= Organization info =

== Mission ==

Noisebridge is a safe and welcoming environment providing resources that enable anyone to learn, create, and hack. Noisebridge is funded by donations and evolves by engagement from the whole community. We enable a wide variety of community activities, from electronics hacking to sewing to wood and metal working, from 3D printing to 3D modeling and VR development.

== History and Impact ==

Noisebridge began in 2007 as an idea in the minds of a few excited hackers at the 24th Chaos Communication Congress, taking inspiration from cbase in Berlin and Metalab in Vienna. The first physical location for Noisebridge, in the Mission district of San Francisco, was acquired in 2008, and within a few short months, the packed 1000-or-so square foot space was getting cramped. Noisebridge acquired its current space just a few blocks away from the previous one. In 2014 we had a major reboot of the current space, which significantly refurbished infrastructure, and in 2016 we undertook the construction of a combined metalshop and lasercutter workshop.

Numerous significant projects have had roots at Noisebridge over the years:

* The Diaspora social network began at Noisebridge

* The Pursuance Project — a secure, open source collaboration tool for activists, journalists, and nonprofits — is actively developed by multiple members of the Noisebridge community

* 3D printer company Type A machines started at Noisebridge and built their earliest machines here

* The Unityversity interactive game development environment is built and maintained by a long time Noisebridge member

We've also been an influence on contemporary literature and digital culture:

* Cory Doctorow's novel Homeland features Noisebridge as the home hackerspace of one of its characters

* Annalee Newitz wrote parts of the novel Autonomous at Noisebridge

* Ubisoft's based the hacker headquarters in Watchdogs 2 on Noisebridge

* The Aaron Swartz Museum/Art Gallery VR Installation is developed primarily by members of the Noisebridge community

== Current Programs and Events ==

Noisebridge has many classes and meetups. For the last decade, participants at Noisebridge have run a weekly soldering and introductory electronics class called Circuit Hacking Mondays. Along side this class on Mondays, there are regular Python classes, at both an introductory and intermediate level. Tuesdays have a Unity game development and VR class called Gamebridge Unityversity.

Until mid 2017, we also had long running web development classes on Wednesdays. We've also sporadically had classes on Haskell, category theory, type theory, Arduino, introductory sewing, and many other topics.

All of these classes are taught by people who are passionate about the subject matter, and about helping others learn. None of them were paid by Noisebridge, nor by the students: they taught these classes because they believed in sharing knowing and helping others level up their skills.

Noisebridge has also hosted many regular meetups in its history. There are currently a number of groups using Noisebridge to host events, including whiteboarding self-guided group study groups, cryptogovernance enthusiasts, hobby roboticists, Ableton music makers, noise music and video experimentalists, sewing and bag making fabric artists, and cypherpunks who work on new privacy technology. As with everything at Noisebridge, these meetups are run for free, by people who are excited to help the local community and also the world at large.

We also host talks, mini-conferences, and guest lecturers. Every third Thursday is 5 Minutes of Fame, which is an unconference style event where anyone can give a 5 minute talk on any topic of their choosing. We've had talks by world renowned academic computer scientists on topics such as functional programming and cryptography. We've also hosted interviews and gatherings with prominent privacy and security advocates, including Barrett Brown and Chelsea Manning.

= Organizational constituency—who does it serve and how many =

In some sense, Noisebridge serves the entire world: we're open to everyone, everywhere. But because of the limitations of physical space, our biggest constituency is in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our educational events have a wide range of attendees: during Circuit Hacking Mondays, for example, it's not uncommon for about half the participants to be children and young adults whose parents support their interests in electronics and technology. Our programming events are typically attended by adults who are working in the tech industry, or interested in learning to program so they can get jobs in the tech industry but who don't have the resources required by a bootcamp. Participants in Noisebridge span a huge range of income levels, as well. A significant fraction are employees at tech companies in Silicon Valley. A number of others are unemployed or homeless, and are able to use Noisebridge to work on things to improve their life, repair clothing, gain new skills, etc.

Precise numbers for participation at Noisebridge are hard to come by. Partly this is because we are open to the public not everyone has RFID access that would enable automatic tracking, and partly this is because we have intentionally avoided tracking people for privacy reasons. There are approximately 200 regular participants in Noisebridge, but the number of people who come here and use the space every few months is much larger, in the range of 1000, possibly more. Noisebridge is also used as a temporary home base for hackers who travel to SF from other parts of the world, and so the total number of people who have benefit from Noisebridge and made use of the space and its resources over the years probably reaches into the tens of thousands.

Activities done at Noisebridge have even greater reach, however. Because we support open source software projects and related technologies, the reach of the Noisebridge community extends to the entirety of the networked world. Numerous social impact projects have started or been run out of Noisebridge, including the Diaspora social network and the Pursuance Project. Many startups and small businesses have been run out of Noisebridge during their early days, including the 3D printer company Type A Machines and Outershell Adventure. Employees at startups often use Noisebridge to hack on prototypes of products, such as the robot delivery company Kiwi Campus.

= Organizational distinctiveness =

Anyone can participate in Noisebridge for free; no membership fees or entrance fees are required to use Noisebridge. Anyone can teach classes or hold meetups in the space free of charge, provided that the events themselves are also open to everyone free of charge. We're entirely funded by donations, and run by the community; no one is in charge of Noisebridge, and everyone is in charge of Noisebridge.

Everything happens at Noisebridge do-ocratically: if someone thinks it should be done, they're empowered to do it. This makes Noisebridge an incredibly dynamic environment, changing in response to needs of the community as soon as they arise. It also provides a glimpse into a whole new world of project and community organizing, as most people have never been in a situation where they can radically alter their surroundings and build whatever they want, without having to ask permission first.

= Capital plans: What kind of capital we're going to raise, and how =

Our fundraising goal is to raise between $1 million and $4 million from various kinds of donors. We are working with the fundraising consultancy Scandiuzzi Krebs to achieve these goals. We'll be reaching out to tech companies of all sizes because of the deep connections that Noisebridge has to the tech industry, both in serving their employees and also supporting their work. We'll also be reaching out to governmental agencies that promote education, the arts, and innovation. Finally, we'll be inviting individual donors to support Noisebridge, especially visionaries and philanthropists concerned about the future of STEAM education and the democratization of technology.

= Vision =

== Space Concept ==

New activities, subspaces, and installations we can build with a bigger space, which can be depicted in concept art:

* Light sculptures
* Film screenings
* Art wall - murals, street art, etc.
* Skate park
* Climbing wall
* Apiary on roof
* Observatory on roof
* Sound room
* Indoor hydroponics
* Roof garden
* Aerial Dance
* Mobile tool assemblies
* Immersive game environments
* Bret Victor-style Seeing Space
* Large community event space

== Ruth Grace Wong ==

[[File:Ruth_red_glasses_short_bangs.jpg|400px|thumb|none|Ruth Grace Wong]]
Hi, I'm a Site Reliability Engineer at Pinterest by day and a manufacturing engineer by night. My goal is to learn how to work with both software and hardware at scale, because I think these skills will empower me to make the biggest positive impact. I do lots of sewing and laser cutting projects at Noisebridge, including a DIY iMac and my [https://leavemealonesweater.com/ Leave Me Alone Sweater], which went viral and made me some money via Betabrand. To me, Noisebridge is a supportive community where people are super generous with their time and knowledge, and people in the space have encouraged me to branch out and learn more about electronics hardware and shop tools. I've also met many people in the space which lead to collaborations (some of them paid!).

I love documenting and sharing my experiences and learnings related to DIY projects or manufacturing. This has lead to unexpected successes such as the Leave Me Alone Sweater, which I initially posted on Instructables, as well as a writing gig with Supplyframe Hardware about manufacturing, after writing about the annual Noisebridge China hacker trip ([[NoisebridgeChinaTrip7]]). I can be contacted at my full name at gmail.com.

