			=== Discussion: ===
			We discussed scenarios of people visiting Noisebridge -- both people who belong, and people who don't belong at Noisebridge. We also discussed scenarios where it wasn't really clear.

			I gave an example tour of Noisebridge, where others played guests visiting for the first time. Alex Troy video-ed this example:<br>
			[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6Ea_jCQEFg Example Noisebridge Tour video]<br>
			Alex also transcribed this video:<br>

			Alex also created a general outline of how to give a Noisebridge Tour:<br>
			[[How_to_give_a_tour_of_Noisebridge\|How to give a tour of Noisebridge]]

			Giving a tour of Noisebridge is a great way for everyone who comes to Noisebridge to find out what Noisebridge is about, and what it is not about. This passes on knowledge of the culture of Noisebridge to everyone, so the culture stays alive and vibrant over time.

			After the example tour, we did role playing, where different people took turns acting out scenarios where a Greeter meets a visitor (some who belong, some who don't belong, and some who aren't quite clear).

			=== Discussion: ===
			To begin discussion of implementation of Greeters and open/closed hours, we started by reading the meeting notes from last weeks Greeter Committee meeting, which was a summary of what why we need Greeters, open/closed hours, and the basic ideas of how the Greeters will work.

			All agreed that what we just read was is a really good start, and that we need to work on some specifics, which we'll address as we move along.

			All Greeters will have RFID cards (or their Clipper card, if they have one), so they can open and close Noisebridge using Henner's system (once it is implemented).

			We also agreed that Greeters have some power that can be abused, and therefore there needs to be means of redress for when Greeters mess up, as all people do from time to time. It must be made publicly known that Greeters are human, and will mess up, and that Greeters all want to cop to their shit, and make it right (even if it's not always easy).

			We brainstormed ideas for how to schedule Greeters' shifts so that Greeters don't burn out, don't feel overburdened with responsibility to the point where they will drift away if they miss a shift, but still feel enough responsibility to keep their shifts filled. We talked about a way cool system would be great to have: a system that learns Greeters' schedule of times when they are at Noisebridge, and then automatically asks them if they would like to be a Greeter at times when they are likely to be at Noisebridge. But, to start things off, we will keep it simple, and use Doodle to choose 4-hour shifts so that there are Greeters at the door of Noisebridge for all hours for which Noisebridge is open to the public.

			To distinguish Greeters at a glance, we decided to have special blue T-shirts. It would also be nice at some point in the future to have some geeky name badge as well.

			Since one of the roles of Greeters is handling problem situations, we talked about how to train ourselves to be well prepared for handling problem situations, and decided to have the first role-playing sessions this coming Monday at 7pm. (We chose Monday instead of Tuesday because Mitch is leaving town for 3 weeks starting next Tuesday.)

			=== The agenda for the upcoming Monday Greeters Committee meeting 1-Sept-2014, 7:00pm: ===
			* Role playing problem situations so that we are all are as prepared as possible for various problem situations.
			* Collect T-shirt sizes for the special Blue Greeter T-shirts.
			* Start a Doodle for the first week's Greeter shift schedule.
			* And maybe pick a date to start Greeters at the door (along with open/closed hours)?

			Mitch.
