<blockquote>Being a member of Noisebridge is not like being a member of a gym or your local chess club. Anyone can come to Noisebridge to hack and learn: you don't need to be a member for that. At Noisebridge, membership is something different: it means taking responsibility and committing to help to maintain, improve, and govern Noisebridge. As a member of Noisebridge, you don't just come here to hack and learn, you actively work to improve what you see around you, help to deal with problems, and make this community better than it is today.</blockquote>
* Read off any names from the binder for the past month. Write a check on every open application.
* Anyone eligible to join this week should
** introduce themselves,
** answer any questions members may have for them, then
** leave the area in search of gifts (traditionally beer and a lime, or cookies) for the rest of the group.
* The rest of the meeting should reach consensus on whether they may join.
* Remember to applaud new members when they return.

Monad thinks this place is an interesting experiment. He is applying for membership.
Sean is applying for membership as well. Just waiting for people to vouch for membership. Two signatures is min, more os better.
Sean is a long time it tech vet. security, sysadmin. multicolored head gear. "this is an extremely cool collection of talent and ideology"

awesome.

== Financial Report ==
* Funds in bank:
* Noisetor (See the bulletpoints at the bottom of http://noisetor.net/finances/#summary):

You may wish to '''invite a knowledgeable volunteer to repeat '''[[Consensus Process|a brief primer on the consensus process]].

=== Proposals from last week ===

''(Add any items which pass or are blocked to the [[Consensus Items History]] page.)''

=== Proposals for next week ===

''(Add any new items for consensus to the [[Current Consensus Items]] page.)''

== Discussion Items ==

If an item of discussion drags on too long, further discussion may be postponed until after the meeting ends.

During discussion, it is not necessary to write down exact what each person says. Record the topics of discussion, and any items of consensus or controversy here. Detailed descriptions of the conversation should go on the discuss page for this meeting.

Should we (more formally) formalize the way we introduce new ppl to the dangerous equipment in the shop? ~hipe

Also, door buzzer? ~hipe

currently no door buzzer at the door. buzzer was removed because it was loosened from cable ties. someone may have clipped wire. want to fix buzzer. does anyone else want to help?

Ashin also working on buzzer. faceplate in storage.

some time ago there was a method for allowing the buzzer to open the door upon depression. It was only used for mass events. but for some reason that circuit doesnt work. during 5mof and circuit hacking, what is the state of the door buzzer?

buzzer is landlords responsibility. but we broke it. we did/did not? get permission to screw around with buzzer.

most likely expired.

the original birth of the box, it was birthed by the landlord.

there was also some jerry rigging of a mouse.

1. the last person who worked on the buzzer said the problem was originating at the place where the sound was made.
2. this is a very important place to discuss this.

'''how to fix problem: stand in front of the buzzer with a tool in your hand and try to look intelligent. '''

end of discussion

people messing with keycodes and stuff should nt mess with this. what are their names? they should geton the build list.

more to say about buzzer. there are rumors about who cut the line.

it costs about 50 bucks to run to the dump. is anyone interested in helping with the removal of waste from noisebridge? this is with a zip car. somebodys mother had a truck that she would kindly let us use to move our garbage from on place to another

The police were called yesterday.

Also, should there be an ongoing nominal fund for first aid kits? ~hipe

Za would like to talk about violence at noisebridge

on redord: he would rather eat his fingers than come toecause recipient is /o one of these meetings

yesterday za came to nb got a face full of violence.

not a hacker. not a radical pacifist.

would like to put notions on the table as to what violence is

someone orders another to do something= violence. because recipient is without choice
someone asks another to leave= non-violence because they still have agency

imposing sense of aestheitic on another is not good. za observed people imposing aesthetic on another through violence. we should discuss protocol for what to do in the face of violence.

should we use violence to describe when a person tells someone else to do something?

community discussion about incident that had transpired.