= Budgets =

== Needs: what constraints should the building satisfy ==

* In San Francisco
* Close to BART
* ~11,000 sf
* TODO What zoning PRECISELY?
* 100A minimum power supply
* Accessible
** ADA bathroom
** Elevator access or ground floor

== Cost of Improvement ==

Because Noisebridge needs industrial space, very little improvement will take place in any new location we acquire. Removal and construction of internal walls and other infrastructure at the current 2169 Mission St location was done entirely do-ocratically, by people donating their time and money, rather than by using Noisebridge's own capital. The same would be true at the next location we inhabit. If money comes from Noisebridge, we're anticipating at most around $50,000.

== Cost of Moving ==

Moving costs for Noisebridge will be similarly low. Renting a moving truck, loading at the current location, and unloading at the new location, will all be done do-ocratically, with all expenses paid for by the community of Noisebridge directly rather than paying using Noisebridge's capital. Should we reimburse participants for the money they've spent in the process, we expect to spend no more than $5,000.

== Leasing ==

=== Cost of acquisition ===

TODO Broker + First + Last + Security = $33k - $82.5k?

=== Annual operating budget ===

Considering a range of lease options, a pessimistic view of doubling our non-utilities, and carrying over our current expenses, we get the following lease budget breakdown:

* Rent price range: $11k-27.5k/mo
* Utilities: $2,600/mo
* Emergency Fund: $2,000/mo
* Snacks: $1,600/mo
* Bureaucracy: $500/mo
* T-shirts, stickers, etc.: $200/mo
* Misc. $50/mo
* '''Total''': $17,950/mo - $34,450/mo
* '''=''' $215,400/yr - $413,400/yr

== Purchasing ==

=== Cost of acquisition ===

TODO Price range: $2M-$8M, mortgage interest rate 4.5-7.5%

=== Annual operating budget ===

Considering a range of purchase and mortgage options, a pessimistic view of doubling our non-utilities, and carrying over our current expenses, we get the following lease budget breakdown:

* Mortgage price range: $5k-30k/mo
* Utilities: $2,600/mo
* Emergency Fund: $2,000/mo
* Snacks: $1,600/mo
* Bureaucracy: $500/mo

* '''=''' $143,400/yr - $443,400/yr



= Opportunities for donors: How can donors of each sort achieve their goals by donating? =



== Donor Priorities for individual donors ==

Support for Noisebridge allows individual donors to support an SF local non-profits and hackspace, promote a vibrant art and tech culture beyond the limits of corporate offices and an increasingly boring, homogeneous San Francisco tech scene. Supporting Noisebridge also supports democratic, grass-roots use of technology to make the world better, by empowering people through educational activities to understand high technology and to contribute to that world in real ways.

== Donor Priorities for corporations ==

Support for Noisebridge allows corporations to build good will in the tech community, and to give back to the broader community through educational efforts to help people understand technology.

== Donor Priorities for government institutions ==

Support for Noisebridge allows government institutions to support STEAM education through our educational efforts, support innovation and the advancement of the sciences and arts, and to support small businesses by helping maintain a vital resource for new high tech companies.

== Donor Progress ==

For each donor we'll need to do the following, in order:

# Apply/Contact
# Do Meetings and Tours (as necessary)
# Talk Amounts
# Transer Money
# Distribute Rewards

We should keep track of these in aggregate, in a timeline/sequence. As sufficient numbers of donors complete stage 4, we trigger an reward distribution, eg every 10 new $5000 donors, we throw a party inviting them all. Alternatively, could be every month, after some number of donors?

Timeline is as the following example:

== What is this? ==

Pursuance is open source software that enables individuals to organize in the pursuit of shared goals.

Individuals and/or existing organizations can form or join a “pursuance” to work toward a common goal.

Pursuances combine secure task management and discussion features, allowing newcomers to quickly get up to speed and enabling productive team-wide collaboration.

Pursuances can interact with each other, cooperating on shared goals or assigning tasks to one another.

Pursuance makes the collaborative efforts of all kinds of decentralized groups more effective.

== How did the Pursuances Project come to be? ==

Following his release from prison in 2016, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrett_Brown Barrett Brown] announced the establishment of the [https://pursuanceproject.org/ Pursuance Project], "a non-profit created to oversee the development of a radical new framework for “mass civic collaboration”, called the Pursuance System.

"This open source, end-to-end encrypted software will allow both individuals and existing organizations to create and grow customizable, self-organized entities called pursuances, all existing together in a visualized online space so as to better carry out both traditional and experimental forms of activist and philanthropic work. The board of directors includes Icelandic MP Birgitta Jonsdottir, whistleblower John Kiriakou, and actor and documentary filmmaker Alex Winter."

== What does this have to do with Noisebridge? ==

[[User:Elimisteve|Steve Phillips]], who started the regular weekly [[Cypherpunk Saturdays Privacy Hackathon]], worked with Barrett Brown and Claire Peters to form a local working group focused around implementing software to make Pursuances a reality.

==== Test that your setup works - Blink the Arduino's onboard LED ====
Select "Blink from the Arduino IDE's "File > Examples > 01. Basics" menu, or load the code from the following page:
https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Blink

== Fun with LEDs ==

=== Let's add one LED to your Arduino breadboard now, and make it blink ===
You can either modify the "Blink" example above to use a different pin, or you can follow another example sketch-

=== Blink without the "delay()" function ===
A slightly more sophisticated technique- load File > Examples > 02. Digital > BlinkWithoutDelay

=== PWM: Pulse-width modulation ===
Use a digital "~" pin to output a signal which dims and brightens using pulse-width modulation (powering the pin for short bursts)
Load File > Examples > 03. Analog > Fading

=== Multiple LEDs at once ===
Now let's add multiple LEDs to your breadboard, and make them blink-

=== Controlling LEDs with Outside Events ===
Adding inputs to control the LEDs: switches

=== Use a Photoresistor to control an LED! ===
See Kevin for a photoresistor. Follow these directions to set up the photoresistor, then use the input to control the PWM from above.

=== Communicating between two Arduinos with Packet Radios ===
Packet Radios! The nRF24L01 is a digital radio chip that Arduinos can use to send and receive data.

Requires two people with an Arduino apiece. Ask Kevin, J, Asim or Joe for a radio module.

Find a partner and follow this document: http://howtomechatronics.com/tutorials/arduino/arduino-wireless-communication-nrf24l01-tutorial/

| Modify the safe space policy as follows:

Replace the word "member" in the last line with "community participant". The line changes from this:

"People violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the space or the event at the discretion of any Noisebridge member."

to this:

"People violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the space or the event at the discretion of any Noisebridge community participant."

The purpose of this change is to bring the wording of the consensus proposal in line with the original intent of the proposal, from when the notion of "member" was different, and in line with current practice.

The board officers of Noisebridge may enter into loan agreements, building purchase negotiations, and lease negotiations in the interest of acquiring a suitable building to be our permanent home. This authorization lasts until a permanent home has been secured, or until Noisebridge has either renewed the 2169 Mission St lease or signed a new lease.

2. The Board Officers shall keep a log of non-sensitive information stemming from the authorizations above to be published as a “note” on the #the-board, a Noisebridge wiki page, and the Noisebridge discuss mailing list, at a minimum interval of every 2 weeks.

3. In the event that a purchase or lease decision is required in under two weeks, a special meeting may be called with at minimum 24 hours notice to form a special consensus on the lease or purchase decision. The meeting will occur at Noisebridge and provide a mechanism (e.g. Google Hangout) for remote participation. A link will be provided to remote in the 3 channels described above.

| January 3, 2017 || John Shutt aka pemulis || SF All City Fiscal Sponsorship - The Bay Area is in the midst of massive change. Whether it is the rising political power of technology companies, the fundamental reshaping of the city through construction, or the evolving stance of the region towards the federal government, understanding San Francisco and its surroundings is a key part of understanding the broader political environment we live in. In the midst of this, the region is lacking nimble, well-resourced journalistic efforts to expose the political mechanics going on below the surface of these changes, and bring detailed coverage to a broader audience.

