She says that she's new to the community and that there have been false rumors spread about her. I got her email address and will chat with her a bit more later either electronically or in the space. Update: talked to Amber a little more that evening. She said that she objected to someone waking a sleeper once because she had just given the sleeper in question a massage and he dozed off. It was 4 or 5am at the time. I suggested that 4am massages might be more appropriate for someone's house since they tend to lead to sleeping, and sleeping is a really touchy issue in the space right now. Amber is not on the mailing list and didn't know about the wiki or the tuesday meeting. I encouraged her to get involved if she wants to keep hanging around. She is keeping a personal supply of food in the kitchen, including a flat of eggs. I haven't looked all the way though it and I didn't ask her about it (maybe I should have). She told me that she was available for helping people with astrology and that she bakes pies in the middle of the night but didn't seem to be interested in any of Noisebridge's resources other than the kitchen, couches and wifi. She identifies as an occupier. She seems like probably a reasonably nice person but not especially interested in understanding the established community agreements about excellence. She seems to think all of her behavior is excellent. She seemed pretty annoyed at me by the end of our discussion. Rayc also spent much of the discussion pretending to be her lawyer ("My client..." jokes) even though I asked him to stop and pointed out that I'm not a cop and I'm not their mom, I'm just trying to understand what's going on at noisebridge.
**[[User:Hurtstotouchfire]]: Had a more extensive conversation later with Nick who seemed much more proactively respectful of the space and not entitled. He has also not gotten involved in any of noisebridge's infrastructure. I encouraged him to do so. He says he's never slept at Noisebridge and tells others not to.

24.130.87.2: adding proposed language and consensus

The topic of "hiatus" is currently under consideration for changes. There is a thread on noisbridge-discuss where we are discussing changes. There will be a [[Meeting_Notes_2012_02_07 | discussion]] of this item at the meeting on Feb 7, 2012. The results of our discussion will be up for consensus on Feb 14, 2012. Our current understanding is below.

=Hiatus=

==Previous consensus discussion about hiatus==
*[[Meeting_Notes_2009_04_14#Consensus_Items]]
*[[Meeting_Notes_2009_03_31#membership_hiatus.3F]]
I've been told that there has been previous discussion that agreed that the treasurer could put members on hiatus without their request if they stopped paying dues. To my knowledge, this should conflict with the previous consensus that members who cease to pay dues and become unresponsive expire as members after 3 months of attempted contact. Because of this, many people currently listed as on hiatus are unresponsive to email inquiries. The previous treasurer did not routinely attempt to contact non-paying members, and as such very few memberships expired during that time. -- [[User:Hurtstotouchfire]] 04:05, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
==Outline of existing practices==
===Reasons for Hiatus (in order of frequency)===
#Cannot afford dues for x period of time (where x may be unbounded)
#Do not wish to participate officially in Noisebridge for personal reasons
#Traveling
===Communication about Hiatus===
*Sometimes people do not communicate their intended hiatus to anyone. This is distinct from people who cease paying dues without consciously intending to go on hiatus.
*Most people email the treasurer. Usually they include an apology/excuse/explanation. Sometimes they include a time period. If they leave either one out, Kelly asks them, but previous treasurers may not have.
*Most people currently on hiatus do not respond to contact about their status.
===Terminating Hiatus===
*At present, hiatus continues indefinitely until the member decides to reactivate their membership.
*Most people have not terminated their hiatus to date.
*People usually terminate hiatus because they want to participate in a specific consensus or get a discounted membership at techshop.
*Hiatuses that are terminated appear to have no pattern in time length.
===Problems with existing hiatus model===
*We have 39 members in good standing, 16 members past due, and 58 members on hiatus.
**Most of the 58 people on hiatus are not responsive to email. There used to be more of them but Kelly emailed them all several times and some have rejoined or officially quit.
*People just stop paying their dues, and sometimes change their contact info in the intervening time, resulting in the 58 member list.
*Members on hiatus don't pay dues, sometimes don't contribute in other ways either, then want to block at a meeting, so they hand the treasurer $40 and break consensus.

==Open questions==
*Should hiatus expire?
**after y period of unresponsiveness? (following x period of stated hiatus)
*Should hiatus have a time limit?
**1 year max hiatus? 2 years? 6 months?
**If hiatus has no time limit, how often should hiatus status be confirmed? (i.e. when does unresponsiveness become a factor?)
*Is hiatus acceptable for purely financial reasons? (i.e. member is still fully active in the space, etc)
**benefits extended to non-members would imply that the answer is yes.
**if membership implies an ongoing commitment to contribute to the space, this implies no, but perhaps that we should have more options for skint members

