We are looking into proposals of all sizes. From getting together for a couple hours of cleaning and organization to possibly closing down Noisebridge for a couple of weeks for to do all the things that you can't really do when the space is open. If you are looking for help with a big do-ocratic project, tell us. If you have a grand proposal that will require consensus, we are here to help direct development of it.
We are looking into proposals of all sizes. From getting together for a couple hours of cleaning and organization to possibly closing down Noisebridge for a couple of weeks for to do all the things that you can't really do when the space is open. If you are looking for help with a big do-ocratic project, tell us. If you have a grand proposal that will require consensus, we are here to help direct development of it.


Here's our general process:
Here's our proposed process. If you have a major Noisebridge structural change or improvement you'd like to conduct, sit write down and write it up as a Proposal For Awesomeness (PFA), similar to an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Request_for_Comments RFC], using the template below. Along with your PFA, list who you're working on the project with (ask them first!).


Ideally, if you have a major Noisebridge structural change or improvement you'd like to conduct, sit write down and write it up as a Proposal For Awesomeness (PFA), similar to an [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Request_for_Comments RFC], using the template below. Along with your PFA, list who you're working on the project with (ask them first!). However, there is no rule that you have to follow this format to make a proposal.
At the Rebase meetings present your proposal. If it is do-ocratic you may end up with some help. If it requires consensus then we will work to further its development into a strong proposal that can we can bring to the [[meetings|Noisebridge Weekly Meeting]]. Then the folks that are included in the PFA get to spend a delightful few days working like ROBOT SLAVES on building up Noisebridge, on a date to also be determined (probably by seeking to maximize the people who volunteered and are available).

If it is '''do-ocractic''', then it can be scheduled and done. If some obstacle (need for volunteers, specific skills, etc) is halting the project, take time in the meeting to work out how to overcome it. Please also consider making an announcement that the Rebase group has accepted the proposal and when it is scheduled at the Noisebridge Weekly Meeting.

If it will require '''consensus''' then the next task is to make sure the proposal is ready for its trial by fire in the weekly meeting. '''This is the primary purpose of the Rebase meeting.''' It is our task as the attendees of the Rebase meeting to take an ownership of the proposal, and assist the proposer in making a presentation that will successfully achieve consensus at the Noisebridge weekly meeting. The following guidelines may be useful:
If it will require '''consensus''' then the next task is to make sure the proposal is ready for its trial by fire in the weekly meeting. This is the primary purpose of the Rebase meeting. It is our task as the attendees of the Rebase meeting to take a kind ownership of the proposal, and assist the proposer in making a presentation that will successfully achieve consensus at the Noisebridge weekly meeting. The following guidelines may be useful:


* Is the language of the consensus proposal concise and clear. For the record.

Concerning do-ocracy, it has been written that "Doing excellent stuff at Noisebridge does not require permission or an official consensus decision. If you're uncertain about the excellence of something you want to do, you should ask someone else what they think."

'''The Rebase initiative changes nothing about Do-ocracy.''' If you have gotten this far, i.e. you have figured out an excellent way to facilitate hacking at Noisebridge and you are sure that you do not need consensus, then congratulations you are now a Rebase of One! Don't worry about the PFA or the Rebase meetings, feel free to make your improvement.

Still, Do-ocracy isn't always so simple or easy. If you are unsure of your project, want to improve it, need help, need additional resources, or simply want a second opinion regarding the do-ocracy versus consensus issue then the Rebase meeting is an option for this. Talking to others in the space or contacting an appropriate mailing list for advice and assistance are also options.

If you know that your project will require consensus then please consider developing and testing it through the Rebase meetings. The Rebase meeting's primary purpose is to investigate and develop large projects for presentation at the Noisebridge Weekly Meeting.

Do-ocratic or not, a good way to start strengthening a proposal is by using the [[Rebase#PFA_Template|PFA Template]]. This framework is designed to help you clarify your proposal for yourself and others. Responding to the prompts will address many of the initial questions that you will receive about the proposal, and create a better starting point for any discussions. Please link your PFA wiki page to this one so that anyone can read it.

So far, the strongest proposals have been those that are not requests that someone do something. It is important to identify, before or during the meeting, who is going to execute the proposed project. Will it be the proposer, someone who has offered to help the proposer, a paid contractor, or some combination of these?


To help others understand your proposal more clearly, please also bring any drawings, sketches, examples, data, handouts and additional information that is relevant to it to the meetings. A strong proposal will generate discussion, and may become the topic of a future meeting.

Here are some other things to look at on the wiki. These pages (or pillars) are a good through-line for discussing do-ocracy, the rule of excellence, harassment, and culture.  Please read, and consider them, before the Tuesday meeting.