In 2017, we are seeking to raise money to try a small experiment in community-supported journalism. San Francisco All City (SFAC) is envisioned as a muckraking publisher focused on the intricacies of Bay Area politics, a book club with its own dedicated investigative journalism unit, and a force for increased transparency and reform in local government, all wrapped into one.

Noisebridge will act as a fiscal sponsor for SFAC, directed by John Shutt, for a six month trial period starting in February 2017. SFAC plans to raise $54,000 and donate $2,500 for fiscal sponsorship. SFAC will donate 5% of any additional money raised to Noisebridge's general fund. SFAC may seek consensus to renew fiscal sponsorship at the end of the six month trial if things go well.

SFAC plans to purchase film and audio recording equipment and hardware for video editing, and may seek a separate consensus proposal for a matching grant from the equipment fund, in which case the equipment would live at Noisebridge and be available for general use by the community.

| Modify the safe space policy as follows:

Replace the word "member" in the last line with "community participant". The line changes from this:

"People violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the space or the event at the discretion of any Noisebridge member."

to this:

"People violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the space or the event at the discretion of any Noisebridge community participant."

The purpose of this change is to bring the wording of the consensus proposal in line with the original intent of the proposal, from when the notion of "member" was different, and in line with current practice.

| January 3, 2017 || John Shutt aka pemulis || SF All City Fiscal Sponsorship - The Bay Area is in the midst of massive change. Whether it is the rising political power of technology companies, the fundamental reshaping of the city through construction, or the evolving stance of the region towards the federal government, understanding San Francisco and its surroundings is a key part of understanding the broader political environment we live in. In the midst of this, the region is lacking nimble, well-resourced journalistic efforts to expose the political mechanics going on below the surface of these changes, and bring detailed coverage to a broader audience.

In 2017, we are seeking to raise money to try a small experiment in community-supported journalism. San Francisco All City (SFAC) is envisioned as a muckraking publisher focused on the intricacies of Bay Area politics, a book club with its own dedicated investigative journalism unit, and a force for increased transparency and reform in local government, all wrapped into one.

Noisebridge will act as a fiscal sponsor for SFAC, directed by John Shutt, for a six month trial period starting in February 2017. SFAC plans to raise $54,000 and donate $2,500 for fiscal sponsorship. SFAC will donate 5% of any additional money raised to Noisebridge's general fund. SFAC may seek consensus to renew fiscal sponsorship at the end of the six month trial if things go well.

SFAC plans to purchase film and audio recording equipment and hardware for video editing, and may seek a separate consensus proposal for a matching grant from the equipment fund, in which case the equipment would live at Noisebridge and be available for general use by the community.

into Noisebridge and host that person at Noisebridge as long as that
member or associate member remains at Noisebridge. No other person shall
be permitted at Noisebridge at any other time."

should be changed to

"Noisebridge is open to Members, Associate Members, and guests sponsored
by same, at all times. Any person who is not one of the above may be
asked to leave if no Member or Associate Member present wishes to sponsor
them at that time, with no other justification being necessary.

People coming to Noisebridge who don't know anyone should be introduced
to members who are present so that sponsorship can occur if members
present choose to do so at that time. Noisebridge should present itself
as "open to public visitors and guests as often as possible"

"Noisebridge is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion.

Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

THIS DOCUMENT: https://www.noisebridge.net/CHAM_2018-03-26

== Getting Started ==
If you have never worked with an Arduino before, you'll first need to install the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment).

=== Download and install the Arduino IDE ===
Windows: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Windows
Mac OS X: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/MacOSX
Linux: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Linux
Web IDE: https://create.arduino.cc/editor
You may need to install a separate USB driver to connect with the Arduino board. Speak with one of us.

=== Arduino Pinout ===
(CLICK TO ENLARGE)
[[File:Uno board pinout.png|600px]]

==== Test that your setup works - Blink the Arduino's onboard LED ====
Select "Blink from the Arduino IDE's "File > Examples > 01. Basics" menu, or load the code from the following page:
https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Blink

== Fun with LEDs ==

=== Let's add one LED to your Arduino breadboard now, and make it blink ===
You can either modify the "Blink" example above to use a different pin, or you can follow another example sketch-
https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/sik-experiment-guide-for-arduino---v32/experiment-1-blinking-an-led

=== Blink without the "delay()" function ===
A slightly more sophisticated technique- load File > Examples > 02. Digital > BlinkWithoutDelay

=== PWM: Pulse-width modulation ===
Use a digital "~" pin to output a signal which dims and brightens using pulse-width modulation (powering the pin for short bursts)
Load File > Examples > 03. Analog > Fading

=== Multiple LEDs at once ===
Now let's add multiple LEDs to your breadboard, and make them blink-

== Intermediate ==

=== Communicating between two Arduinos with Packet Radios ===
Packet Radios! The nRF24L01 is a digital radio chip that Arduinos can use to send and receive data.

Requires two people with an Arduino apiece. Ask Kevin, J, Asim or Joe for a radio module.

Find a partner and follow this document: http://howtomechatronics.com/tutorials/arduino/arduino-wireless-communication-nrf24l01-tutorial/

== Frequently Asked Questions, not addressed above ==

== Context of Consensus Proposal ==
# Noisebridge’s lease will end in August of this year. It has been made clear to us that it will not be renewed under any circumstances.
# Noisebridge should survive not just as a nonprofit that exists only as a paper entity and bank account, or as a diffuse online community, but a physical location in the city that is accessible, near public transit, properly zoned for our use, and able to accommodate our growing size.
# For this to happen, we will need to move. Our two options are to raise a lot of money to purchase a building that could serve as our permanent home, or raise a lot of money to sign a lease on a new location. Both options require much more money than we currently have and big new revenue streams.
# It would be much better for us to purchase a building than to sign a lease, which would leave us vulnerable to future rent increases, and direct nearly all of our future revenue into our landlord’s pocket instead of investing it into real property we own outright.
# The preferred option to finance a building purchase would be to borrow money from individuals through simple promissory notes secured against the building being purchased but without any liens. This method was successfully pioneered by Alan Beatts, the owner of Borderlands Books, whose customers loaned him $1.3M to purchase a permanent location on Haight Street in amounts ranging from $250,000 to $10,000 per investor.
# The terms of the note are simple: Borrower pays 3% interest on the principal to the lender once per year, for nine years, with a balloon payment of the entire principal at the end of nine years. There is no penalty for pre-payment.
# Mr. Beatts has shared the promissory note he used, which we can modify for our own use. He has also offered to introduce us to his real estate broker, lawyer, and accountant, and provide any advice he can, provided we have clear points of contact and an efficient decision-making process.
# Financing and purchasing a building is a large undertaking that will require us to make hundreds of decisions between now and the end of August regarding loans, grants, purchase agreements, inspections, and professional services. If we can not make these decisions efficiently, we will not be able to purchase a building (or sign a lease, for that matter), and Noisebridge will be displaced by fall of this year, maybe permanently.
# The “administration” of Noisebridge, including our bylaws, nonprofit corporation, board of directors, and board officers, are basically our API for interacting with the outside world. Internally, we make decisions through do-ocracy and consensus. When we need to work with the outside world, we do so via that API.
# Brief description of the way payments work now: Most of our payments for critical expenses, like rent, utilities, and garbage collection, are automated. Most payments that can not be automated are made by board officers — the treasurer (John Shutt), president (Patrick O’Doherty), or secretary (Victoria Fierce) — either online or by check. In rare cases payments are made by co-founders of the space who have access to our bank account, Mitch Altman or Andy Isaacson.
# Looking at our “API,” the most logical points of contact for cutting checks, entering loan agreements, and signing off on purchases are the board officers: the treasurer, president, and secretary. They have the clear legal authority to enter into agreements on behalf of Noisebridge, and their roles will be clearly understood by people outside of the Noisebridge community.
# As a practical matter, certain details about purchase negotiations may need to be kept off of the public Internet, to avoid being undercut by real estate speculators. For example, we may discover a property listing that has not been posted publicly, and do not want to alert competitors who may bid for the property. Or maybe the city hints that they may offer a city-owned property for sale at a discount, but negotiations are ongoing and it may not be the right time to reveal details to the press. The specific dollar amount of any bid we make when negotiating a building purchase is something else we will probably want to keep offline until the deal is closed.
# Nothing in this proposal implies that all or even most of the work in acquiring a new space will be done by board officers, or that their voices have more weight in making big-picture decisions. The sole purpose of this proposal is to empower them to make the hundreds of necessary executive decisions to pull this off, and to act as the points of contact for the outside world. The board officers do not make big-picture decisions themselves, but implement the consensus of the community in an efficient way.

