Points of unity / CoC (@L)

Agree on and record some basic points of shared space use. (including storage, cleaning up, organization, "resetting" the space)

Membership (@m) - clarity around self-identified members, for practical (cleaning rotation, yearbook) and philosophical (relationship with the space and goals) reasons

Ventilation Proposals (@m) - writing a proposal for ventilation work, goal to support existing + future activities

Resin Printing (@m) - layout what work is needed and if we should support resin printing in the space

Purchasing Priorities (@m) - ridgewood commons has a budget, let's figure out what needs and wants to address

Last minute additions

Notes

- small history of meetings 

- doing a regular monthly meeting for hackers could be on a tuesday before circuit hack 
^set up circuit hack on red cal! 

- outreach for new ppl - what is it like for people to come down, what is it like for people to enter the space? what can I touch? are we welcoming to ppl (physically ie wood, precarious materials, squeezing around stuff, etc.) 
    - onboarding
    - having the space be welcoming
    - want it to feel like a nice space for new ppl 

- what do 'members' do 
    - self identified members 
    - how do we know what needs to be done 
    - if we want individual responsibility how does it work to ask for it 
    - what does it look like between the hackers and the greater space 

- ^ we've had a lot of conflict about this

- woodshop space usage 
    - maybe strictly defining a space for woodshop to stay inside (tape off spaces?) 

- consensus! consensus! consensus! (we're thinking about it)

- looking at more woodshop waivers 

- TODO lists (have todo lists) 
- QR code for tasks list 

To add to TODO:
    - checklist for circuit hacking 

LP proposes and is moving forward with using money to buy shelves for storage - should cost about $150 - agrees to documenet the plan and the spending

backflow/flooding

    - we might need a backflow prevention system 
    - we need to contact an expert

- start trial consensus decision making NOW (amongst the hackers)
