= Instructions =
Note-taker: [[User: Ashwath (Ash)]]; Moderators: Mitch


Congratulations and/or condolences! You're reading this because you're participating in a meeting of Noisebridge!


You should read this instructional section thoroughly, and treat them as a guideline for how to host a meeting of Noisebridge. There are three ingredients to an [[Excellent]] meeting: A number of note takers, some facilitators, and participants.
= Introductions =
300th  meeting
* Mereline: What even is Noisebridge: Noisebridge is about sharing with each other and learning. Covers hardware, software, everything.
* J- Do anything you want as long as you are excellent to everyone. We don’t make money and we run on donations. Education is for everyone and only cost is time.
 
 
* Mitch- Co founder from 2007. No I travel the world – teach and help hacker spaces


Meetings are just one of the tools used at Noisebridge to create net forward progress on whatever it is we're all trying to do. Meetings aren't the only way to make decisions or have discusions, and in fact its usually a much better idea to talk about things outside the meeting before dragging the entire community kicking and screaming into it.
* Rezza- trying to find my footing in the Bay area. w
* Mereline- I work with wearables.  Proffesional hacker
*J- I used to fix nintendos. I teach the Monday classes..
* Henner – I write software during the day time and night time. Want to learn hardware
* John – two missions: I want to make a project with the Jetson TK1 board- a PDA
second mission: make Taipei hacker space better.


== Note Takers ==
* Trent – I teach the python class here. I work with the library at noisebridge library working group. Need help to make it better.
* Olivier: electronic designer. Just checking out the * Signal - I am brief. I hack on things related to biomedical interpretation.
* Robin: used to do software. I became an organic farmer later. Want to learn electronics here.
Ana- Consultant on internatoional maker moment. I work with fab lab and maker moment organizations. I am studying social impact of these spaces
Imay- I mess around with computers.
Samir-I want to make furtinute! I want to open source hardware.
Carl- Write software, mobile apps.
Mari: I am hacking wearables right now.


* Open a text editor to take notes on the major points of the meeting, using this page as the template.
Announcements:
* Project the meeting notes in real time throughout the meeting. Its super cool to use a collaborative editor such as pad.riseup.net or piratepad so that everyone is free to participate in the note taking.
* Saturday is the Made’s birthday party in Oakland themade.org
* Edit the [[Current_Consensus_Items|Current Consensus Items]] if anything is proposed for consensus next week.
* Edit the [[Consensus_Items_History|Consensus Items History]] if anything was reached consensus or failed to reach consensus this week.
* Post the meeting notes to this page, and email the announcement and discussion list with a short summary.
* Tell treasurer@noisebridge.net and secretary@noisebridge.net if there are new members.


== Facilitators ==
* MIT media labs (AR platform): openhybrid.org


There are generally two kinds of facilitator roles at a Noisebridge meeting:
* First hack night: bring projects at geekdom 6:30- 9:30
Look up Hackster on meetup.


* Stack taker - Useful when a lot of folks want to hop on the discussion stack. This gives everyone a turn to have their feelings heard. Usually only works when there is exactly one stack taker.
* Moderators - Keeps the meeting moving and prevents everyone from wasting too much time on one subject. Anyone is free to pick up moderation and move the meeting along.


In general, moderators should:
* Transformative technology Event- consciousness hacking: ttconf.org
* Understand the structure of Noisebridge [[consensus|decision-making]]
Discount code still available
* Make sure everyone gets a chance to speak.
* Speak only minimally yourself.
* Keep the meeting moving, and avoid getting bogged down.
* Identify discussion items, arrange times limits for talking about each item.
* Identify and summarize consensus, suggest things that need to be done.
* '''Get the [[membership binder]] and ensure that it is returned safely.'''


== Participants ==
* Feedback on 1 liner:
Creative community centers for hands on learning , exploring and sharing.


Everyone at a Noisebridge meeting who has consented to participating in one is a participant!
* Contact Mitch@confieldelectronics.com to help revitalize a dying hacker space.


* Say your name before you talk.
* Remain on-topic, and speak as concisely as possible.
* Assist the note-taker with any links or corrections that are needed.
* Remain respectful of other participants, their time, and the consensus and moderation process.