== Consensus Proposal ==

&NBSP; Consensus Proposal

1. Noisebridge must survive not just as a nonprofit that exists only as a paper entity and bank account, or as a diffuse online community, but a physical location in San Francisco that is accessible, near public transit, properly zoned for our use, and able to accommodate our growing size. (See Background Information, Items A and B, for context for the introduction of this proposal. Short version: Lease is ending, gotta move.)

2. It would be much better for us to purchase a building than to sign a lease, which would leave us vulnerable to future rent increases, and direct nearly all of our future revenue into our landlord’s pocket instead of investing it into real property we own outright.

3. One accepted option to finance a building purchase would be to borrow money from individuals through simple promissory notes secured against the building being purchased but without any liens. Other excellent options may present themselves, so we should be open to looking at those, as well. (See Background Information, Item C.)

4. Financing and purchasing a building is a large undertaking that will require us to make hundreds of decisions between now and the end of August regarding loans, grants, purchase agreements, inspections, and professional services. If we can not make these decisions efficiently, we will not be able to purchase a building (or sign a lease, for that matter), and Noisebridge will be displaced by fall of this year, maybe permanently.

5. Looking at our “API,” the most logical points of contact for cutting checks, entering loan agreements, and signing off on purchases are the board officers: the treasurer, president, and secretary. (See Background Information, Item D.) They have the clear legal authority to enter into agreements on behalf of Noisebridge, and their roles will be clearly understood by people outside of the Noisebridge community.

6. The current board officers must consider whether they have the bandwidth to do all of the work involved in acquiring a new building. If they simply don’t have the time, think someone else would be better suited for the task right now, or would rather spend their Noisebridge time on other important tasks like fundraising, press outreach, party organizing, safe space volunteering, teaching classes, or simply hacking on fun projects, they should pass their title to someone with lots of time and interest in doing paperwork.

7. The board officers of Noisebridge are empowered by consensus to enter into loan agreements and building purchase negotiations on behalf of Noisebridge in the interest of acquiring a suitable building to be our permanent home. Any final lease or purchase agreement will require additional full consensus.

8. Board officers must follow their best understanding of lower-case-c consensus when making decisions. They will be efficient, but not hasty. They will seek feedback on major decisions.

9. Major decisions must not be surprising or unwanted by the community. Board officers must keep everyone as up-to-date on their actions related to the hunt for a new space as possible, given time constraints and the fact that everyone is a volunteer with a day job. At the bare minimum, they will log all of their actions and write a report once a week that can be read at the Tuesday meeting, and shared on NB-Discuss and Slack.

10. As a practical matter, certain details about purchase negotiations may need to be kept off of the public Internet, to avoid being undercut by real estate speculators. For example, we may discover a property listing that has not been posted publicly, and do not want to alert competitors who may bid for the property. Or maybe the city hints that they may offer a city-owned property for sale at a discount, but negotiations are ongoing and it may not be the right time to reveal details to the press. The specific dollar amount of any bid we make when negotiating a building purchase is something else we will probably want to keep offline until the deal is closed.

11. For any details that are kept off of the public Internet, board officers must still flag that the private information exists. They must share that information privately with any member of the community who is interested in good faith, with the proviso that it should be kept from the press and any possible competing bidders.

12. It is expected that a follow-on consensus proposal will outline a vision for what Noisebridge wants and needs in its new home, and that board officers will follow that vision in all of their work.

13. Nothing in this proposal implies that all or even most of the work in acquiring a new space will be done by board officers, or that their voices have more weight in making big-picture decisions. The sole purpose of this proposal is to empower them to make the hundreds of necessary executive decisions to pull this off, and to act as the points of contact for the outside world. The board officers do not make big-picture decisions themselves, but implement the consensus of the community in an efficient way.

14. This proposal does not expand the role of board members or board officers beyond what is necessary to acquire a permanent home for Noisebridge. For example, this consensus proposal empowers a board officer to acquire a $50,000 loan on Noisebridge’s behalf to purchase a new building, but would not empower them to acquire a $50,000 loan to purchase new fabrication equipment once that building is secured.

15. This consensus proposal will automatically expire on December 31, 2018 or after we move into a new building, whichever comes sooner, and would need to be renewed by full consensus.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

A. Noisebridge’s lease will end in August of this year. It has been made clear to us that it will not be renewed under any circumstances.

B. For Noisebridge to survive, we will need to move. Our two options are to raise a lot of money to purchase a building that could serve as our permanent home, or raise a lot of money to sign a lease on a new location. Both options require much more money than we currently have and big new revenue streams.

C. The promissory note fundraising method was successfully pioneered by Alan Beatts, the owner of Borderlands Books, whose customers loaned him $1.3M to purchase a permanent location on Haight Street in amounts ranging from $250,000 to $10,000 per lender. The terms of the note are simple: Borrower pays 3% interest on the principal to the lender once per year, for nine years, with a balloon payment of the entire principal at the end of nine years. There is no penalty for pre-payment. Mr. Beatts has shared the promissory note he used, which we can modify for our own use. He has also offered to introduce us to his real estate broker, lawyer, and accountant, and provide any advice he can, provided we have clear points of contact and an efficient decision-making process.

D. The “administration” of Noisebridge, including our bylaws, nonprofit corporation, board of directors, and board officers, are basically our API for interacting with the outside world. Internally, we make decisions through do-ocracy and consensus. When we need to work with the outside world, we do so via that API. Brief description of the way payments work now: Most of our payments for critical expenses, like rent, utilities, and garbage collection, are automated. Most payments that can not be automated are made by board officers — the treasurer (John Shutt), president (Patrick O’Doherty), or secretary (Victoria Fierce) — either online or by check. In rare cases payments are made by co-founders of the space who have access to our bank account, Mitch Altman or Andy Isaacson. The current board officers are John Shutt (treasurer), Patrick O’Doherty (president), and Victoria Fierce (secretary). The board of directors can choose to retain these three as board officers or appoint different people. When doing so, they should follow the lower-case-c consensus of the community.

Kevin':People offered to fly out here and accept $4K to train us to do things. They're professionals and what not.

Jarrod: could be useful if they did it for us -- training is less useful

Jim: Foundation Center at Sutter and Stockton -- lots of grant writers there. Local has some value; we're in a rich area and we ought to find local, sympathetic people. $4K to tell us who they think we are is ...errr

Kevin: 5% of our bank account to get started. Knothnx

Jarrod: We probably wouldn't even take their advice

Kevin: If we had $100K's, this would probably be a lot easier, but as it is grant writers will have to learn about who we are. Uless we find someone specific to education/technology

Greg: Foundation center x2 They have different programs that might be helpful in this area. They pay money to maintain a database of organizations that received grants

Kevin: They offer seminars/webinars on writing grant proposals

Jim: Agenda item: we learn how to do this stuff

Kevin: Outsourcing might make sense, given the effort on this front to date. Overcoming the learning curve has slowed us down

Jim: Needs ass-kicking for optimal cooperation

Kevin: People charge a lot of money for kicking ass in this town

Kevin': Originally presented the possibility of hiring consultants to help us

Silver: Big companies might be generous to places like this. I'm working on a project and I've had some success reaching out to companies. Google, Apple, ...? Noisebridge has a lot to offer -- this space got me into tech. Generates change in communities. Could make a strong case for Noisebridge to one of these companies

Jim: What does it mean to go to these companies? How do we find the right companies and identify the right people in those companies?

