Sub-organizations within NB.
<!-- Recommended discussion time: TWO MINUTES MAX -->
Interest groups.
Channels exist in Discord.
Start and revive guilds as you can/see interest for.


== New Members/Associate Members ==
Please note: '''https://safespace.noisebridge.net/ is one way to quickly raise issues which will be seen by people in Discord.'''
What are they? Is anyone trying to become a Member or Associate Member? If not move on. No long discussions.
Processing membership applications during the meeting.
* Joe: why do you wanna be a member? Encouraged to be more involved as he continues to use the space. Initially got involved during Global Game Jams.
To be a member you have to be a sponsor by a current member. Mark is sponsoring him.
Wants to make puzzles and boardgames! [Approved]
* Michelle - being sponsored by Emily and Matt.
  - likes to work on quilting, AI quilts, collaborating with different groups. An academic, interested in looking at and recording noisebridge history. At least interested in something like that.
* Mark: What outside of sewing interests you at Noisebridge?
* Michelle: interested in anarchist process. First space she's found where it's being done in practice.
* Mark: wants to talk more about that. That could fall under some other existing groups. Any final questions about Michelle?
* Mark: Does anyone block or have any concerns. *crickets
  - Michelle is now an associate member!
* Mark: Third person applying for membership is Collin
* Collin: Already donating since January, Sam G is his sponsor. Happy to have access to a laser cutter without having to make that investment himself. Really likes working at the space because he feels like he's able to get more done. He's very grateful for the space, and he hopes to be a good member. The primary project he's working on is a bunch of drawer organizers for himself and others
* Mark: Likes organizing things as well. Wants to talk more about drawers
* Collin: I want to be a part of the laser guild. I've talked to JD about that a couple times. Interested in working and maintaining the tool. Still a lot to learn.
* Mark: Any other questions for Collin? I've talked to Collin and he seems genuinely interesting. I have no problem. Any blockers? Silence
  - Collin is now an associate member!
* John applied for membership - sponsored by Sam. Couldn't find his application at first. Been using the space for a while, finally want to join and be a part of the community.
* Does mainly workshop. Wants to pick up coding again.
* Mark: Are you ready to take more responsibilty for the space?
* John: yes I have more time and theres nothing better for me to put the time in for.


(Question: what is associate member (philanthropist) and how does it differ from member?)
== Brief Kudos ==
* Loren: Philanthropists, associate members, agree to be responsible for the space. Members also agree to be responsible for the community.
<!-- Recent examples of excellent behavior, say 3, unless the passion moves you. -->


* Mark: Anyone block John's application for associate membership?
= [[Guild]]s & [[WG]]s =
  - No one blocks. John is an associate member!
''Reports from guilds & working groups. Updates! Events! Requests!''

== Fundraising Update ==
'''How's it all going'''
<!-- '''How's it all going''' -->
Have you done any? Do we need to do any?
John: Made contact with a related space: dont have a shop but are working on a very nice official venue. Called: Faight
We might have access to a nice venue where we can do fundraising event.


Max: Some people came from a space called Studio 45 to use the 3D printers for a hackathon. They donated some cash to NB. Collabs are good and should be done more in the future.
= Big C Consensus Items =
<!-- Nobody likes 3 hour meetings, only explain if new people are present. https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Current_Consensus_Items -->


Ken: we should consider doing an open house to get more people interested in the space  
== [[ 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. -->


Mark: Sunday Streets exists. they do events in sf every month, first one is this month for this month. This month it is [neighborhood]. Our Mission neighborhood one is in July 30th. We should do something for it! Join the dicord channel #sunday-streets to be a part of it.
= Discussion Items =


Shahzoda: https://www.vibrantsf.org/ - giving grants from 3-8k for pop-up shops in SoMa
== 1: [topic] ==
* Some back and forth on this topic. Mark says its worth opening the conversation about
{{DiscussionItem|
| topic = <PUT_TOPIC_NAME_HERE>
| raised_by = <PUT_NOISEBRIDGER_ALIAS_HERE>
| seeking = decision/outcome/advice/[?]
}}


* Elan: If you are interested in sunday streets, there is a discord rank you can join.


