Shannonclark: idea for mailbox for noisebridge?

A thought - related to the ordering of anything for Noisebridge, should Noisebridge get a mailbox at some local mailbox business? (not certain where the nearest is but I would assume there is at least one with in a few blocks of Noisebridge) I recommend a mailbox service not a PO Box as many companies do not deliver to a PO Box.

I have had a mailbox for every business of mine for many years - exceptionally useful and as investments go, very small (I currently pay $100/year but that is a particularly great deal). If nothing else having someone whose business it is to sign for packages ensures that nothing is ever attempted to be delivered but not or even worse left outside (which I'd hope no delivery service would do in that neighborhood but I've heard many a horror story)

Shannonclark: added question about Safety and Basic Usage classes

for the record, two = one and one = none. there should be two fire extinguishers at every location where there is currently only one. you're not supposed to fight a fire with only one extinguisher.

a thought, should we have some system akin to how [http://techshop.ws/ TechShop] handles letting people use certain types of tools (i.e. in our case chemistry, perhaps the darkroom, perhaps soldering tools) of only after they have taken a course on Safety and Basic Usage (which in TechShop's case is usually 1hr long)?

Shannonclark:

Last night as we were leaving there was a quick discussion about what hooding/exhaust might be needed for the chemistry that is planned. I'm not an expert here so tossing this out - what might be needed?

- the current stove exhaust may (piping material is unknown) have issues depending on what types of fumes are sent up it, however it is located already relatively close to the fish bowl space and does run up to the roof and outside

- what safety items should be present? (type of fire extinguisher, gloves, materials for cleaning up from a chemical accident? - I'm asking because I don't know)

Shannonclark: some items to discuss further before adding to the main page - posters, space ideas, limitations on showing

On the list I suggested that in addition to perhaps charging/requesting a donation for entrance and likely (depending on the space) charging for drinks at the event that Noisebridge as a group consider creating something which is offered at the event.

I suggested posters (likely the size of the posters from The Filmore) but this could be blueprints, t-shirts (though that has sizing issues unless also made on-site). I'd suggest creating something - which could certainly just be given away (much as LaughingSquid always has a poster for each of their annual parties)

I would also suggest that - depending on the space available - some limitation be placed on how many works (or perhaps just how much space) each member gets - with the goal being that as many different members as possible get a chance to show stuff they build and do.

I'll start brainstorming spaces - there may be one right down the street from NoiseBridge - at the corner of 16th & Mission there is a very large I think dance studio on the second floor of that building, might be worth chatting with them sometime.

Also in the Mission there is the Mission Women's Center on 18th St which has a fairly large space (I've been there for an SF Zine fair and the space is fairly large and open - albeit since it is a gymlike space and is indoors probably not welcoming of fire arts.