Silver: Presenting the hackerspace to them. They might not know about this place and the resources it offers. We just need the right people to approach them

Nathan: We need to be able to expressing what/who we are, to companies, generally wealthy people

Silver: I am super down to do this kind of stuff, but I would like to do this with someone else. I have puppy eyes

Kevin': Anyone feel plugged into the fundraising effort? Someone seems to be working on copy(?)

Nathan: I can contribute photo/video work. I think we should create a gofundme campaign. We should be able to show people what we are in 2-3 minutes. People with a lot of money rarely have a lot of time

Kevin: Do we have a gofundme?

Kevin': We have a Patreon

Kevin: Naomi has been working on it

Kevin': There is a fundraising channel. Would be empowering to us all to get involved with these discussions

Alex: It would be really useful to have groups that work independently, then come to gether, to compare result, to motivate each other. That's not happening now, and it's SAD.

Alex: Is there an entrypoint for people, task forces they can contribute to

Nathan: It would be valuable to show people "here are the teams working on this"

Silver: This being an anarchist space, that goes to show that people care enough about it to keep it around. #1 in the USA! Rich people are really generous

Asya: #poverty There are billions in poverty. Another team can choose to do events. We could have items we sell to the public to fundraise. Selling as in donation

Jim: Good track. Testimonials are powerful. Who has benefitted already? What have we made/done?

Nathan: We have a history at Maker Faire every year. That's one instance of publicity

Jarrod: the information you get by going there (the grant place) in person is much better than the information you get online

Kevin: I like the idea of finding out where other similar organizations get funds

Alex Peake: Building a Noisebridge-specific game. Need to build specific activities/skills you can learn here. Also need an overarching narrative. We need content. Game would be free but there would be opportunities for monetization. We need to make video-type content showcasing Noisebridge

Nathan: First person, 3-minute documentary. Someone walks in off the street and tours the space

Takeaway: Let's create some task force groups. Let's pin announcement of new-space subgroups in the new-space channel

== $NBSP; subgroups ==
It might be helpful to have focused groups for the various aspects of the Noisebridge Space Program which can run in parallel. Each subgroup should have a point-person, a bottom-liner. Each group should be able to provide updates at the weekly $NBSP; meetings. It may be helpful to create a channel on Slack in order to focus communication on said topics.

== Lease space search update ==
Kevin:
1504 Bryant, Second Floor. 10,000sqft property on Bryant. Divisible into two spaces. Accessible in theory, though there is a pinch point that may not be wide enough for chair access. One bathroom is not ADA. Owner is interested in building two accessible bathrooms on the second floor. There's typically a broker representing the building owner, but sometimes there's a tenant owner. They're helpful in negotiating a better deal. We've been working with Blake from Hello Office on this and looping him in on our search.

1144 Howard St. 8-9,000sqft. Two floors. Building broker is weird. $1.67sqft/mo, which falls into our range. Owner wants to lease the whole thing for $15,000. We've spoken with 2-3 other organizations who might be interested in co-tenant'ing. That hasn't really worked out well. Partly because we don't really have everything together internally.

Personally I think we should go with something that's within our budget. We should focus on affordability because affordable spaces are very few and far between right now. Used to work in this space and right now we're in a very low vacancy market (< 1% estimated). There are probably only 5-10 buildings on the market like this. We should look at opporunities based on what we can afford. Might be able to get a better deal through our tenant broker and/or co-tenants.

132 Missouri at 17th. Between Mission and Dogpatch; Potrero. 6,000sqft. $1.35sqft/mo Industrial. Pay for utilities on our own. That's preferable. Excitement. 30 min walk from BART

36-40 Shotwell at 14th. It's a hut. It has a roof. It's not cheap. $2+sqft/mo. Maybe $2.50

Jim: interested in electrical issues

Kevin: That's my update

Kevin': What is your view on affordability today, sans fundraising effort

Kevin: Looks like we can afford $7,000'ish, though maybe higher if we continue getting more money as we have been recently. $90,000 in the bank, though $30,000 of that is earmarked for TOR. We need $40-50,000 to move in, plus moving expenses (trucks, movers, etc.)

Alex Peake: I have a U-Haul truck

Kevin': We have bodies, if nothing else

Kevin: Only mention it because someone was estimating that we need $1/4M to move, though maybe that had to do with making a down payment. Worst case scenario, we find a business to lease ASAP. We only have 4 months left. We need a month of overlap at least

Jim: We might want to rent a storage space temporarily

Kevin: Spoke with John about what a Noisebridge graceful shutdown would look like. Basically going into storage, underground, etc. So far the current owner gives no shits about us. We need to respect that trendline

Jim: Before there was building Noisebridge, there was coffee house Noisebridge

Kevin': Anyone see any new properties?

Kevin': Anyone want to do a tour?

Kevin: Let's see if it's still available

Alex Peake: I have a friend who used to hang out here a lot, Paul, and he's a superstar fundraising/grant writing person. I will get in touch with him. I will put him in touch with the grant team

Jarrod: Shall we use the new-space channel for coordination?

Asya: Grant writing should have its own channel

Kevin: There's a fundraising channel

Asya: Can there be a grant writing channel/tag?

Kevin: Let's put it in the fundraising channel

Kevin: I think there are two pieces missing from our process. 1) we need more people to check out buildings/spaces

Silver: Noisy in the new-space channel. Maybe we can make a channel specifically for checking out spaces

Jarrod: We can pin things to the sidebar. Highlighted/pinned items(?)

Kevin: I don't have a good sense for who's down to look at buildings. Not sure if the people who were checking out buildings are still involved(?) We need to make a letter of intent. Ruth put one together for 1144 Howard. Formal non-binding communication expressing interest

Greg: How is the timing on this going to work? How long will it take to sign on? Will we be paying for overlapping months?

Kevin': We've discussed timelines and that we'll need to move quickly. We have a process for how this decision can be made quickly. Part of the letter of intent is negotiating whether or not we'll get the first X months free. We need to put something together that looks right to brokers

Kevin: I need to stop expecting more people to jump in and get involved. People will probably get more excited when more is happening. We need at least a month of overlap to move Noisebridge over, and we should probably do that before August. That depends on what we can negotiate. It's a matter of whether or not they're going to wait for us. Depends on whether or not we'll be able to break the current lease

Kevin': We need to have a plan to synchronize these things

Silver: Who is the board? Are they at this meeting? Are they behind the scenes?

Kevin': Trent and Patrick are long-standing members of the community. More responsibility than power

Kevin: Board was elected this year under the banner that this board will do nothing

Kevin': We've specified that the treasurer, president, secretary, etc. will decide

Jim: This is to conform to legal expectations. They are the fall guys

Kevin': These titles hold no significance. They can sign agreements. They are a legal interface. They act based on the consensus of the group

Kevin: My faith meter is low for better oranization

Jim: Discussion list might help

Kevin: With an interest in keeping the process private, we've made a non-public list for these discussions (to avoid trolls, competing brokers, etc.)

Kevin': Noisebridge has many known and unknown adversaries

Jarrod: Hillary Ronen, district supervisor, coming to do something here tomorrow morning at 0915

Asya: Hillary begins the process of something. It's a huge process

Kevin: It's a process we don't have much time for. We met on Friday with MEDA SF. They think our time line is too short. They acquire disressed properties and redevelop them. They're building a large mixed-use property at the moment. They offer other service which might help us, such as connecting us with other organizations. For instance loan organizations. In the short term NCCLA could help us to look good to a potential land lord. Presentation matters a lot. Having a CPA look at our books could be very helpful for optics. Things like that

Jarrod: Did they happen to say what would make the time line better? Would there be a good reason to put us into storage and wait?