= Big C Consensus Items =
== 2: [topic] ==
{{DiscussionItem|
| topic = <PUT_TOPIC_NAME_HERE>
| raised_by = <PUT_NOISEBRIDGER_ALIAS_HERE>
| seeking = decision/outcome/advice/[?]
}}


== Anti Harassment Policy Update ==
https://docs.google.com/document/d/14BlMYh-i1CbzUGj_AaqaF-YI2sL4WNokhJxEbev0G-U/edit


* JD: A lot has happened since 2013 when the ANTI-harassment policy was created. Particularly the Me Too movement. Not everyone is comfortable walking in to what is like a frat-house at times. If you want I can read what we got, and I'll point out the new stuff. Most of it is inherited from the old policy
== 3: [topic] ==
* JD: \*reads the policy (check link above)
{{DiscussionItem|
* TLDR:
| topic = <PUT_TOPIC_NAME_HERE>
** Update some language for new space, for specific observed behavior concerns,
| raised_by = <PUT_NOISEBRIDGER_ALIAS_HERE>
* Mark: So we have some language to change and clarify some things
| seeking = decision/outcome/advice/[?]
* JD: spefically talking about how some people were feeling marginalized or uncomfortable in the space. There was language around porn put in originally to accommodate the large group of individuals working in the sex industry that came here (for example, the armory, which housed kink.com)
}}
* Mark: We can discuss this tonight if you would like, but feel free to take your time. People can take the chance to read it and comment on any thoughts.
* Travis: it sounds like you are for keeping some of the porn language, just for clarity are you shifting that language away from the anti-harassment policy and into community standards?
* Travis: one more question: I'm looking at the wiki, and it says the reporting of the harassment - isn't that an important part of it? If there is no one responsible... I'm just wondering if any of that needs to be updated?
* JD: It absolutely needs to get updated
* Loren: Safe Spaces is a tool noisebridge uses
* John: is "ask to leave" a part of this, or is that something separate?
* JD: that's a mediation thing, not part of AHP - Mark agrees
* Elan: Ask to leave is a mechanism for addressing an AHP thing, but it is separate. Closely related, but separate. You can do physical damage to the space and get asked to leave, but that's not harassment.
* Mark: is not respecting an ask to leave a violation of this policy or some other policy
* Travis: there is value in brevity too.
* Loren: it might be good to document the ways things do get handled, just so we know, and have some precedent.
* John: One really strong reason to be more specific about our policy is in making clear what to do in certain situations, for example, one of like physical violence/etc.


* Ken: I think "ask to leave" should be under disengagement. It is when there are no moderators around, disengagement is kind of the best possible solution.
* Travis: This seems to already be documented


* John: Early on, the AHP proposal uses the word "genuine" discrimmination and harassment. I think that word should be removed
== [num]: [topic-short] ==
* Will continue adding to the document asynchronously

We are going to defer consensus on this till the next meeting so people have more of a chance to read it and decide if they have any objections.


= Discussion =
...Copy/Paste more discussion items as needed...


== Discussion Item 1 ==
Fundraising Email Address


Basically a request for people who manage Rack. We want a noisebridge email adress we can colectively use for fundraising communications. Please help us Rack people!
= Do-ocratic Task Board =
Participation also means doing stuff to contribute to the space. Propose new tasks or pick some tasks from [https://github.com/noisebridge/buildout-capp 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!  


Q: What has been NB fundraising campaigns and events in the past?

= End of Meeting =


== Discussion Item 2 ==
finance update. email funraising@noisebridge.net, and/or business cards. grant finding & applying — there are services.


== Discussion Item 3 ==
<!-- REMINDERS FOR NOTE TAKER[S] -->
Python class
<!--  -->
<!-- ==Note taker posts the notes== -->
<!--  -->
<!-- * Clean and tidy the meeting notes including removing all these really verbose instructions. -->
<!-- * Fill out the short summary at the top listing just announcements, consensus items, discussion topics, and names of new members and philanthropists. -->

* Travis: I came here a couple months ago to get more involved because there was a meetup link for a python class. Mohammed said it was a python class or whatever but no one was there. I'm trying to run the class, got access to meetup, people RSVP'ed no one showed up. In the past 5 weeks of running the python class on mondays, only 2 people have shown up. I'm asking for some opinions on how we could get more interest, if possible at all. How can I raise awareness?
<!-- ==Fun things to do after== -->
Suggestions:
<!--  -->
    - be specific on the meeting level beginners
<!-- * Do a 10 minute cleanup, bring dishes up stairs and wash them, clean the bathroom -->
    - have a baseline knowledge
<!-- * Have some beers on the patio -->
    - make it less often
<!-- * Prepare the next weeks' meeting notes  -->
    - add some sinage around the place
<!-- * Lick the walls. Or just draw on them -->
    - central place where people can see all the clases: meetup + noisebridge.net
<!-- * sing the [[Hackernationale]] (this almost never happens) -->
    - specific themes
    - emailing a professor and bootcamps!
    - doing it regularlly!
    - do it even without the students
 
== Discussion Item 4 ==
Ceramics
 
Noisebridge has a ceramics Guild!
Equipment by the powerpanel (near the doorway)
Some discussion + possibly alarm around this. It will be slowburn guild formation. It's complicated and we will not rush it. Physically, its complicated. We are also gathering equipment and determing what are needs are. We also need more volunteers. In month or two! Very open to people. No proposal just yet. Talk in #ceramics on Discord.
