Crew[edit | edit source]
- Moderator: Al S.
- Note-Taker: Glen J.
Agenda[edit | edit source]
Introduction and Names[edit | edit source]
- "Welcome to the 117th meeting of Noisebridge" [and quick introduction of what we are].
- What Noisebridge is about: We make stuff and so can you!
- A brief primer on consensus process
Announcements[edit | edit source]
- Frantisek: The server room (DJ Booth) has been repurposed to a tea room; feel free to help paint. Someday, someone will repurpose it into something else.
- Mike: Noisehorn has been placed by the hack shelves for people to make Noisebridge announcements.
- Sai: I drilled a hole in the bathroom door [frame] so the lock goes all the way in now.
- Glen: Now my dues are paid up, may I request a key and a hack shelf?
- Spin off discussion: You don't have to be a member to use a hack shelf. The only benefits of being a member is "paying dues" and "participating in the consensus process."
- A lot of new people were present from either "off the street" or for the Origami workshop.
Financial Report[edit | edit source]
Questions were asked about involving Al more in the treasure position. Talk of co-treasurer and/or treasurer happened. Jeffery was not at the meeting, so more discussion was to occur off list. After that discussion, a new discussion item was scheduled for the next week.
