'''jet:''' how many stickers? sir captain nthmost esquire the fourth: 100 for 80$ ish, depending on size? [no objections] nthmost: 150ish is a good place to start, might go up to $200 '''chris:''' i can do 50 for $6 1x1in sir captain nthmost esquire the fourth: let's talk offline '''Reimbursements approved:''' * $80 for printer to jonathan * $150ish for as many nice Noisebridge stickers as that buys * $120 break cartridges for the table saw '''Needs more info or more discussion:''' = New Members/Access Members = '''rick:''' requests sponsor, heather agrees jon jacques: web daniel is sponsoring '''sophia:''' requests sponsor, jet agrees '''rick:''' forgot to transcribe john jacques: also sponsored by elan and zacchae. i cut up the awning frame and has been hauling stuff, interested in woodshop and electrical, likes fixing broken appliances. wants to be an access member because tends to be a night owl, can help NB be open late, knows where light switches are '''sophia:''' [will come back to this] sir captain nthmost esquire the fourth: john jaques is 86d, was pointed out. vivid recollection of the incident, would be prepared to un 86 john jaques because i believe it was a mental health crisis '''jet:''' seems fine, do we know the process for un-86ing? = Consensus Items = consensus '''jet:''' raising a consensus process. this week is raised, next week discussion, week after decided - Guild Budgets (Proposal) wiki: https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Guilds/budgets discord: https://discord.com/channels/720514857094348840/1549613246321922129/1549613246321922129 @Blitzkrieg has proposed that we have budgets for official guilds with frequent small incidental expenses up to $100/month. * Guilds need to be official and have multiple members maintaining regular events, meetings and/or facilities that designate a guild treasurer to track guild expenses. * Guild members and guild treasurer will track expenses and compile them and submit the spending report to the treasurer and weekly meetings. * Expenses over $100 would need to be asked for approval at the Meetings like usual. (You can ask retroactively for something you got that was urgently needed, but it is not guaranteed). * Incidentals budget to restock things would be tracked in an automatic fashion for things that become routine restocks * Guilds that would like to start using this: * Wood shop restocking table saw blades for safety stop saw * 3D Printing restocking repair parts, filament, etc. * Sewing restocking thread, fabric, needles, etc. * Cafe restocking utensils/plates/cups, ramen, coffee, etc. '''jet:''' what is an official guild? '''blitz:''' a group with regularly scheduled programming and a meeting like this '''jet:''' what is the process for listing what guilds have this? '''blitz:''' a guild isn't official until the greater community recognizes it as such. what do you think? '''lx:''' "what is designating a treasurer?" [Jeopardy style answer, cute] i updated the proposal. guild treasurer would essentially be acting as an assistent to the treasurer '''nthmost:''' this is essentially 7 consensus proposals in one. we have a vague def of a guild which might be to our benefit, im not sure. having a strict standard definition could guild has killed guilds in the past. feels as though theres a proposal within a proposal. need a way to figure out what a guild is before we can propose giving them money. '''blitz:''' i just want the sewing guild which needs regularly bobbins and stuff to get what they need without needing to come to a weekly meeting. '''heather:''' i thought this a little c consensus last week. i agree with basic concept. some it seems as formality for formalities sake. '''lx:''' im proposing it as a big C. '''nthmost:''' two things to say now. ive seen the rise and the use of the word consensus meant as a decision thats made in a meeting that i want to push back on. and as for this thing: if you drop the formality i think it solves the problem. jean-jacques: nthmost can you turn down the music '''nthmost:''' nope its my son playing piano '''lx:''' i don't think we're trying to revitalize guild formalism. just need each guild to have a person to submit expense list to the treasurer. '''jet:''' based on what ive seen, concensus should really happen outside the meeting. fine to taLk about it but seems like theres disagreement that should be resolved outside the meeting. '''blitz:''' i wasn't looking for big C on this. '''john:''' sounds like guild can come to this meeting and ask for a discretionary fund and they would be accountable to show that ... to the treasurer. '''heather:''' agree with guild meeting. concept of guild treasurer sounds good. the rest we could drop. '''jet:''' i agree. '''lx:''' what