== Discussion Item 1 ==

spending on noise reduction. welding curtains maybe. Question of basic spending limits.

Alex put together a curtain proposal originally. See "noisecurtain"

https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/NoiseCurtain

Loren realizes he needs to price things out then come back with an estimate.

Asks if there are any objections to a rough upper spending limit of $1000?

== Discussion Item 2 ==
Participation!! Help each other with things. There's a section in the discord, for proejcts. Ask an admin (e.g. Arity) to add a channel for your project)

Purpose of meetings. 
Point of conflict resolution
Announcements


Inducting ppl into the community is definitely a primary purpose

Mark - people come to meetings to go through the motions.

Loren -I generally agree, and think meetings could maybe benefit by being "broken up" somehow"

Mike - look into - "unconference format" contrast with "mosha" (sp) format?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference

JD - meetings generally flow depending on the moderator and how they are doing their job. That said, I will say, we are doing "something" right. We've been going strong for 15+years now.

Mikayla - having a little ritual to breaking ppl up into parallel groups/meetings is a potentially good thing

Loren wants to poll ppl about purposes of meeting

HB - if i may suggest it, i think some people may not be too interested in finance for example
* split off finance group
* confliet resoltuion stuff. many don't want to be involved.
mostly meetings are relaxed and comfortable. But occasionally they arent and go off the rails.

Elan - can we small c consense to do a trial run of a distributed meeting like, as soon as next week

== Discussion Item 3 ==

Parking tickets

Mark - I printed out a bunch of project parking tickets and they are on the clipboard on the front white shelf. Please use them in order to encourage others to label and organize their shit!

John - I have a project that's been hanging around - and maybe want to hang it on the wall?

Mark - just get your name on there and some contact info in case anyone wants to do anything with it

JD - something something contact info is good so everyone has a fair chance to respond to a parking ticket

Mikayla - still I wouldn't be surprised if i left something for a long time and it was gone when i returned to the space

Mark - So I will work on the format of the parking tickets to accomodate/encourage contact

Elan - I had a project with my name on it that disappeared, so it wasn't fully effective, and I agree making an effort to contact ppl is good

Maybe we need a "parking pass" type of thing so ppl are incentivized to provide dates and contact info for their projects