what the fuck happened:
by james

was in space teaching sysadmin calss. Cynthis was in the space, she spends a lot of time in kitchen, associates with occupy movement. arrived through elevator and two members immediately confronted her and told her that she was not a good part of the community. this was not a space for her to be at for any arbitrary reason. they wanted her to leave and come back during this meeting. she did not want to leave. the situation became more tenuous. someone decided that they needed to call the police. the police ended up coming and removed her from the building and it was awkward. Miloh talked her down. jesse was talking to her., members were talking to her. eventually i went on for a really long time.

done. questions?

jesse was one of the poepleinvolved. was part of decision to call police. it was very stressful situation. no one wanted to heighten the situation. could have handled without calling police. now we are developing better tools to handle this type of situation without calling the poilice.

Za came in the door. cynthis was next to door. jesse and weave wanted her to leave right there and then. za wanted to be agnostic, but assumed that she had something violent. but that was not the case. tried to moderate. cynthis asked interrigators why she was being kicked out. violence was not an issue. got whole list of issues, asked guys to back off and za will talk with her. caution is the better part of valor . retreat, come abck tomorrow. she did not want to be a pushover. that was a need, she did not want to allow herself to be trampled on. Za thinks people were using force to get her out of here because of her aesthetics.

It did not sound like there was a particular action taht resulted in people asking her to leave. it was a do-ocratic banning. in the past, this is tradditionally discussed in meetings. she has a role, she may be annoying and mentially ill, but that is not a reason to kick her out.

reasons you might get kicked out: being violent, creepy, scary.

does not like that it was not discussed and that people called the cops into the space.

when i first came up to cynthia,impression from initial discussion from jessee that she was there was a discussion taht had taken place. she was very aggressive and in your face.

there has been a lot of discussions on this subject. on the discuss list. but she may not have been aware of this.

called police, told cynthia that police were called. about an our later they arrived. there were about 7 people around her arguing. she locked herself in the toilet. a police woman had to talk her out. cynthia asked to talk with miloh, they didm then he walked her out.

situation did not seem safe for anybody involved. The best time to call police is before this type of situation escalates.

there was a huge meeting before 5mof in the church classroom discussin taht this is not a resource center to use the internet or a place to come and find shelter. How do we get the poeple who are not using the space for what its for, how do we get them out of the space in a comfortable, do-ocratic way. (indirect quote from mitch?)

what i think about cynthia is irrelivant. what the main this is how do we cultivate open space.
question: to waht extent was she notified that she is not welcome?
people have talked with her, but she may have not received that information/

would she go get coffee with miloh to talk about how she is not welcome?

she may have put noisebridge down as her space for residence.

she was never told to leave perminately. she was told to leave now and come back to get a better understanding of the situation.

look at the mediation and conflict resolution pages on the wiki

what do we want to achieve in this discussion? this is a problem that we run into often. people are not contributing, people do not appreciate, but nobody acts on it until there is an incident.

people dont like situation, eventually someone do-ocratically boils over and band someone.

used to think this was totally wrong. but this may be the only catalyst that keeps people from being passive aggressive and inactive.

what if two people try and tell eachother to leave the space?

should we make a formal acceptance process to avoid the situation. that is the opinion of one individual.

there could be a lower threshhold for non-members to get a lesser membership.

What are definitions for what is a "hacker" because it basically boils down to a popularity contest. what are signals that can show people that they are about to get kicked out? there is a culture of fear at noisebridge. people have fear based projects. people are really afraid of being kicked out so they start these fear based projects. and the third thing: cynthis was accused of being overbearing and using authority to control the kitchen.

one time race said it was members only time at 2am

Cyntia should not come back to the space because her behavious is not excellent, does not try to be more excellent, and does not understand how her actions are unexcellent

[redacted]

indirect response to previous statement: this place is for education and collaboration.

