Pre-Amble

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.)

Alchamist- Our one rull is to be exelent to eachother, and it works really well, it means treat others how you want to be treated , and be respectful to others Ray- try to fix situations, Kiarra- you will come across many types of peple, be willing to learn about ant tolorate people who are different from you. Alchamist- Some interations may be aquard but that is ok.

We also hhave a antiharrasment policy, if you see something say something, or ask others for help. we have a space guardiens channel on slack that is a good place to ask for help.

Dan- If you dont know anyone at noisebridge who do you talk to?

Pyconaut- create a badge saying you can ask them for help.

Alchamist- ask someone outside of the situation

tiffany- ask the person who let you in.


Participation

Everyone at Noisebridge is a participant at Noisebridge.

(What does that mean? How do you get a door key? Access to Slack, Discuss, etc?)

Alchamist- Simpy by being involved you are whhat makes noisebridge what t is. You can participate at many levels and do all sorts of things, including moding thhe space, it is exellent to help yyourself and also to give back to noisebridge, participate in a project at noisebridge


Philanthropist definition

A Philanthropist at Noisebridge has earned enough trust from the community to open and close the space.

(What does that mean? What do we expect from Philanthropists? How do you become one? etc)

Someone who hhas earned enough trust from the comunity to be given 24/7 acces, and to open and closse the space. Generally contribut a set ammount of money per month, time is also helpful, and sometimes can ofset cost.


Membership Definition

Membership in Noisebridge entails community Trust in Consensus.

(What does that mean? What do we expect from Members? How do you become a Member? etc)

They have the most trust in the space, help take care of noisebridge a bit more, though you You have infulence in proportion to your cedibility

Members can block Big C concencus items, this is the only really benifit. (and voting for our board).

Consensus

Consensus is how the Noisebridge Membership may change how Noisebridge works.

(How does Consensus work? What types of things are good for formal Consensus? What is small-c consensus? What is a "block"?)

Big C- we are an anchist hackerspace so we have very few rules, but every once in a while you feel uncomfortable to do something yourself, so you propose it to the whole of noisebridge (big items, signing leases, contracts, big modifications). It has to be discussed at at least two meetings (two full weeks is best). And the language does not change during the final week.

Small c- taking to the
