== Spending Needs ==
Gotta spend money on XYZ (i.e. Gate, wiring etc.). WHO CAN SIGN THE CHECK OR LEND THE CREDIT CARD!?!?! It doesn't matter if we agree to do something and it can’t be paid for.

== 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 =
== Template... [num]: [topic-short] ==
From/Raised by:
Seeking: decision/outcome/advice/[?]
On Topic:

== Early NB'ers -- Event Proposal ==
From/Raised by: Shannon Lee
Seeking: decision/outcome/advice/[?]
On topic: Looking into planning an event

Another early Noisebridger passed away in August, Hefe (sp). Hoping to have an event pre-fireboat, firing ashes into the bay.

March 8th, Sat, midday. Afternoon or early evening.

(Will set out in a boat at dusk, smaller group.)

Heph, HiMyNameIsThor handle / irc.

Mark added event on Wiki main page to secure time slot. More details will follow

== (discussion item) 2: [topic] ==
From/Raised by: Elan
Seeking: decision/outcome/advice/[?]
On topic: Shutting down our Slack

* Slack is shutting down our permanent free access to archives.
** Needed an invite -- required talking to someone in person, ask someone to ask an admin for account approval.

* (Discourse, IRC, ...)

* Loren -- has made a public export of slack channels
* 1 yr ago, consensus to move discussion off of slack

* Some discussions & activity is still there
** #Laser maintainers (private) -- #rack discussion.
** Bots:  
    
* deprecation notice.  @everyone message -- let's compose.

* Signal -- now supports usernames only

== (discussion item) 2: [topic] ==
From/Raised by: Elle
Seeking: decision/outcome/advice/[?]
On topic: Pie

Build -- in real life -- BuildIRL is part of that ecosystem.

A group in Chicago has pitched BuildIRL to use their platform called PIE that looks like Luma Meetup, etc... to pay people who are throwing free events for every RSVP that pops up on their platform for that event.

So, if NB were throwing something, like say infra meeting, but sent all Meetup folks to this platform (Pie), conceivably, NB could get $10 per head for people who attend.


= Do-ocratic Task Board =
Participation also means doing stuff to contribute to the space. Propose new tasks or pick some tasks from [https://github.com/noisebridge/buildout-capp Github], from what needs to be done around you, or whatever, and see if someone will sign up to work on that task. Anyone can sign up and it's a great way to show you are contributing!
