ON GOING NOTES ABOUT NOISEBRIDGE (10/15/2025)

Fundamentals of Noisebridge:

• excellence to people and the space
• consensus process
• do-ocracy

What makes someone a good fit for the community?

• that they both contribute to and benefit from the community, while being excellent to each other

Membership:

• The process of becoming a big "M" member was purposefully created to be slow, and have obstacles.
• But, it was always the case that a Member could talk with the treasurer and agree to pay what they can afford, if $40 or $80/month is too much.
• The added responsibility includes the financial aspect

Being a Big M member means:

• automatically receiving a 24/7 key
• the ability to present a hard block to a proposal in the consensus process.
