More approachable & specific guidelines, [[Community Standards|https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Community_Standards]]
 
<nowiki>https://safespace.noisebridge.net/</nowiki> is one way to quickly raise issues which will be seen by people in Slack.
 
<nowiki>=== Accessiblity ===</nowiki>
 
acknowledging the importance of accessiblity, making the space as accessible.
 
["subtweet", concern about reference to disagreement earlier in the day]

Status this week? Helpful broad asks to the community?
 
NB city bureaucracy WG -- JD & Alice, among others.
 
<nowiki>*</nowiki> An inspection happened. It seemed good. Waiting on lighting determinations.
 
We may still owe money. We might not. There's a requirement for energy efficient lighting for new warehouses.  They're arguing for us: we're using LED lighting, we're an existing space.
 
<nowiki>= Membership =</nowiki>
 
We say all who visit and take part are members  Participant-members
 
(See also Donor-Members)
 
We say associate membership (), formalizes taking part in the space, being responsible for the space.
 
We say "big M" membership, formalizes, recognizes taking part being responsibility for the community in addition to the sapce
 
We want to emphasize that anyone can donate to Noisebrige. You don't need to be recognized more formally to donate--though we do expect members to donate.
 
Formal priviledges of membership include just: granting 30 day access to other newer community participants, and 
 
(Story about bomb threats made to OpenAI, and they may have been someone that we rejected from membership, earlier this year. Same group)
 
<nowiki>*</nowiki> Angello - associate membership - sponsor Elan.
 
Elan - doing great things in the community, cool projects (DIY quadcopter + go-kart) hosting a weekly movie night
 
Julius - endorse as well!
 
What skills and tools are you planning to use in the space -- in your upcoming go cart project?
 
Lorne-  welders often happy to teach in service of a project, but not just generally, open.
 
in 2 weekends, Ken & Ryan have a dedicated weld-everything weekend
 
thinking about building some storage, upstairs
 
<nowiki>*</nowiki> Derek -- associate membership -- waiting for Kevin (MisterName) to sponsor him, who first gave a tour.
 
Thanks for adding on to the current membership drive.

<nowiki>== Discussion Item 4 ==</nowiki>
 
From/Raised by: Julius
 
Seeking  Consultation (small c consensus)
 
On topic: Moving books from the hallway. One option - the music room wall. library, shelving welding)
 
Encourage process to continue: moving lockers up, to upstairs hallway.
 
Maybe moving them into RNA lounge -- not clear
 
Eric is wondering if some of stuff in music room should be scrapped.
 
Another advantage of books in music room:  Had some more punk music players recently. We would like to add more mass to the music room.
 
Library wall -- we can have tiny desk concert.
 
Elle:
 
against:  new noisebridgers, visitors -- you almost always find them wander by looking at the books.  Books & loud musicians -- are in conflict.
 
music room -- door might be smaller
 
Elan -- some could be in RNA lounge.  Non-current technical books.
 
Elle -- storage in music room ... but found someone hiding there recently.
 
Julius - sounds like the answer -- not clear, not settled.
 
LX
 
music room is awesome, I have a sign, neon "recording in progress"
 
we have a lot of people wanting to do video production -- have been hearing from people doing this at "the maid" (sp?) -- when making music, you often want to make video while doing it. Great to have a designated area in music room, not maybe AV audio-visual room. Perhaps more multi-media. Arts, painting at NB.  Video in AV room.
 
LX / Julius -- follow up in #art chanenl pls.
 
<nowiki>== Discussion Item 5 ==</nowiki>
 
From/Raised by: Eric
 
Seeking feedbank, confirmation / go-ahead
 
On topic: music room (cleaning)
 
I'm leading cleanup there.
 
There's someone's project there that, maybe should go.
 
We have 3 TVs there, we should use. For NB16.
 
We have lots lots lots to throw away. Doesn't work.
 
Don't just throw stuff in the music room because you don't use it. Make more space so people can use it.
 
Would like help --
 
We should host classes, earn money, not have noisebridge in threat of closign.
 
Martin: eric, when are you normally around
 
Eric: will bring mics, small cameras -- to start documenting game bridge. (consensual) filming the guild/topic intros.
 
LX says:we need people to stick a "project tag" when people put something work in progress somewhere,  "tag it" with your username on discord or alternate contact info
 
Elle: make me ashamed to think of the music room as a source of problems. There is much potential.
 
<nowiki>== Discussion Item 6 ==</nowiki>
 
From/Raised by: elan
 
Seeking approval?
 
On topic: lending out bookscannig machine to San Diego
 
stack:
 
   eric
 
   
 
Elan -- seeking small c / big C --
 
elle: willing to give a deposit?
 
Elan: might be willing to on their behalf
 
LX: I support lending the book machine and having it serviced for us
 
Josh:  we should have Noisebridge stickers on everything -- incl NB things getting used for VR (/AR) at Frontier Tower.
 
<nowiki>== Discussion Item 7 ==</nowiki>
 
From/Raised by: We-z
 
Seeking propose possibilities to NB
 
On topic: Curtis from Frontier Tower pitching us renting their basement.
 
Given: Limited run here, limited runway at NB.
 
Frontier tower, could be a space, half cost, no overhead of power, internet, utilities.
 
Possiblities of using one of the floors
 
Good timing for Frontier to accomodate Noisebridge to take over a floor
 
Comparable square footage.
 
NB concerns about -- proximity to BART, accessibility,
 
cameras
 
Basement + first floor are underutilized
 
Half the cost, NB retain value system.
 
Eric -- issue of acoustic drum. Super heavy. Drums are intrusive.
 
Curtis: there's a large DJ system down there that gets used a lot
 
LX: who's proposing?
 
Curtis: I'm a member there. I'm not proposing on behalf of Frontier.
 
LX: we should get to know them better, a fieldtrip day.
 
Curtis: going tonight, can accomodate another day, even maybe if I'm not there
 
Elan: questions - who makes decisions at Frontier -- rent, use.
 
Curtis: typically $200 / person to access the space.
 
Guests don't have access except to event.
 
Floor lead -- would approve event. If not fighting other events on the floor.
 
Basement -- not many other events. Robot fights, taser fights, some music ones.
 
10-20 members from here could pay dues. Directors from noisebridge.
 
Elan: that's a way of functioning within the current structure.   Startups can rent... (curtis: an office for $2k / mo).  Elan: have lots of secondhand info.  Event every day, versus open door policy.  Have an endless stream of practical questions.
 
Elle: have visited multiple times. Have been turned away at the door multiple times.  (Host not at door -- another time, someone
 
Curtis:  rules are, someone has to come to the door to let you in.  
 
Elle: went for event, someone had to come down for event
 
Elle: we would love to see more fundraisers -- Frontier to host one in the basement.  As a first collaboration, knowledge of each other.
 
Curtis: any events can be put on in the space
 
70% to event host.  Floor 20%. Tower 10%.
 
One floor... 100-180, nice seating. Aesthics "human flourishing floor" sauna, kitchen DJ offices.
 
Elan: you said -- 10-20 members
 
Curtis: we could draft and currate a pitch.  Long-standing NB existence. By the people, for the people.
 
NB could fundraise.
 
Curtis: offer the crunch here.
 
Curtis: run a similar space in vancouver, smaller space. DCTRL DeControl (sp), hard to get lots of people to take it seriously.   Playing at the edge of apathy, waiting for someone to save with money, is dangerous for long-term participation.


Would like to see more discussion.

Do-ocratic Task Board

[edit | edit source]

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!

  • What wiki pages need updating? What new wiki pages do we need? Discovered from the meeting.
