= Excellence =
'''Our One Rule is to Be Excellent to Each Other.'''
(On first Tuesdays, seek a few definitions. Other Tuesday, give a 1-3 sentence summary.)

When you see something that is very dangerous or perehaps hastily put away, trying to improve on it.

I think it is excellent to be curious about what others are working on and introduce yourself to others! Get to know your community!

Excellence entails creating a space that is fair to everyone who uses it! Fairness is base level excellence. Replace things you use, etc etc

It is excellent to consume snacks from the bar area and donate for them!

What does that mean? Please see our page on excellence https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Excellence! 

== Anti-Harassment Policy & Community Standards of Excellence ==
Noisebridge has an [[Anti-Harassment Policy]] https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Anti-Harassment_Policy
Everyone is expected to follow the Anti-Harassment Policy, please familiarize yourself with it.) TWO MINUTES MAX
More approachable & specific guidelines, https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Community_Standards
https://safespace.noisebridge.net/ is one way to quickly raise issues which will be seen by people in Slack.

== Brief Kudos ==
Recent examples of excellent behavior, say 3, unless the passion moves you.

To Ken for making headway on the wall!

To Loren and Cloud for running meeting last week!

Kudos to Brian and Ken for handling trash yesterday!

To Ruth for fixing the laser filter! Thanks Ruth!

Harrison, who has been fixing 3d printers with one of our long time maintainers! Quiet (at least not at meetings / not known to many) members, showing up and doing their thing.


= Guilds =
* '''What are [[guilds]] - briefly describe''' (much like the previous section on "Excellence")

= New Members/Associate Members =
What are they? Is anyone trying to become a Member or Associate Member? If not move on. No long discussions.

...membership

== Blue, associate member application ==
Who's your sponsor?  Ken

Mark, why would you like to be an associate member?  [I want to recognition for continuing contributions and ]


How have you been helping to maintain the space recently?


What does noisebridge need to do next?  What could you help us to do to improve the space?

I believe that in creative teaching, you teach people not projects, but tools. 


Circuit hacking Monday -- Mohammed -- let's ask the community. 

== Ms Judy, Associate Member Applicant ==
Mark is sponsoring. Elan expresses willingness. Ken does as well. 

Why?
Rather than us constantly ringing the doorbell. We, the writers group, including the other 3 moderators, would be connected to me in that.

Key sharing, access setup aside.

Curt (sp), Monya

Sunday -- work party -- for wall building.  Ken wants help, especially with moving out project from woodshop storage, to 


We're discussing wall design. 

People wish 

We're building according to the plan. Fire safety prevents doors from opening into the hallway, it needs at least 22 inches clearance with the doors fully open.  We may want services doors on the proposed east wall of the woodshop (west end of the building is the back stairwell). 

Title 24. (SF? CA?)  Handicap access. Intl Business Code.


[[Meeting_Notes_2024_07_02#Spending_Needs]] previous budget mention.

It's a partition wall, it wont have power at least.
From an inspector, we have a verbal license to begin, understanding that we do construction according to code.
