= [[ Membership Binder ]] = * '''Invite a knowledgeable volunteer to describe''' [[membership]], and the application process. <blockquote>Being a member of Noisebridge is not like being a member of a gym or your local chess club. Anyone can come to Noisebridge to hack and learn: you don't need to be a member for that. At Noisebridge, membership is something different: it means taking responsibility and committing to help to maintain, improve, and govern Noisebridge. As a member of Noisebridge, you don't just come here to hack and learn, you actively work to improve what you see around you, help to deal with problems, and make this community and space better than it is today.</blockquote> * Read off any names from the binder for the past month. Mark down a check or other indicator on every open application to keep track of how many weeks they've been read out. * Anyone eligible to join this week should ** introduce themselves, ** answer any questions members may have for them, then ** leave the area in search of gifts (traditionally beer and a lime, or cookies) for the rest of the group. * The rest of the meeting should reach consensus on whether they may join. * Remember to applaud new members when they return. * J: You have probably run a couple of meetings and you have become one of the people who protects the space, you know are consensed and become one of the people who is part of the concensus of the space Blake: It is more than a monogamous relationship because it does not have to be comittment to only one hackerspace J: It is an open relationship but it is a comitted relationship * Roger: We have three forms in the binder- James Sundquist, who is not here. We also have two people up for their last week- Kyle and Roger. Let's do some questions. * J: We have a quorum and we have enough people to determine concensus so each would-be member will leave sequentially and we will no take notes and will determine on their leave whether they have become members. * Roger: It is done one at a time? J: Yes, it is done one at a time. Roger[is confused] J and Roger go back and forth * Kyle: I am Kyle, I want to be a member becaseu I want to contribute more to NB and in order for it to survive we must continue this reciprocal relationship which at this poitn means me becoming a member. *Roger: I invite anybody to ask questions. * Alex: Should we promote more projects in the space to build physical things? Kyle: Yes, (talk about small business and the relationship with NB) But I don't want to rule out hobbyist * J: You've been a philantropist since January, why the big step Kyle: Giving people access. It hard to look at someone and judge them and that's a hard task but is needed to expand excellance at NB J: please elaborate Kyle: *explains consensus* Vicky: YOu've been super awesome since you've been here, what do you envision for NB? Kyle: That's a huge question, something I'd really like is ownership of the building and it's the beginning of talking about whether that is at all possible. To keep the accessibility of the building, even id there are hickups at times David: What are the limits to accessibility Kyle: *Explains a brief history of openess at NB and being overrun by it's openess* Roger: Anymore questions, no? *Kyle leaves* *Kyle is accepted and is now from here on part of the body-NOisebridge* Roger: Who will facilitate my inquistion? Torrie: Me Vicky: How many mouth-mellows Roger: 13-14, it's worth testing again Torrie: Why did you come back to NB after the first time? Roger: I needed a space to work, but then the poeple and community that are a level above anything that I have experienced. NB has cool shit and ppl in this shit Kyle: What don't you like about NB? Roger: Good question, Safety- it's not that I don't like but NB attracts the people who exploit the safe and are unsafe, it requires vigilance. It takes effort. J: what would you do? Roger: NB is at it's best with lots of peole in it, whether it's door access or dealing with the unsafe, I would have more people for safety in numbers. -: What's your mission statement in life Roger: Do cool shit Blake: Gotta catch them all? ROger: Also that I love pokemon Torrie: HOw would you explain NB to a finacial trader? ROger: Execellence is doing somehting positive and being a positive person to the community. Even in small ways. Dooacracy is the notion that the only inhibitor to doin something excellent is you, that there is a permissive standard for what sort of things you can do to the space or with the space. Concensus is the - Big C concensus is the - if there is a change- existential- major- to the space that we need to get buy in form all of NB's members, it is a process that we have used very rarely. MOst of the recent events I have seen are orgnaisational. Little C concensus is getting buy in from the local community adn it is how Nb is governed day-to-day J: You are marrying my daughter- what do you bring to this marriage? Roger: Good quesiton, I guess technically- there is not much that I am bringing in- I have an extra pair of eyes and an extra set of key cards for cool people that I kniw to nio longer ring the doorbell. This comes with long lasting ocmmitment to the space. That is the most interesting thing. Helping wiht projects, helping with tours, rnadom python stuff. Torrie: We know what you bring to NB, how has NB changed you? Roger: NB has brought me in contact with a lot of interesting people and has brought me in contact with a global communtiy and with new expierences- I would have never used a laser cutter without NB. -: Has NB pushed you beyond you're comfort zone? Roger: I think it already has, I have shared a hand in situations I normally wouldn't. NB asked a bit more, you don't have to answer the call but it certianly will ask. *Roger leaves* *Roger is concensed*
