Small C consensed

Make an event in discord and have Zack lead the effort

== Fundraising Update ==
'''How's it all going'''

= Big C Consensus Items =
Nobody likes 3 hour meetings, only explain if new people are present. https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Current_Consensus_Items

== [[ Consensus Items ]] ==
Only for talking about Big C consensus items, small c consensus items should be discussed with people at the space at the time of the change/new item.

= Discussion Items =
== Discussion Item 0: money for lockpicks for a class ==
From/Raised by:jd
Seeking: decision/outcome/advice/[?]all of the above
On topic:
    
    Notion came about that we should have a lockpicking class. Beginning pickers destroy picks. I want some, bc i dont want to hand over all my good ones. Want to get a bunch of 5-10$ sets to be included with the cost of the class.
    
Looking for pre-approval to spend about 100$. Then I'll determine the size of the class and we'd go from there.

== (discussion item) 1: Pico W Python ==
From/Raised by: Hamilton
Seeking: decision/outcome/advice/[?]
On topic:
    I'd like to discuss hosting a Pico-W Python class for homeschool kids (and others who would like to attend) on Monday's at 3 PM in the upstairs working area near the windows if possible. 
    
    We did tis class last semester at Noisebridge downstairs. Taking Pico.W (its like a specific raspberry pi) and doing a set of pre-canned Python lessons with them. 1 Hour lesson. Then at 4 we'd go out and go to the Sycamore and play board games.

Would like to use the upstairs front area in the space for it for the fall semester.

Mark: Seems like there's no space conflict. Should be good to do it. Create the wiki page and put it on the calendar!
