Excellence

Our One Rule is to Be Excellent to Each Other.

(What does that mean? How does the Anti-Harassment Policy fit into this? Are we SURE we know what being Excellent is? This is an important and fundamental conversation at Noisebridge, so let's give it like 120 seconds.)

Discussion

space planning

Discussion Item 1

space planning

Robot- stuff needds to go in the space, then we need to figure out where it goes based on imput from the guilds. What does each grop need. how do we get everyone involved. What things might need to change.

Relay- Can we designat things in VR?

Pyconaut-will 3D model new space in VR over next few weeks.

JD- Lets have a live noisebridge 3D space planning in sketchup

Dan- HHow do we prioritiese the space. First floor has a lot of open space that we can.

First floor is the core are as second floor is not ADA accessible. We have at least 12 spaces we need to allow access to. we need modularity until we can get second floor accessiable. How can we enable that.

Rikke- X already measured the space and posted it online

X- Current priority is moving everything, and we need to pile everything into the new space before we try to plan stuff. Can we break the space up into smaller sections like 500 sqft, and what stuff is most critical to have access to. Lets focus on storage right now.

Upstairs rooms are currently storage of 0-3D printer and gaming 1 sewing and library 2 electronics 3music and audio

first floor canvas is about 20 by 50 feet that can be spliit into 2 500sqft rooms for the time being