==Proposed Hiatus Language==
===About Hiatus===
Noisebridge allows members to go on 'hiatus' if they wish to temporarily suspend their membership. Hiatus may be used when a member will not be involved in Noisebridge for an extended period, such as if they are travelling; or when a member is temporarily unable to pay their dues. If you are unable to pay your dues, please consider searching for [[Dues Sponsorship | sponsorship]], or asking the [[ Board and Officers | treasurer ]] about starving hacker rates.
* Members on hiatus are not obliged to pay dues and they are not able to block consensus items.
===Going on Hiatus===
* If a member wishes to go on hiatus they must notify the [[ Board and Officers | treasurer and secretary ]],
** stating that they wish to go on hiatus,
**informing them of the time at which they intend to return.
* If a member going on hiatus will not have regular internet acces or has specific communication needs during their hiatus period, it is their responsibility to arrange this with the [[Board and Officers | treasurer and secretary ]] before they go on hiatus.
===While on Hiatus (Termination)===
* A member may extend their term of hiatus at any time by contacting the [[Board and Officers | treasurer and secretary ]].
* If a member on hiatus does not contact the [[Board and Officers | treasurer and secretary ]] within three months from the date on which they intended to return, their membership shall expire. If that person wants to rejoin Noisebridge, they must go through the joining process again.
* If a member did not specify an exact time at which they intend to return from hiatus, their membership shall expire four months after they initially went on hiatus. If that person wants to rejoin Noisebridge, they must go through the joining process again.
===Returning from Hiatus===
* A member must inform the [[ Board and Officers | treasurer and secretary ]] that they wish to return from hiatus.
* That person returns to full membership one month after they have both informed the [[ Board and Officers | treasurer and secretary ]], and paid the [[Board and Officers | treasurer]].

==Consensus at Noisebridge==
* Proposals for consensus should be raised for discussion in one [[meeting]], and then consensed upon at the following week's meeting.
** Both members and non-members may raise items for consensus.
** This allows people who can't attend every meeting time to read the notes and attend the following week's meeting.
** This also allows a week for people to discuss the consensus proposals between meetings.
* Only Noisebridge members in good standing may block consensus.
** In order to block consensus, a member must be physically present at a meeting.
** If a member is not physically present at the meeting, they may attempt to find another member in good standing who is willing to act as proxy on their behalf.
** If a member wishes to, they are free to proxy for the wishes a guest who is not able block.

==Notes==
* The consensus process is decision-centric, and is re-configurable around any decision that needs to be made.
* If a member does not attend a meeting, they are asserting that they are comfortable with the decisions of those who do choose to attend, whether or not they agree.
* Members are free to express their opposition for a consensus proposal but stand aside without blocking it.
* Noisebridge operates a [[Do-ocracy]]. If you want something done, do it, but remember to be excellent to each other when doing so.

24.130.87.2: merging in info from OccupySF page

"Basically, noisebridge was born free and pure. It was composed of excellent hackers who had the highest goals in mind of creating a physical space where people could come anytime and create things. We thought that by renting a space with an open-door policy and inviting more hackers to make use of it, the purity of the initialized meatspace would sustain. Unfortunately, reality is an aggressive dog." -Jake (spaz)

==Noisebridge is not your home, it is your hackspace==
Hi. So, there's broad consensus at Noisebridge that living here, or sleeping regularly overnight is unexcellent, which means that you really shouldn't do it. Noisebridge is a place for hacking on creative uses of technology, not somewhere to live or crash out..

In particular, everybody at Noisebridge has the right to ask you to wake up and hack, or go somewhere else to sleep. As a community, we really really don't like people who either argue and are rude when they're woken up, or just go away and go back to sleep when the person who has asked them has left.

People who sleep at Noisebridge may find themselves awakened by the [[Rooster Brigade]].

24.130.87.2: misc updates

Hey folks, we have successfully achieved E6 color development by hand using the [[Darkroom/Resources#Developing_Stuff | chems Eric donated]]. This is a full 6 bath E6 kit (as opposed to [[Darkroom/Rapid_E-6_Film_Development | E6 Rapid]]).

==Color Development Equipment Checklist==
*Large tub, translucent plastic preferred (think we have this)
*E6 chems (thanks Eric!)
*temp controller (see shopping list below)
*chem bottles, 1 qt x6 (see shopping list below)
*plastic reels, 35mm & 120 (ours are convertible)
*film tanks (check!)
*timer (check!)
*[[Darkroom]] (check!)

Most of this stuff is on the [[Darkroom/Resources#Developing_Stuff | Darkroom resources page]].

==Kelly's Shopping list==
*[http://www.amazon.com/Won-Brothers-Digital-Temperature-Controller/dp/B002RXDTSI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1308936719&sr=8-1 Temperature controller] - $72.77
*[http://www.amazon.com/Adorama-Air-Evacu-Collapsable-Photographic-Container/dp/B00009R828 Accordion chem bottles, 1qt] - $4.99 (x6)

'''Total: $102.71'''

===Donations===

*[[User:Hurtstotouchfire | Kelly]] - $20
**Subtotal: $80.71
*Rubin - $80.71
**Subtotal: $0

'''We have enough monies! Kelly is ordering stuff.'''

==Film==
===Development queue===
Update: Kelly and MacKenzie mixed up a 1 liter batch of E6 chems on 8/14/11 and have developed 8 rolls in it since then. Feel free to book yourself some E6 time while the chems are still good! --[[User:Hurtstotouchfire|Hurtstotouchfire]] 02:03, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

*[[User:Heroic|Heroic]] 06:08, 8 August 2011 (UTC) - about eight rolls
**Various Velvia 50, Velvia 100, Digibase CR200, shot on the Big Island of Hawaii

===Donating film===

If you'd like to donate some slide film or $$ towards slide film that may be helpful for people who don't already have a backlog of E6 film to develop.

===E6 examples and recommendations===
If you're just looking for advice on what film to get, you can check out what other people have been shooting, above. Unfortunately slide film is a bit more expensive than color negative film, running about $8/roll for 36 exposures on 35mm. It's lovely though. I know that Joachim and Jas can probably provide more examples (links, guys?), but [http://www.flickr.com/photos/httf/tags/e6/ my flickr feed] has a few shots which were E6 processed slide film. --[[User:Hurtstotouchfire|Hurtstotouchfire]] 17:58, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
