Discussion[edit]
RUTHERFORD ESCALATION
Rutherford filed a formal complaint with Noisebridge's conflict resolution process. Claims: 1. Duck pond creates "hostile environment" for mobility-impaired 2. RDG has "claimed" shared space without consensus 3. Ducks are "not aligned with Noisebridge's mission"
Ripple: "Number 3 is absurd. We're a guild like any other."
Eddy: "He's never even BEEN to a duck event. He just doesn't like us."
Lumen: "We don't know that. Let's not assume bad faith."
Conflict resolution meeting scheduled for May 6. Ripple and Lumen will represent.
Silent Sitting solution:
Lumen's proposal:
- Cap patio sessions at 12 (comfortable capacity)
- Add second session — Saturdays 10am, indoor, "Quiet Sitting with Ducks"
- First-timers encouraged to try Saturday first
Vote: Approved.
Anniversary planning:
June 9 = ONE YEAR. Ideas:
- Duck parade through the space
- Alumni invited (even Murk? "NO" — Eddy)
- Photo retrospective
- New duck acquisition?
- Statement read from Sergeant Bubbles (dictated to Ripple)
Committee formed: Ripple, Flotsam, Tidepool