Kevin: Reps from MEDA SF is going to be here to tour Noisebridge on Friday at 12:00. Would be good to have a bunch of people here

Jarrod: Propose that we start a calendar on the new space wiki page

Kevin: How about instead of a wiki, which it can be hard to find things on, could we have a Trello board for NBSP?

Jarrod: We have a Trello board since December. There is a calendar plugin. Might be overkill. Wiki for now, can optimize later. Everything should be in one place (this page)

Kevin: Another suggestion: to have mirroring between the Slack channel and the wiki page

Jarrod: Slack channel needs curation

Kevin: I hardly notice pinned items because they aren't immediately visible

Alex: Bottom-liners, point-people for these sub-groups?

Kevin: Agreed. Someone needs to care enough. Really flat organizations are hard

Each group should be able to provide updates at the weekly $NBSP; meetings. It may be helpful to create a channel on Slack in order to focus communication on said topics.

=== Weekly NBSP Meeting ===
- Kevin'
=== Let's go to Google/Apple/Other big companies ===
- Silver
- another female bottom-liner? Naomi?
=== Grants team ===
- Asya
- Jarrod
=== Standalone Noisebridge Game ===
- Alex Peake
- Need content people to make content
=== Videography/Photography group ===
- *Looking for a bottom-liner for this group*
- Nathan
- Scotty?
- Documentation team to help people who've made things to document their work
=== Spacewalkers ===
- Kevin
=== Live Streaming Arcade Cabinet group ===
- Mark
- PLAY GAMES TO SAVE NOISEBRIDGE!
- Would be nice to get fundraising help and outreach to video game watchers
- Join #nbgamingarchivists channel

== Lease space search update ==
Kevin:
1504 Bryant, Second Floor. 10,000sqft property on Bryant. Divisible into two spaces. Accessible in theory, though there is a pinch point that may not be wide enough for chair access. One bathroom is not ADA. Owner is interested in building two accessible bathrooms on the second floor. There's typically a broker representing the building owner, but sometimes there's a tenant owner. They're helpful in negotiating a better deal. We've been working with Blake from Hello Office on this and looping him in on our search.

1144 Howard St. 8-9,000sqft. Two floors. Building broker is weird. $1.67sqft/mo, which falls into our range. Owner wants to lease the whole thing for $15,000. We've spoken with 2-3 other organizations who might be interested in co-tenant'ing. That hasn't really worked out well. Partly because we don't really have everything together internally.

Personally I think we should go with something that's within our budget. We should focus on affordability because affordable spaces are very few and far between right now. Used to work in this space and right now we're in a very low vacancy market (< 1% estimated). There are probably only 5-10 buildings on the market like this. We should look at opporunities based on what we can afford. Might be able to get a better deal through our tenant broker and/or co-tenants.

132 Missouri at 17th. Between Mission and Dogpatch; Potrero. 6,000sqft. $1.35sqft/mo Industrial. Pay for utilities on our own. That's preferable. Excitement. 30 min walk from BART

36-40 Shotwell at 14th. It's a hut. It has a roof. It's not cheap. $2+sqft/mo. Maybe $2.50

Jim: interested in electrical issues
Kevin: That's my update
Kevin': What is your view on affordability today, sans fundraising effort
Kevin: Looks like we can afford $7,000'ish, though maybe higher if we continue getting more money as we have been recently. $90,000 in the bank, though $30,000 of that is earmarked for TOR. We need $40-50,000 to move in, plus moving expenses (trucks, movers, etc.)
Alex Peake: I have a U-Haul truck
Kevin': We have bodies, if nothing else
Kevin: Only mention it because someone was estimating that we need $1/4M to move, though maybe that had to do with making a down payment. Worst case scenario, we find a business to lease ASAP. We only have 4 months left. We need a month of overlap at least
Jim: We might want to rent a storage space temporarily
Kevin: Spoke with John about what a Noisebridge graceful shutdown would look like. Basically going into storage, underground, etc. So far the current owner gives no shits about us. We need to respect that trendline
Jim: Before there was building Noisebridge, there was coffee house Noisebridge
Kevin': Anyone see any new properties?
Kevin': Anyone want to do a tour?
Kevin: Let's see if it's still available
Alex Peake: I have a friend who used to hang out here a lot, Paul, and he's a superstar fundraising/grant writing person. I will get in touch with him. I will put him in touch with the grant team
Jarrod: Shall we use the new-space channel for coordination?
Asya: Grant writing should have its own channel
Kevin: There's a fundraising channel
Asya: Can there be a grant writing channel/tag?
Kevin: Let's put it in the fundraising channel
Kevin: I think there are two pieces missing from our process. 1) we need more people to check out buildings/spaces
Silver: Noisy in the new-space channel. Maybe we can make a channel specifically for checking out spaces
Jarrod: We can pin things to the sidebar. Highlighted/pinned items(?)
Kevin: I don't have a good sense for who's down to look at buildings. Not sure if the people who were checking out buildings are still involved(?) We need to make a letter of intent. Ruth put one together for 1144 Howard. Formal non-binding communication expressing interest
Greg: How is the timing on this going to work? How long will it take to sign on? Will we be paying for overlapping months?
Kevin': We've discussed timelines and that we'll need to move quickly. We have a process for how this decision can be made quickly. Part of the letter of intent is negotiating whether or not we'll get the first X months free. We need to put something together that looks right to brokers
Kevin: I need to stop expecting more people to jump in and get involved. People will probably get more excited when more is happening. We need at least a month of overlap to move Noisebridge over, and we should probably do that before August. That depends on what we can negotiate. It's a matter of whether or not they're going to wait for us. Depends on whether or not we'll be able to break the current lease
Kevin': We need to have a plan to synchronize these things
Silver: Who is the board? Are they at this meeting? Are they behind the scenes?
Kevin': Trent and Patrick are long-standing members of the community. More responsibility than power
Kevin: Board was elected this year under the banner that this board will do nothing
Kevin': We've specified that the treasurer, president, secretary, etc. will decide
Jim: This is to conform to legal expectations. They are the fall guys
Kevin': These titles hold no significance. They can sign agreements. They are a legal interface. They act based on the consensus of the group
Kevin: My faith meter is low for better oranization
Jim: Discussion list might help
Kevin: With an interest in keeping the process private, we've made a non-public list for these discussions (to avoid trolls, competing brokers, etc.)
Kevin': Noisebridge has many known and unknown adversaries
Jarrod: Hillary Ronen, district supervisor, coming to do something here tomorrow morning at 0915
Asya: Hillary begins the process of something. It's a huge process
Kevin: It's a process we don't have much time for. We met on Friday with MEDA SF. They think our time line is too short. They acquire disressed properties and redevelop them. They're building a large mixed-use property at the moment. They offer other service which might help us, such as connecting us with other organizations. For instance loan organizations. In the short term NCCLA could help us to look good to a potential land lord. Presentation matters a lot. Having a CPA look at our books could be very helpful for optics. Things like that
Jarrod: Did they happen to say what would make the time line better? Would there be a good reason to put us into storage and wait?
Kevin: Reps from MEDA SF is going to be here to tour Noisebridge on Friday at 12:00. Would be good to have a bunch of people here
Jarrod: Propose that we start a calendar on the new space wiki page
Kevin: How about instead of a wiki, which it can be hard to find things on, could we have a Trello board for NBSP?
Jarrod: We have a Trello board since December. There is a calendar plugin. Might be overkill. Wiki for now, can optimize later. Everything should be in one place (this page)
Kevin: Another suggestion: to have mirroring between the Slack channel and the wiki page
Jarrod: Slack channel needs curation
Kevin: I hardly notice pinned items because they aren't immediately visible
Alex: Bottom-liners, point-people for these sub-groups?
Kevin: Agreed. Someone needs to care enough. Really flat organizations are hard

Mister name: Created page with "= Circuit Hacking Arduino Mondays - March 12, 2018 = THIS DOCUMENT: https://www.noisebridge.net/CHAM_2018-03-12 == Getting Started == If you have never worked with an Arduin..."

