NOTE: Consider turning off fridge for the duration of the meeting. It is very loud and sometimes prevents people on video conference from hearing those in the space.

• Report of recent weekend meetups: Codeday high schooler hackathon, Wikipedia editathon. Great meetings. Great to see lots of folks using the space.

Excellence

Our One Rule is to Be Excellent to Each Other.

(What does that mean? Everyone is expected to follow the Anti-Harassment Policy, please familiarize yourself with it.) TWO MINUTES MAX

Short announcements and events

Mark - Food not Bombs volunteer effort tomorrow at @ 4pm. Let's meet at NB at like 3:30ish and head over from there at 4. Thanksgiving potluck this Thursday! 4pm food time? IDK lets just hang out all day!

David - I wish to host 3D production workshop on Wednesdays during the day, leading into gamebridge game dev class. Working on a wiki page for it rn.

CodeDay, 16 registrants, a few more with . Might give us a portion of money they get, from their ticket sales. Wiki meetup, 10 people. Nice seeing all the spaces actively used.

Guilds

• What are guilds - briefly describe (much like the previous section on "Excellence")

• Do any guilds have any announcements they'd like to make?

New Members/Associate Members

What are they? Is anyone trying to become a Member or Associate Member? If not move on. No long discussions.

Financial Report

Anarchist societies under a capitalist state need money to survive and thrive, yo.

• Funds in bank:
• Noisetor (See the bulletpoints at the bottom of http://noisetor.net/finances/#summary):
• Any other details by those participating in handling our financials
• The latest financial reports from the treasurer are available at https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Finances

Spending Needs

Gotta spend money on XYZ (i.e. Gate, wiring etc.). WHO CAN SIGN THE CHECK OR LEND THE CREDIT CARD!?!?! It doesn't matter if we agree to do something and it can’t be paid for.

Fundraising Update

We got $100 from someone randomly the other day!

Codeday happened. Unsure if we made any money from that... will need to check in with the organizers.

Big C Consensus Items

Nobody likes 3 hour meetings, only explain if people ask. https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Current_Consensus_Items

Consensus Items

Only for talking about Big C consensus items, small c consensus items should be discussed with people at the space at the time of the change/new item.

Do-ocratic Task Board

Participation also means doing stuff to contribute to the space. Propose new tasks or pick some tasks from Github, from what needs to be done around you, or whatever, and see if someone will sign up to work on that task. Anyone can sign up and it's a great way to show you are contributing!