are the changes people want to make '''jet:''' guilds you can now come to the meeting and request a recurring budget. '''nthmost:''' might be good for zacchae to weigh in. - un-86 john jacques (proposed this week, will be discussed next week) = Discussion Items = == 1: doing an into the hacker space rave. nb members can come for free. == {{DiscussionItem| | topic = doing an into the hacker space rave. nb members can come for free. | raised_by = estella | seeking = decision/outcome/advice/[?] }} '''estella:''' new system in collective. we have implemented a volunteer program. team of over 30 volumteers. we brief them on the event. last time people we smoking in the space and we want to make sure that doesn't happen again. want to reassure you the space is respected. we were told the 17th jet: 16th through 18th events are happening '''nthmost:''' check the planning discord channel '''jet:''' do you have any concerns other than trust? '''estella:''' not really john jacques: need a coat check? ive done it for years with burning man '''estella:''' oh that sounds cool [elided a lot of confusing discussion with no conclusions] one hundred and twenty dollars approved for woodshop for table saw == 2: process for getting access for people who can't come to a tuesday meeting == {{DiscussionItem| | topic = process for getting access for people who can't come to a tuesday meeting | raised_by = Heather | seeking = decision/outcome/advice/[?] }} heather: 3 people we want to sponsor. one has work, one can't be out of the house and has no audio setup, third normally shows up on a different day. is there any process for a core member to sponsor an access member without the new access member showing up. '''jet:''' i dont know. LX/naomi? '''lx:''' i think in principle as long as we have people who vouch, we always allow things to be done by proxy. create an opportunity to meet this person elsewhere '''naomi:''' noisebridge is always inventing processes and the north star is trust. if we accept them as members because we trust them, we've done something good. if we have misgivings and are just following the process, no good. we have accepted access members by proxy, but we try not to because it tends to feel better if we have them there in person. there's a lot of gray area here. '''lx:''' chaz proposed a leap year meeting for non-tuesday ppl. 5th friday of every month? '''sophia:''' i support the leap year idea '''jet:''' in the meantime, ok to sponsor by proxy, introduce at tuesday meeting, then do it normally '''heather:''' maybe they could record a video? '''jet:''' a picture or video would be amazing '''heather:''' will follow up next meeting == 3: inclusion and including attitudes around homelessness and such == {{DiscussionItem| | topic = inclusion and including attitudes around homelessness and such | raised_by = Heather | seeking = decision/outcome/advice/[?] }} heather: - [two requested pieces of context: heather uses singular we. heather is living in a shelter/homeless and requests that this info does not make it onto discord] i'm sure many of yall know that if the topic of homelessness by that name comes up, it's often pretty negative. recently someone said they wouldnt want to live in the mission because they have to cross the street to avoid homeless people. first of all just walk around, second they werent referring to us. it was being used as a pejorative. a couple days ago, someone came up to us (apparently trying to vouch for this person) and said that there's a black homelss person here. we know there are black people here who are not stably housed, we have invited some of them here. we should have been like dude that's a pejorative, but it's so normalized here that we didn't really think of it at the time '''jet:''' did anything happen? '''heather:''' they were just alerting us, realizing it wasnt anyone we know who is cool, assumed they were telling us about a problem so we said just keep an eye on it. they then got really upset that we were casting judgement on the person we were speaking about, apparently they thought this other person was being discriminated against, and came up to us using discriminitory language to speak on their behalf '''jet:''' were they being discriminated agaisnt? '''heather:''' i dont know. we've seen them three times, once they were loitering outside the gate (sober, not causing problems). second interaction we passed by them and they were hanging around in the front, which was odd, didnt really think anything of it and didnt want to get up in their face. we have trouble telling apart both white and black faces, we werent sure about this person so we didnt want to bother them. they were in a strange spot but like ok. also relevant, a noisebridger had just been