Discussion Item 2[edit | edit source]
Pyconaut- We need more people to give us ideas on building out the new space. Even if only a few people can build the new space, if the can do the work that others ask of them, we can build a space that everyone fells like they have input on.
Relay- lets get others to help on different projects, gate, woodshop, library, sewing, gaming, music area.
Dan- We need to work on ventalation and outdoor space work. We also need paperwork done. The timeline is a bit unsure, but we should be proactive so that we can accomidate people when stuff starts happening. Bootstraping a safe space for people to work.
Relay- outdoor space would also need gate work as well.
Pyconaut- We should get permits, and to get the permits we need to get the blueprints form the city which is a big issuue right now. We do not want happened the past few years of noisebridge.
Dan- We also need safety plans for doing cunstructions during covid. All of thhis is not optional, it is required. We do not even know what we can and can't do without permits. This part will not be fun, or exciting. But if we do it correctly, we can then have people come in and work on stuff again. We need help doing the gruntwork to lay the groundwork.
Relay- Will any of these hurdles go away once covid ends.
Dan- We do have money, and can focus on buildout, as we do not need to worry about rent. We can also get grants in the future.
For people who want to help out, actually help out before asking for a key (there is a lot to do online that can help build out the new space).
Pyconaut- I agree
Dan- Also in person work does currently need a lot of coordination too happen as safety is the first priority, so just showing u is not really useful. It will be a few weeks tell much hhappens again. And it is not easy to figure out
Relay- So if you want to help out you should give info on what you want to do while in the space.
Dan- Bring your offer to a meeting, so that we can decide together.
Relay- People should try to get small c concensus at a meeting to move forward on buildout. A lot of people don't seem to know how to go about tha
Dan- It would be good to also be good to post on discuss to helpp coordinate.
Discussion Item 3[edit | edit source]
Web of trust
Dan- Web of trust, in terms of vouuch and veto.. It is granular, as what do you trust that person to do. Example (good at buildout, but night set noisebridgeon fire). It is hard to do, but we do have historic example, with access tokens. Currently who do we trust for buildout? Having a key is a double edged sword as you have a lot of power, but you also have a ton of responsibility. And people can be socially engineered into giving out keys. Also who should be trusted to give out keys.
Dan- Members doing psuedo consensus on who should get keys could be useful. People who help out can get keys. And having a key does not mean that people should use them. Not having a key is a safe option right now as how people use the keys is being looked at very very closly. Also not having RFID is making it much harder to control levels of access. Trying to force your way into noisebridge is unexcellent.
Pyconaut- Having keys vs RFID does make this much harder then it usually is. keys are either full access or no access, while RFID allows for many levels of access, and for that to change on the fly.

Ministry of contagion is waiting to be overthrown by the era of the knowledgable volunteer.
