising together (which includes Ryan) RAISE BILLIONS BABY - New space (real estate) Lease runs out in august -New Home!
