The 117th Meeting of Noisebridge

Crew

  • Moderator: Al S.
  • Note-Taker: Glen J.

Agenda

Introduction and Names

Announcements

  1. Frantisek: The server room (DJ Booth) has been repurposed to a tea room; feel free to help paint. Someday, someone will repurpose it into something else.
  2. Mike: Noisehorn has been placed by the hack shelves for people to make Noisebridge announcements.
  3. Sai: I drilled a hole in the bathroom door [frame] so the lock goes all the way in now.
  4. Glen: Now my dues are paid up, may I request a key and a hack shelf?
    • Spin off discussion: You don't have to be a member to use a hack shelf. The only benefits of being a member is "paying dues" and "participating in the consensus process."
  5. A lot of new people were present from either "off the street" or for the Origami workshop.

Financial Report

Questions were asked about involving Al more in the treasure position. Talk of co-treasurer and/or treasurer happened. Jeffery was not at the meeting, so more discussion was to occur off list. After that discussion, a new discussion item was scheduled for the next week.