1) is it appropriate for people in this space to decide taht someone else should be here, not because they are violent, but because they are not good for the space? if people are degrading the quality of the space, consistently over time, that person can be asked to leave. it was appropriate to ask her to leave.
2) was this the best way? no. it was the bay of fucking pigs. the only positive result was that cynthia wasnt here anymore. there were cops.

the above perception of the general concensus is not completely right. its about 80% right. if someone is part of the community and someone decides to do-ocratically ban an individual, then lots of poeple will be angry. the best thing to do is to bring it up at a meeting.

other discussion items: (omg, no)

someone got drunk and started throwing things. immediate safety was violated and person was physically removed. we have mediation methods for this and they should be used outside of the meeting

did we not just have an hour long talk on how to remove crazy homeless women who just want to clean the kitchen? drunk people throwing things and making threats on peoples personal safety is a reason to call the cops... but he left on his own accord.

Also, 6-7 workstations and tons of servers are potentially available. power inefficient. 5 years old. 2 have intel dual core graphics cards. could be used for laser cutter, cnc. also lots of scuzzy drives. or something you know what i mean.

if we dont want any of this, there is a loving home where it can go. It would be cool to give hacker moms a first pick because they are a new space. we dont really have policies around this, but public terminal tend to get beat up. 3 public terminals set up in past, used for facebooking (not hacking) (social hacking?)

it would be cool if we could get a better machine for the laser cutter. What do we do with the servers. Dan, the kid with the roller blades said we could do something with them.

It would be a great idea to email rack list. figure out what their opinion is. servers represent liability because we dont want to host poeples web sites here.

servers draw more energy, we dont really need them. if desired you can VM a server and it will work just fine.

in conclusion: hacker moms get first dibs. If we could get machines for laser cutter, cnc that would be cool.

background: hackerspace in ann arbor they had liability release form. flashback to yesterday: youre in a room. theres 150 poeple. college kids in room want to make a thing. they have pliers on a bolt. they strip it. next thing you know the bolt is stripped AND reverse threaded. We do not have any mechanism to train people on proper power tool use. poeple in the shop should be aware that these are dangerous machines. propose: we need to be certified to use these machines. noisebridge token or facebook credits or sometjing

tech shop does not face these same legal issues.

this topic could benefit from discussion list. not any clear solutions. but its a good discussion

Eric has taken on a role in the shop. has experience. repaired tools, educates people who use the tools. open to communicating with people who are interested in this area.

four basic rools:
no lose clothing
always use giude to push piece
dont use your hands
always turn off when youre done
always wear goggles.

BUT theres no rules at nosebridge. maybe we could look at these as recommendations.

In the past, there was a safety committee. but it died. we cant really stop pepople from being damned fools, but we could have signs. if we had a sign at the entry way that says " by coming in you agree that you are responsible for your own safety. as you should be anywhere in this world.

whats at stake here? steak? we dont want a personal injusy lawsuit taht could end nbz as we know it.

we have really nice insurance and plenty of warnings about how this place could potentially be dangerous to your health.
NBURLs for every piece of equipment. videos of how to use stuff. would be great for learning

legality? we cant make poeple sign forms because we cant monitor whos using the shop. we can give warnings before people go in but theres no guarantee that "we" can watch them as they go in.

sign: "please read every sign when youre here"

killer rating: probability taht this machine will kill you. for example, 4.3

someone cut themselves. it was a gusher. they needed medical paraphernalia. and didnt know where to find it. they went to the kit at pillar 7 but the supplies had been ravaged. we need standards for what is in a medical kit. rachel spent a long time trying to get the first aid kit more functional

it is a reasonable thing to spend money on? in reference to a medical kit.

this is something that a collection would be appropriate.

(someone donates $20 on the spot)

were going to talk with rachel about the needs for this kit.

also, proper layout for fire extinguishers and medkits and stuff. this has been started but its not finished

people seem to be into this. New safety committee!?

theres a wiki page about safety committees somewhere on the wiki. from a really long time ago.

prospective members name's get called and if they are present the membership form gets another check mark on its way to being a major supporter of noisebridge (IE A noizemember)

jon-jaq brings up community thrift account opportunity...