lightly assaulted by a stranger running past, so people were a little bit high strung. so seeing another unfamiliar person loitering in the front (inside the gate). two people let them in, neither told us. it was near limbolandia '''jet:''' let's refocus the discussion, does this reflect on noisebridge? '''heather:''' we should have said dude what does it matter if theyre homeless, we didnt feel like we had that confidence jean-jacques: it's good we're having this conversation, it's primarily a white group. not a bad thing, but we dont have a whole lot of latinos/blacks/etc. we need to be aware of racism and be welcoming. also elitism, about who has money and stuff. think about albert einstein and how brilliant he was(??). albert einstein looked homeless but was intelligent and talented '''sunshine:''' the difference between people who are at the upper echelon of society and those at the bottom, the only difference is money. im also living in a shelter. across the board, homeless people are brilliant but dealing with issues/trauma. it's important to have a trauma-informed space, this can cross the bridge between class and race '''lx:''' i was one of the first people to get in trouble for being homeless and sleeping on the couch at noisebridge. the concern from the individual who was upset about how we responded to the person at the gate said that it was about race, but this is not the whole store. i havent seen racism at NB but i have seen the class divide, and theres a scary aspect of going into a space of tech bros while you just need to charge your laptop and youre living in the car. we originally had a starving hacker rate, we have some resources for people, sometimes it helps to have a computer in the front of the space, sometimes fritcion about people who just hung out to use the kiosk, maybe we can provide a working machine at the front. if we want to do better, we can take resources and put them at the front of the space. if someone is new to noisebridge maybe it's good if they see 'here's help for housing, here's an accessible computer'. for people who might be brilliant when they get a helping hand heather: re: not seeing direct racism, i have. all the black people that we personally have invited and have become regulars have spoken about negative experiences that have been racially motivated. also seen issues that other poc at NB have experienced, some may be a bit racially tinted. there have been incidents of racism at noisebridge, even if not obvious to those of us who are white. worth having as a separate discussion '''johnathan:''' not to make a big point, but when homelessness is expressed as something you are versus something you experience. i dont like the phrasing of someone who 'is' something versus 'experiencing'. the difference between yes and no can be short/abrupt for some people mr name: we cant mandate peoples attitudes/socioeconomical politics. we can tecah by example through the language we use, maybe this is an offshoot of NVC. i try to be open and inviting to whoever shows up to the gate. it could happen to any one of us, there are unseen forces. ive experienced both being homeless and having a high paying tech job and everything in between. not everyone arrives at nb with the experiences and learnings. the best thing we can do is to set good examples and be open about it and engage in that conversation ??: i appreciate you bringing in the racial factor, it's nuts in the mission and the demographics of nb dont match. is there a reason? are there things we might not be reflecting on or be practicing that might keep people away from the space? let's do some reflection on this. not confronting, but in a nonviolent sort of fashion '''heather:''' in terms of language as johnathan/lx said, the starving hacker thing says starving hacker not homeless hacker. we're not starving so it's kind of a euphamism. not a bad thing but want to point out the specific term homeless/homeless person. i want to re-emphasize that this is something to be mindful of. we will step up more and invite people to give feedback if they think that stepping up is not the right response '''lx:''' we should talk to the SF batman guy '''heather:''' cat woman is black '''ciara:''' there are people who come here just for coworking to get stuff done, not NBers in form but are in function. thankful that heather is willing to speak up for it == 4: PUT_TOPIC_NAME_HERE == {{DiscussionItem| | topic = PUT_TOPIC_NAME_HERE | raised_by = PUT_NOISEBRIDGER_ALIAS_HERE | seeking = decision/outcome/advice/[?] }} = Do-ocratic Task Board = Participation also means doing stuff to contribute to the space. Propose neinew 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! = End of Meeting = [[Category:Meeting Notes]]