= Circuit Hacking Arduino Mondays - March 12, 2018 =

THIS DOCUMENT: https://www.noisebridge.net/CHAM_2018-03-12

== Getting Started ==
If you have never worked with an Arduino before, you'll first need to install the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment).

=== Download and install the Arduino IDE ===
Windows: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Windows
Mac OS X: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/MacOSX
Linux: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Linux
Web IDE: https://create.arduino.cc/editor
You may need to install a separate USB driver to connect with the Arduino board. Speak with one of us.

=== Arduino Pinout ===
(CLICK TO ENLARGE)
[[File:Uno board pinout.png|600px]]

==== Test that your setup works - Blink the Arduino's onboard LED ====
Select "Blink from the Arduino IDE's "File > Examples > 01. Basics" menu, or load the code from the following page:
https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Blink

== Fun with LEDs ==

=== Let's add one LED to your Arduino breadboard now, and make it blink ===
You can either modify the "Blink" example above to use a different pin, or you can follow another example sketch-
https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/sik-experiment-guide-for-arduino---v32/experiment-1-blinking-an-led

=== Blink without the "delay()" function ===
A slightly more sophisticated technique- load File > Examples > 02. Digital > BlinkWithoutDelay

=== PWM: Pulse-width modulation ===
Use a digital "~" pin to output a signal which dims and brightens using pulse-width modulation (powering the pin for short bursts)
Load File > Examples > 03. Analog > Fading

=== Multiple LEDs at once ===
Now let's add multiple LEDs to your breadboard, and make them blink-
https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/sik-experiment-guide-for-arduino---v32/experiment-4-driving-multiple-leds

=== Controlling LEDs with Outside Events ===
Adding inputs to control the LEDs: switches
https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/sik-experiment-guide-for-arduino---v32/experiment-5-push-buttons

=== Use a Photoresistor to control an LED! ===
See Kevin for a photoresistor. Follow these directions to set up the photoresistor, then use the input to control the PWM from above.

https://playground.arduino.cc/Learning/PhotoResistor

== Intermediate ==

=== Communicating between two Arduinos with Packet Radios ===
Packet Radios! The nRF24L01 is a digital radio chip that Arduinos can use to send and receive data.

Requires two people with an Arduino apiece. Ask Kevin, J, Asim or Joe for a radio module.

Find a partner and follow this document: http://howtomechatronics.com/tutorials/arduino/arduino-wireless-communication-nrf24l01-tutorial/

[[file:NRF24L01-and-Arduino-Tutorial-Circuit-Schematic.png|600px]]

== Advanced ==

=== Packet Radios^2! Communicate with more than one other radio ===
Send an ACK (acknowledgement) message after receiving a message. Let's sender know a receiver got a message.
This constitutes bidirectional communication, which

New space meeting 2018 03 06

2018-03-07T19:11:44Z

Mister name:

Please see:

https://pad.riseup.net/p/noisebridge-space-program

for new space related notes and information

== Meeting Notes 2018 03 06 ==

Riseup pad: https://pad.riseup.net/p/nb-new-space

== In Attendence ==

* Kevin′
* Jarrod

== Overview ==

* Messaging & fundraising
* Lease space search update
* Co-tenancy update
* Accessibility requirements
* Current consensus proposal
* Letter of Intent

The Next Meeting is: March 13, 2018, 19:00

== Accessibility requirements ==

* Accessible enterance that includes an elevator if required
* One restroom that meets ADA requirements
* Many details are building specific and will require on-site evaluation
* This is a draft and requires more feedback

== Leasing and build-out considerations ==

* Given a lease, we must consider how much we are going to invest into the building infrastructure
* Longer term lease will be worth more effort in the build-out
* We should keep in mind our move-in, buildout, and consensus, costs.
* We'll need all new stickers

== Lease search update ==

* Kevin′ is touring 1504 Bryant on Wednesday, March 7th at 4:30pm

== Messaging and Fundraising ==

* Raise   on donate.noisebridge.net
* Blub copy is kept here: https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Fundraising_Copy
* $15,000/month in recurring donations sounds like a good target
* Discussion and editing of the copy ensue -- new PR to the view https://github.com/noisebridge/donate.noisebridge.net/blob/master/app/views/donations/index.html.erb
** Has this been deployed already?

== Letter of Intent ==

* The current consensus proposal authorizes Board Officers to enter into lease negotiations. A Board Officer ought to sign-off on (and perhaps sign!) a Letter of Intent prior to submission.

|title = HackTheLeft
|description = [[HackTheLeft|Hack the Left]] is an ''anticapitalist'' hackathon, going on for the entire long weekend of February 5th-7th at Noisebridge. This is an experiment to see what happens when you get a bunch of leftists in a room for a weekend with the intention to advance liberatory and ''anticapitalist'' projects using technology. This includes software projects like Tor and Signal, art projects like the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project and Men in Grey, hardware projects like mesh networks and signal jammers, and tools for rad organizations like Anti Police-Crimethink Project and Food Not Bombs. It's clear that there's a huge amount of opportunity for liberatory technology. It's up to us to build it. 

*Hackathon participants should be able to get into Noisebridge by [[Hours | its 11:00 AM opening hour]], if not earlier, for both weekend days.

== Frequently Asked Questions, not addressed above ==

== Context of Consensus Proposal ==
# Noisebridge’s lease will end in August of this year. It has been made clear to us that it will not be renewed under any circumstances.
# Noisebridge should survive not just as a nonprofit that exists only as a paper entity and bank account, or as a diffuse online community, but a physical location in the city that is accessible, near public transit, properly zoned for our use, and able to accommodate our growing size.
# For this to happen, we will need to move. Our two options are to raise a lot of money to purchase a building that could serve as our permanent home, or raise a lot of money to sign a lease on a new location. Both options require much more money than we currently have and big new revenue streams.
# It would be much better for us to purchase a building than to sign a lease, which would leave us vulnerable to future rent increases, and direct nearly all of our future revenue into our landlord’s pocket instead of investing it into real property we own outright.
# The preferred option to finance a building purchase would be to borrow money from individuals through simple promissory notes secured against the building being purchased but without any liens. This method was successfully pioneered by Alan Beatts, the owner of Borderlands Books, whose customers loaned him $1.3M to purchase a permanent location on Haight Street in amounts ranging from $250,000 to $10,000 per investor.
# The terms of the note are simple: Borrower pays 3% interest on the principal to the lender once per year, for nine years, with a balloon payment of the entire principal at the end of nine years. There is no penalty for pre-payment.
# Mr. Beatts has shared the promissory note he used, which we can modify for our own use. He has also offered to introduce us to his real estate broker, lawyer, and accountant, and provide any advice he can, provided we have clear points of contact and an efficient decision-making process.
# Financing and purchasing a building is a large undertaking that will require us to make hundreds of decisions between now and the end of August regarding loans, grants, purchase agreements, inspections, and professional services. If we can not make these decisions efficiently, we will not be able to purchase a building (or sign a lease, for that matter), and Noisebridge will be displaced by fall of this year, maybe permanently.
# The “administration” of Noisebridge, including our bylaws, nonprofit corporation, board of directors, and board officers, are basically our API for interacting with the outside world. Internally, we make decisions through do-ocracy and consensus. When we need to work with the outside world, we do so via that API.
# Brief description of the way payments work now: Most of our payments for critical expenses, like rent, utilities, and garbage collection, are automated. Most payments that can not be automated are made by board officers — the treasurer (John Shutt), president (Patrick O’Doherty), or secretary (Victoria Fierce) — either online or by check. In rare cases payments are made by co-founders of the space who have access to our bank account, Mitch Altman or Andy Isaacson.
# Looking at our “API,” the most logical points of contact for cutting checks, entering loan agreements, and signing off on purchases are the board officers: the treasurer, president, and secretary. They have the clear legal authority to enter into agreements on behalf of Noisebridge, and their roles will be clearly understood by people outside of the Noisebridge community.
# As a practical matter, certain details about purchase negotiations may need to be kept off of the public Internet, to avoid being undercut by real estate speculators. For example, we may discover a property listing that has not been posted publicly, and do not want to alert competitors who may bid for the property. Or maybe the city hints that they may offer a city-owned property for sale at a discount, but negotiations are ongoing and it may not be the right time to reveal details to the press. The specific dollar amount of any bid we make when negotiating a building purchase is something else we will probably want to keep offline until the deal is closed.
# Nothing in this proposal implies that all or even most of the work in acquiring a new space will be done by board officers, or that their voices have more weight in making big-picture decisions. The sole purpose of this proposal is to empower them to make the hundreds of necessary executive decisions to pull this off, and to act as the points of contact for the outside world. The board officers do not make big-picture decisions themselves, but implement the consensus of the community in an efficient way.

