We discussed it at [[Meeting_Notes_2016_06_28]]. We're going to try it for the next meeting, and see how it goes, and then discuss in the discussion section how it went, and how we'd like to tweak it. Noisebridge is a safe space. '''Invite a volunteer to describe''' what that means. Some specific points you might prompt the group to touch on, if it doesn't happen naturally: * What to do if you feel uncomfortable. * Noisebridge strives to be radically inclusive. What does that mean? * Noisebridge has an anti-harassment policy. What does that mean? Noisebridge where everyone is respected and feels safe, bring it up if you feel unsafe or disturbed there are posters that explain the see something say something don't harass people = Participation = Invite a knowledgable volunteer to describe who can participate at Noisebridge, including: * Describe how to get an rfid key for the door system * Describe how to get access to slack General everyone is welcome dont need to be a member can do everything here please donate, but necessary please open the door, but the person that is let is let in on your authority, you are responsible, if they seem sketch don't open the door slack channel (like irc but looks better I guess) for need RFID = [[Philanthropist|Philanthropists]]= * '''Invite a knowledgeable volunteer to describe''' [[Philanthropist/Pledge|Philanthropy]], and the application process. * Read off any names from the binder for the past month.

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.

Concensus whenever there are important issues two types large C- when ever there are any big issues the go through two weeks of deliberation tell people agree, or they can block it. Do-ocracy do what you want to do- blocking is a big deal, one block will halt that item instantly (only do it if you think it will ruin the space (IE lets set the building on fire)). == [[ Consensus Items History | Proposals from last week ]] == ''(Add any items which are consensed upon or someone has raised a principle objection for to the [[Consensus Items History]] page.)'' == [[ Current Consensus Items | Proposals for next week ]] == ''(Add any new items for consensus to the [[Current Consensus Items]] page.)'' = Discussion = Longer discussion items belong here. This is the last part of the meeting so that people can break off and continue their discussion afterwards. Mark- Video game library get general feel on it.
