Excellence

Our One Rule is to Be Excellent to Each Other. (On first Tuesdays, seek a few definitions. Other Tuesday, give a 1-3 sentence summary.)

What does that mean? Please see our page on excellence https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Excellence!

Anti-Harassment Policy & Community Standards of Excellence

Noisebridge has an Anti-Harassment Policy https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Anti-Harassment_Policy Everyone is expected to follow the Anti-Harassment Policy, please familiarize yourself with it.) TWO MINUTES MAX More approachable & specific guidelines, https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Community_Standards https://safespace.noisebridge.net/ is one way to quickly raise issues which will be seen by people in Slack.

Brief Kudos

Recent examples of excellent behavior, say 3, unless the passion moves you.

Kudos to JD for dealing with NB's Bureacracy and B.S

Kudos to Tin for helping people lockpick on Thurs.

Zoning, Permitting, & Improvements -- Standing Item

Status this week? Helpful broad asks to the community? NB city bureaucracy WG -- JD & Alice, among others.

Old permit has been withdrawn, ball is back in our court!

Possible actions:

   1. Try as an individual representing NB to pull the permit. Requires more certified letters from the owner, etc etc.
   2. Have a licensed certified contractor do that. Matt Tripoli may be able to do this for us.
   
   There will be a 3661.17 fee associated with change of use, notification that we are building wall, etc
   
   Reminder: We wil have to install some kind of permitted ventilation for the room. Will need to hire an HVAC person to run some ductwork, probably back to the alleyway. Dust scrubber maybe? Another permit we'll have to deal with.
   
   
   (JD breaks down the fees)
   

Guilds

• What are guilds - briefly describe (much like the previous section on "Excellence")

New Members/Associate Members

What are they? Is anyone trying to become a Member or Associate Member? If not move on. No long discussions.

Financial Report (first Tuesday of month only)

Anarchist societies under a capitalist state need money to survive and thrive, yo.

• Monthly revenue, expenses. Big projects. Big fundraising events. Reserves in bank.
• Any other details by those participating in handling our financials
• The latest financial reports from the treasurer are available at https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Finances

Spending Needs

Gotta spend money on XYZ (i.e. Gate, wiring etc.). WHO CAN SIGN THE CHECK OR LEND THE CREDIT CARD!?!?! It doesn't matter if we agree to do something and it can’t be paid for.

For lack of a better section: Jameson is looking to have his companiy's investors contribute to helping NB get a nice new 3d printer/laser engraver.

General small-consensus is "yes"

Fundraising Update

How's it all going

Big C Consensus Items

Nobody likes 3 hour meetings, only explain if new people are present. https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Current_Consensus_Items

Consensus Items
