Dane: Will there be a punk show here?

#noisebridge-does-cool-things (slack channel): "Place for announcements, discussions, and recruitment for cool projects!"

Elan - Really quick, it'd be cool if there was a place to announce and recruit people to work on projects you are kicking around

TJ - I want to do a "work on the space day" each week.

Marks - I will be doing a Tues "work on the space" as well. If you want to announce a project and recruit ppl, discuss or discord is a good place. We can talk about it in the discussion section maybe?

HB - I am usually in the space on Wens/Fri and try to work on the space. Let me know if you want to coordinate. 

Mark - effort to do things on Thursdays

Stephen - wanted to move meetup groups here, Sat 12:30-3:00pm. Bring engineers, designers, artist - show up and work

How many people? Around 15 show up. Post-COVID, put more effort in cultivating a group over past month. Around 4,000 combined members via meetup.com

TJ - Consider permission granted. We will work out the details and figure out how to promote it.

A few thousand people between the different meetup groups. 

Naomi: Are you currently a philanthropist or member? Not a requirement but this role would essentially be a steward of the space bringing other people in, and  being a "bridge" more or less for them... 
Stephen: Yes, currently a lot on my plate at the moment but definitely interested.
    TJ: Have other people (Romy, etc)...
Stephen: - I am an organizer more than a technical, I could always use help as well.
TJ: Not sure how to link events on Meetup but can create a parallel meetup in our NB meetup group and will post internatlly about it. 
Mark: If you provide a link we will post internally on discuss, wiki, etc. 


== New members/philanthropists ==
What are they? Is anyone trying to become a philanthropist or Member? If not move on. No long discussions.

Everyone who walks into the space is a member but there are also other levels of involvement which provide access and entail more responsibility.

TJ: We had someone apply for philanthropy last week but she is not currently here. I will sponsor.

Mark: Philanthropist gets 24h access and pays monthly dues. They do not get ability to 'block' consensus items. 

Naomi: Philanthropist requires only one Member sponsorship. Full membership requires two. There is also a slight waiting period for big M Membership.

TJ: Chris will be eligible for Membership next week. Others are also currently eligible. Woz/Les will also be applying soon.

Chris currently has a sponsorship by TJ and will need one more for Membership. 

Naomi will sponsor HB for membership.