* Funds in bank:
* Noisetor has $3565.45 in savings and is spending about $787/month and burning 500Mbps
Noisetor is Noisebridge's project to accept tax-deductable donations for USA donors that go towards setting up add'l exit nodes in the USA. More nodes will be added as month to month funds increase

We discuss Fiscal sponsorship for the ZiP zine: enabling fundraising from tax deductable and avoiding fees from paypal are benefits of fiscal sponsorship
for more info look at fiscal sponsorship (add links here)
there is agreement to resolve to discuss this further and make sure the treasurer is present. R.A.Y.C brings up the idea of funding from local redev grants. Leif counters that we should not be in the habit of relying on grants -- because noisebridge is member and donation supported and grants could change the direction. deb brings up the possibility of looking for smaller grants that allow nonprofits to retain independance and member driven focus.

secretary-adjunct brings up the $300 funding request for electronics area improvements

== Agenda ==
* Finalize the incorporation, sign papers approving Bylaws, etc.
* write down the membership plan including suggested monthly dues so we can present it to the members in time to give them at least SOME discussion time
* Solve the *current* key issue to the best of our ability. I'd like to talk about transitive trust, etc.
* Work on a plan for consensus (in meetings and inter-board).
* Come up with a way to ensure meetings do not introduce new topics to be decided on the spot (per Rachel's request). Hopefully we can also come up with a format for meetings that we can all agree upon (no railroading, ensuring people are heard, etc).
* Discuss insurance issues.
* Resolve our interpersonal differences if possible (it seems possible to me).
* Air all of our grievances of the last few days.

SarahEmm: Fixing table formatting.

Sponsor a day at Noisebridge, and you get to name it! It's like a brick, but it's a day.

$165, anonymous is okay, just name the day below, and then give the money to someone responsible looking, who will put their name in the "accepted by" column.

Any day which has been named, but doesn't yet have an "accepted by" filled in, is still fair game. Disputes will be resolved by fisticuffs or flamewar.

MeritBadges

== Introduction ==

The idea behind the Merit Badge system is to create a bootstrap path for people seeking to learn practical, technical subjects relatively quickly. It is intended to be organic and non-limiting, while simultaneously providing a small amount of basic structure.

Initially, Merit Badges are intended to convey entry-level competency: after completing the requirements for a given badge, it is intended that the student should then be capable of taking on projects in that discipline in a more or less self directed manner. Several groups of Badges have been grouped together into "clusters"; in this case, the Student should, after completing the required badges, finish a Cluster by completing an original project with the help of their SME.

Each Merit Badge had three essential components:

* '''Goals''' -- Each Merit Badge provides a specific set of goals or requirements; generally these consist of between 5 and 10 points, many of which will have some number of component sub-requirements. These requirements are meant to be a guide which will provide a hands-on introductory tour of the discipline in question.

* '''Reference Material''' -- Each Merit Badge should have a corresponding set of articles, videos and/or links to guide the student through the above Goals.

* '''Subject Matter Experts''' -- Each Merit Badge will have a list of local Subject Matter Experts, people who are willing and able to provide mentoring and directin to the learning experience. The SMEs are also responsible for "signing off" that the student has completed each requirement.

== The Process ==
In a nutshell:

# Decide on a merit badge or cluster. All Badges are entry-level and assume no prior competency in the subject matter (although your SME may have a preferred order within each cluster).
# Read the requirements and familiarize yourself with at least the basic structure of the reference material.
# Contact an SME associated with that Badge and tell them that you're working on this Badge. They may or may not wish to meet with you and discuss your planned progress.
# As you complete goals, have your SME sign off on them; this may be done on the wiki or by printing out the Merit Badge requirements page.
# Help your SME mentor one other person.

