[edit

]Safe Space

Torrie - Noisebridge is a safe space. This means not necessarily that
oyu're protected from reality while you're here, but psychological and
physical safety. If you're gonna make loud noises, you tell people to put
on hearing protection so nobody gets hurt. Same with phsychological safety.
If you're gonna talk about sensitive topics, prepare the people around for
it. This lets people hack in peace without being distracted by
psychological distractions. Unwanted romantic advances on other people are
unwelcome, and there is an anti-harassment policy which is spelled out on
the columns and on the fridge.

What happens if you feel unsafe? We have Slack, which is the best way to
get in touch. If something is wrong/dangerous/uncomfortable, go to the
#spaceguardians channel and mention that a problem is occurring, and people
will help you solve it, because here at noisebridge we take care of each
other.
[edit

]Participation

J - The best way to get access is to hang out and be excellent, hack with
others, make cool things, help keep the space clean and protect it. Fellow
hackers are watching for people who are excellent and

Nb is a safe space.. inclusive as possible.. somtimes that means excluding

space. If you're making someone uncomfortable or vice versa, ask them to
leave. Go to #space-guardians on SLACK to report transgressions! If you
don't feel comfortable confronting the person, just use the
#space-guardians channel.

= Participation =

Steve: Noisebridge is open to everyone. You don't have to be a member or
philanthropist to come here and and use all of our cool stuff (except the
laser cutter!) from 11am-11pm. We're all collectively responsibile for the
space. If someone rings the doorbell, you can let them in. If you can't or
don't want to let them in, don't.

= [[Philanthropist|Philanthropists]]=
Philanthropy is a way of saying I am involved and want to be more active
and take more responsibility for the space and donate on a regular basis.
In exchange you get loads of responsibility and 24/hr card access.
To be one, you fill out a form, someone vouches for you who is a member,
and then one meeting happens (that you have to be at) and people okay it.
James and..someone else is applying today.
Read their names and their answer, members are allowed to block.

== Philanthropy Applicants: ==
* Drew - has been endorsed by Victoria, and (informally) Steve
* James - needs a sponser, someone volunteered for next meeting

= [[ Membership Binder ]] =

Membership is similar, but the names get read at 4 meetings and you get two
people to vouch for you. Membership means you have magical powers like your
brain