= [[ Membership Binder ]] =


DELETE EVERYTHING ABOVE THIS LINE WHEN YOU POST THE MEETING MINUTES KTHX!!!
* j- No empowerment. Everyone has equal rights. It shows commitment to the space and gives us rights to accept contributions: 40$(beginner) or 80$ a month. Grants 24 hour access to the space.
----------->8----------
Best way: hang out here, get to know people and you can become a member by filling forms and getting it signed by atleast by 2 membrs and no one objects.


These are the notes from the [https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Category:Meeting_Notes The XXXth Meeting of Noisebridge]. Note-taker: FIXME YOUR NAME HERE; Moderators: FIXME THEIR NAME HERE.
* Mitch- Decision is made by concensus. People who are not members can have 24 hour access by becoming a philanthropist. As long as no members object. Ther is a form for that as well.
* '''One or two bullet points of high-level meeting summary.'''


= Introductions =


* '''Invite a knowledgeable volunteer to explain''' [[Noisebridge_Vision|what Noisebridge is about]]:
= [[Philanthropists]]=
<blockquote>Noisebridge is a 501c3 nonprofit that provides a space for creation, collaboration, and learning about technology and creative projects. Noisebridge provides space, power tools, and infrastructure to help the public learn new skills and create cool things. Noisebridge continues to exist through and depends entirely on membership fees and donations. Our code of conduct is 'Be excellent to each other'."</blockquote>
None.
* Introduce any experimental or unusual moderation techniques that may be using during the meeting like: direct responses, limited speaking time, orderless stack, &c.

** What do you maintain at Noisebridge?
** if you are new: how did you hear about Noisebridge?


= Short announcements and events =
Last week:
* Cool new projects? Something you'd like people to know? Say now, but keep it short! One or two sentences please!
* Funds in bank: $33,095.98
* Any happenings at the space of which members should be made aware.
* Approximately - $22,000 of which is allocated to Noisebridge alone.
* Don't hog everyone's time since we all just want to hack!
* Our rent went up!! We need more recurring donations.


= [[ Membership Binder ]] =
= Consensus and Discussion =


* '''Invite a knowledgeable volunteer to describe''' [[membership]], and the application process.
<blockquote>Being a member of Noisebridge is not like being a member of a gym or your local chess club. Anyone can come to Noisebridge to hack and learn: you don't need to be a member for that. At Noisebridge, membership is something different: it means taking responsibility and committing to help to maintain, improve, and govern Noisebridge. As a member of Noisebridge, you don't just come here to hack and learn, you actively work to improve what you see around you, help to deal with problems, and make this community and space better than it is today.</blockquote>
* Read off any names from the binder for the past month. Mark down a check or other indicator on every open application to keep track of how many weeks they've been read out.
* Anyone eligible to join this week should
** introduce themselves,
** answer any questions members may have for them, then
** leave the area in search of gifts (traditionally beer and a lime, or cookies) for the rest of the group.
* The rest of the meeting should reach consensus on whether they may join.
* Remember to applaud new members when they return.


= [[Philanthropists]]=
What is consensus:
* '''Invite a knowledgeable member to describe''' [[Philanthropist/Pledge|Philantropy]], and the application process.
* To do big things: things that affect all in the community.
* Read off any names from the binder for the past month. Any applicants must have their sponsor present to vouch for them.
* consensus: all core members talk about issue and agree on it before it goes through.  
* If there are no objections, they're a philanthropist! Their pledge should be handed over to the [[Secretary]] posthaste, after which their token will be updated to give them the 24/7 access they've earned(?)
* Frowned upon to just say no without reason or solution.


= Financial Report =
* Anyone can join conversations, anyone can make objections with reasons however only members can make decisions. Proposal changes until everyone is happy enough or postpone consensus.
* Funds in bank:
* Noisetor (See the bulletpoints at the bottom of http://noisetor.net/finances/#summary):
* Any other details by those participating in handling our financials


= Consensus and Discussion =
* Consensus is a long process so do-ocracy is followed. Do it if it will not bring any objections. Objectors can help do/undo the activity.


* '''invite a knowledgeable volunteer to give '''[[Consensus Process|a brief primer on consensus process]]
* Consensus is usually a 1 week process.
* It is important that everyone in attendance understands at least:
* No proposals right now.
** Blocking with verbalized principled objections.
** Why we use consensus over other approaches to decision making.
** How consensus isn't a legislative process
** Why consensus isn't applicable to some things like conflict resolution, resolution of time sinks, and the like.