== Status & Needs ==
The NoiseBridge Merit Badge Scheme should currently be considered ALPHA QUALITY. Contributors and collaborators are actively sought in the form of:

* Subject Matter Experts -- If you feel like you have expertise to share, consider signing up to be an SME! Pick a merit badge you feel qualified to help with, or create one in your area of expertise.
* Merit Badge Creators -- These are the basic set of Merit Badges I came up with after talking it over with a couple of potential SMEs. This list should by no means be considered authoritative; please feel free to create a new one.
* Reference Writers -- Each Merit Badge page should have a certain amount of reference material. At a bare minimum, each page should have links to recommended material available elsewhere on the internet. Anyone who feels up to it should feel free to write up documentation to match the requirements for a particular badge.
* People with Art Skills should feel free (actually, should feel begged) to come up with graphics for each badge. A good idea might be to start by creating a template image (in the shape of the noisebridge logo-thing, for example) and then customizing per badge.
* Random People with Opinions -- feel free to drop [[User:Turkshead|me]] a line or grab me at a meeting.

== Creating a New Badge ==
I anticipate that there will be lots more badges in the near future. If you feel that your interest isn't recommended here, I implore you, write up the badge you want to see. Please, however, don't create requirements unless you feel comfortable acting as the SME for the badge you're creating; if a badge you want to *earn* isn't here, you'll need to find (or become!) an expert to help you create a set of goals.

Goals should consist of 5 to 10 items, which may have sub-items; for example, the Foo Badge might have goals in the form:

# Explain the injuries that can befall you while Fooing. Describe first aid for those injuries.
# Demonstrate the ability to Foo a Bar and a Baz. Explain the difference, and when each is appropriate.
# Complete TWO of the following projects:
## Qux
## Quux
## Quuux
# Recite RFC 3092 from memory.
# Fnord fnord fnord
# Prevent Eve from Fooing Alice and Bob in all the following cases:
## Eve works for Isaac
## Eve works for Justin
## Eve is an agent of Justin, pretending to work for Isaac
## Eve is Bob's ex-wife
## Eve is a friend of Dorothy
# Hello World

The first alpha-quality badge should soon be available as [[MeritBadges/KnotsAndSplices|Knots and Splices]].

* [[Moving/2169_Mission/Budget|Move-in Budget]]
* [[Moving/2169_Mission/Access_Control|Access control]] on our floor is by your existing noisebridge key. All locks except for the glass front doors (which are usually unlocked) have been rekeyed to be the same as at 83c.

= Visits =
* Initial visit: 2009-07-10

= Moving Checklist =

If we do move into 2169, these things should be done.

== before September 1st ==
* notify Ahuva Jolish (83C landlord) that we will be vacating as of the end of September and not going month-to-month on our 83C lease.

== T-14 ==
* Contact insurance agents. Ask for quotes of $1MM general liability insurance (or whatever lease terms want). Current insurance is MIF Insurance, agent Pauline Nagata.
* Set up utilities for new space: trash, water, electricity, internet

== T-7 ==
* Set up cancellation date for Internets at 83c.

== T-0 ==
We have the keys! Moving day!

* Move all objects from 83c to 2169.
* Readdress the machines at 2169 Mission from 192.168.3.0/24 to 172.30.0.0/24.

== T+1 ==

* Update the wiki's front page to remove references to 83c and add pointers to the new space.
* Double-check that no items are left at 83c.
* Clean up 83C to bring it back to "normal wear & tear" so we get our deposit back.
* Change the lock on 83c.

= Features =
* 12ft ceilings (approx)
* 5600sf quoted
* 3500lb freight elevator available from lobby
* $3600/mo 3yr lease quoted
* available now, would like us to move in 2009-08-01 or 2009-08-15; negotiable, but there's another tenant who is willing to start 2009-10-01 so if we don't preempt we lose the space.
* family owned, we talked to the son (seems like a nice guy with his shit together), they live in SF
* three stairwells plus front fire escape
* third floor of 3, 8 skylights (currently painted over), full floor
* access stairway shared with 2nd floor (which houses a garment manufacturing operation), with security gates on each floor.
* landlords OK with our membership structure and access philosophy
* no PGE gas lines in bldg
* concrete pillars with apparently wood frame floors (floor finished in mix of wood, linoleum, and tile)
* former sewing factory, tons of electrical distribution & comes with several Jukis!
* windows on Mission and on rear
* two tiny bathrooms
* many 8ft walls separating space are easily removed as we desire
* a few small full-height rooms, we would want to build out to our spec
* roof appears to be in reasonable shape
* roof access is through the space, available for antennas / repairs but not for general access (no roof deck or hottub)
* no HVAC
* has installed sprinklers, the landlord is going to have them serviced and certified before move-in
* utilities, garbage, etc are responsibility of tenant
* we are welcome to take out the existing dividing walls and build to suit

