Discussion topics[edit]

Fundraising[edit]

  • Club Mate on its way -- Anyone want to help pay for it?
  • Fundraising Party -- Let's have one? (General chatter was that a subcommittee should be formed to discuss this, and that it should be held in the new (and larger) space.

Noisebridge sponsoring LoveTech? August 15th 2009[edit]

  • Moldover to give info

Asking us to sponsor the event because it is easier to get a liquor license if you are a non-profit organization. ABC-221 would have to be signed by a Noisebridge rep, the property owner, and fire department.

This will be a consensus item for next week.

Moving/2169_Mission & Moving/410_Clementina[edit]

  • some numbers Andy and Mitch worked out
  • other potential spaces?

Estimate will be ready on Wednesday (which might be a flakey date). Between $4000 and $5000 (including new toliet, new sink, wall being moved, floor tiled, door installed. Does NOT include: electrical and painting of the drywall.)

There is no lip from the side walk to the elevators. The elevator does not have a functional call button. Being ADA compliant is questionable. Alex is looking into ADA compliance regulations.

2169 Mission has less rent but more build up cost.

For 2169 Mission we'd need to raise $14,000 dollars more than what we need now. $9,000 for Clementina. (These are estimates.) These numbers are on top of the $13,000 we have in pledges.

Possibly going to have a consensus item next week on this.