== Consensus Proposal ==

&NBSP; Consensus Proposal

1. Noisebridge must survive not just as a nonprofit that exists only as a paper entity and bank account, or as a diffuse online community, but a physical location in San Francisco that is accessible, near public transit, properly zoned for our use, and able to accommodate our growing size. (See Background Information, Items A and B, for context for the introduction of this proposal. Short version: Lease is ending, gotta move.)

2. It would be much better for us to purchase a building than to sign a lease, which would leave us vulnerable to future rent increases, and direct nearly all of our future revenue into our landlord’s pocket instead of investing it into real property we own outright.

3. One accepted option to finance a building purchase would be to borrow money from individuals through simple promissory notes secured against the building being purchased but without any liens. Other excellent options may present themselves, so we should be open to looking at those, as well. (See Background Information, Item C.)

4. Financing and purchasing a building is a large undertaking that will require us to make hundreds of decisions between now and the end of August regarding loans, grants, purchase agreements, inspections, and professional services. If we can not make these decisions efficiently, we will not be able to purchase a building (or sign a lease, for that matter), and Noisebridge will be displaced by fall of this year, maybe permanently.

5. Looking at our “API,” the most logical points of contact for cutting checks, entering loan agreements, and signing off on purchases are the board officers: the treasurer, president, and secretary. (See Background Information, Item D.) They have the clear legal authority to enter into agreements on behalf of Noisebridge, and their roles will be clearly understood by people outside of the Noisebridge community.

6. The current board officers must consider whether they have the bandwidth to do all of the work involved in acquiring a new building. If they simply don’t have the time, think someone else would be better suited for the task right now, or would rather spend their Noisebridge time on other important tasks like fundraising, press outreach, party organizing, safe space volunteering, teaching classes, or simply hacking on fun projects, they should pass their title to someone with lots of time and interest in doing paperwork.

7. The board officers of Noisebridge are empowered by consensus to enter into loan agreements and building purchase negotiations on behalf of Noisebridge in the interest of acquiring a suitable building to be our permanent home. Any final lease or purchase agreement will require additional full consensus.

8. Board officers must follow their best understanding of lower-case-c consensus when making decisions. They will be efficient, but not hasty. They will seek feedback on major decisions.

9. Major decisions must not be surprising or unwanted by the community. Board officers must keep everyone as up-to-date on their actions related to the hunt for a new space as possible, given time constraints and the fact that everyone is a volunteer with a day job. At the bare minimum, they will log all of their actions and write a report once a week that can be read at the Tuesday meeting, and shared on NB-Discuss and Slack.

10. As a practical matter, certain details about purchase negotiations may need to be kept off of the public Internet, to avoid being undercut by real estate speculators. For example, we may discover a property listing that has not been posted publicly, and do not want to alert competitors who may bid for the property. Or maybe the city hints that they may offer a city-owned property for sale at a discount, but negotiations are ongoing and it may not be the right time to reveal details to the press. The specific dollar amount of any bid we make when negotiating a building purchase is something else we will probably want to keep offline until the deal is closed.

11. For any details that are kept off of the public Internet, board officers must still flag that the private information exists. They must share that information privately with any member of the community who is interested in good faith, with the proviso that it should be kept from the press and any possible competing bidders.

12. It is expected that a follow-on consensus proposal will outline a vision for what Noisebridge wants and needs in its new home, and that board officers will follow that vision in all of their work.

13. Nothing in this proposal implies that all or even most of the work in acquiring a new space will be done by board officers, or that their voices have more weight in making big-picture decisions. The sole purpose of this proposal is to empower them to make the hundreds of necessary executive decisions to pull this off, and to act as the points of contact for the outside world. The board officers do not make big-picture decisions themselves, but implement the consensus of the community in an efficient way.

14. This proposal does not expand the role of board members or board officers beyond what is necessary to acquire a permanent home for Noisebridge. For example, this consensus proposal empowers a board officer to acquire a $50,000 loan on Noisebridge’s behalf to purchase a new building, but would not empower them to acquire a $50,000 loan to purchase new fabrication equipment once that building is secured.

15. This consensus proposal will automatically expire on December 31, 2018 or after we move into a new building, whichever comes sooner, and would need to be renewed by full consensus.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

A. Noisebridge’s lease will end in August of this year. It has been made clear to us that it will not be renewed under any circumstances.

B. For Noisebridge to survive, we will need to move. Our two options are to raise a lot of money to purchase a building that could serve as our permanent home, or raise a lot of money to sign a lease on a new location. Both options require much more money than we currently have and big new revenue streams.

C. The promissory note fundraising method was successfully pioneered by Alan Beatts, the owner of Borderlands Books, whose customers loaned him $1.3M to purchase a permanent location on Haight Street in amounts ranging from $250,000 to $10,000 per lender. The terms of the note are simple: Borrower pays 3% interest on the principal to the lender once per year, for nine years, with a balloon payment of the entire principal at the end of nine years. There is no penalty for pre-payment. Mr. Beatts has shared the promissory note he used, which we can modify for our own use. He has also offered to introduce us to his real estate broker, lawyer, and accountant, and provide any advice he can, provided we have clear points of contact and an efficient decision-making process.

D. The “administration” of Noisebridge, including our bylaws, nonprofit corporation, board of directors, and board officers, are basically our API for interacting with the outside world. Internally, we make decisions through do-ocracy and consensus. When we need to work with the outside world, we do so via that API. Brief description of the way payments work now: Most of our payments for critical expenses, like rent, utilities, and garbage collection, are automated. Most payments that can not be automated are made by board officers — the treasurer (John Shutt), president (Patrick O’Doherty), or secretary (Victoria Fierce) — either online or by check. In rare cases payments are made by co-founders of the space who have access to our bank account, Mitch Altman or Andy Isaacson. The current board officers are John Shutt (treasurer), Patrick O’Doherty (president), and Victoria Fierce (secretary). The board of directors can choose to retain these three as board officers or appoint different people. When doing so, they should follow the lower-case-c consensus of the community.

== Fun with LEDs ==

=== Let's add one LED to your Arduino breadboard now, and make it blink ===
You can either modify the "Blink" example above to use a different pin, or you can follow another example sketch-

=== Blink without the "delay()" function ===
A slightly more sophisticated technique- load File > Examples > 02. Digital > BlinkWithoutDelay

=== PWM: Pulse-width modulation ===
Use a digital "~" pin to output a signal which dims and brightens using pulse-width modulation (powering the pin for short bursts)
Load File > Examples > 02. Digital > Fading

=== Multiple LEDs at once ===
Now let's add multiple LEDs to your breadboard, and make them blink-

=== Communicating between two Arduinos with Packet Radios ===
Packet Radios! The nRF24L01 is a digital radio chip that Arduinos can use to send and receive data.

Requires two people with an Arduino apiece. Ask Kevin, J, Asim or Joe for a radio module.