= Crime =
A search on [http://www.sfgov.org/crimemaps SF's crime map] of the area on Mission St between 16th St and 18th St (but largely not including 16th BART) has 51 incidents over the past 30 days:

6 assaults, 33 narcotics/drugs, 2 larceny/theft, 5 robberies, 3 vandalisms, and 2 vehicle thefts.

(I searched within 500 feet of the intersection of Mission St & 17th St which gave a near-perfect radius encompassing the walk from BART to this address, estimating the additional crime exposure we would have between this place and 83c)

= Questions =
* are property taxes responsibility of owner or of tenant? (is the lease [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_net_lease NNN]?)
** ''A copy of the proposed lease is in 83C in one of the membership binders in the kitchen cabinet. From my (Rachel's) reading of it, it's not triple Net; property taxes are not mentioned. We would be required to carry insurance but not, IIRC, against building issues. But we should doublecheck these things.''
* is there a water heater?
* is there Comcast in the building?
** Comcast service is available for the building. Matt Petersen mentions no wiring in the MPOE but this can be fixed.
* what kind of ventilation is there for a kitchen, a shop, a photolab, and any other project that would require it?
** ''the front and rear window walls are easy to ventilate through. There are not vents in the roof and installing them would require a contractor -- not impossible, but a bit expensive. [[User:Adi|Adi]] 23:05, 10 July 2009 (PDT) ''
* how easy will it be to bring bikes in and out?
** ''Up two flights of stairs to the space, through a doorway. Easy to install bike racks as we choose. [[User:Adi|Adi]] 23:05, 10 July 2009 (PDT)''
* what are the electric and water bills of the last tenant for a few months? we'll have less electricity use most likely but possibly more water.
* is the space wheelchair accessible?
** ''There is a freight elevator that goes from the street level to the space. It may or may not be ADA compliant, but as a practical matter it will enable wheelchair users to get upstairs.'' [[User:Adi|Adi]] 20:57, 12 July 2009 (PDT)
* is the elevator locked? Is it the sort of setup where a person who needs the elevator would have to call someone to bring the elevator down and up again from some alleyway? (as is the case at the Jon Sims Center) --[[User:Lizzard|Lizzard]] 16:16, 4 August 2009 (PDT)

* who pays for elevator maintenance?
** The landlords pay for elevator maintenance.
* how high can the lights be moved? (e.g. probably some code restriction from the sprinklers)

= Detailed notes =

* Floor ([[User:Saizai|Sai Emrys]])
** deep gouge next to bathroom; possible water damage / rot
** rat hole in wall next to rear staircase
** large hole and water damage along base of exterior wall next to roof ladder
** many broken kitchen tiles
** wood floors throughout are sagging and uneven; possibly indicates damage to between-beams floor support structure
** water damage on wood floor next to DJ booth
** paper-mache covering base of one of large vertical pipes near roof ladder; possibly covering damage? doesn't seem like a good fix

A key

2010-11-15T18:47:08Z

SarahEmm: Updating to reflect non-83c-ness.

The Noisebridge version A key is a 5 tumbler Schlage warded key. The pin code is not given directly here as a deterrent. The pin code is (from tip to shoulder):

The five digit integer corresponding to the definite integral of the square function from 0 to 50.23148.

This key was used at 83c Wiese and is currently used at 2169 Mission.
