Soon. <br /> <br /> Ferment Change event, happening at sudo. - Leslie<br /> <br /> All funds are benefiting Fat Beets Produce that has to move from their current location in the next few months. They have have a farm stand once a month. They're a farm stand that has the ability for people in the community to be able to prepare and sell foods. They also work with farmers who are vendors, and run a CSA (community-supported agriculture box service).<br /> <br /> A month of different events. Workshops, co-founder of Fat Beets works on it, lots of stuff there. This weekend is Kimchi making for instance.<br /> <br /> Also the Tour de Ferment which is a homebrew bike tour (two days of it--and it's not even full yet [$20 sliding scale]) Ride around and drink beer all day.<br /> <br /> Contact Leslie (leslieouthier@hotmail.com)<br /> <br /> In the past have had Bougie event that didn't even bring that much money :( -- a sit-down dinner. Now we want to have a potluck....<br /> <br /> AT SUDO ROOM!!!!!!!!11<br /> <br /> Provide rice + salad for vehicles for various homemade foods.<br /> <br /> Real, not funky beer is likely from Lagunitas. OooOooOooooOOOoOOOoOoo<br /> <br /> November 22nd, 6pm - 10pm, acoustic music, workshop demonstrations, etc.<br /> <br /> Aaron Swartz Memorial Hackathon November 8-10, 2013 @ noisebridge - http://aaronswartzhackathon.org/<br /> <br /> Projects: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ai2JAMm86EJbdFg1TW5tenNJSUt3X2dVVmQ3M08xSlE#gid=0<br /> <br /> Theory of Change + Productivity<br /> <br /> BADcamp - Thurs - Sunday Oct 24 - 27, UC Berkeley. http://2013.badcamp.org/<br /> <br /> It's FREE<br /> <br /> Internet Archive event<br /> <br /> just a few days on the 38 geary<br /> <br /> electronic music event in our common space, saturday 10/26<br /> <br /> 2. Articles of Incorporation<br /> <br /> Eddan brought up co-op models and other forms of corporations, based on implicit hierarchy.<br /> <br /> You can't /really/ get rid of the hierarchy, Noisebridge basically just ignores it (as best as possible)<br /> <br /> Eddan also told me (Matt) that he doesn't want to propose an alternative at this time, not worth it at the moment .<br /> <br /> people who can give us advice: http://www.theselc.org/cafe/<br /> <br /> the meeting warmly did not-not-consent to incorporating with the articles<br /> <br /> volunteers to be on sudo's board:<br /> <br /> there should be a discussion about who is on the board, and consensus on a list<br /> <br /> what about nominations? that's the &quot;ask&quot; list. - created after i asked ;)<br /> <br /> Asked: Yar (no, sorry)<br /> <br /> Ask: Troy, Eddan, Marina, Morten, Liberty<br /> <br /> Offered: marc, hol, matt, jenny<br /> <br /> 3. Ensuring that events are aligned with sudo room values<br /> <br /> There was an event in the building that was sponsored by Northrop-Gruman (defense $ contractor), but it was also a local teacher working with students, so there was an opportunity to &quot;convert&quot; them. Two problems:<br /> <br /> 1. info@sudoroom.org sucked. This resulted in a delay.<br /> <br /> 2. Folks didn't see the event posted because of short-notice. <br /> <br /> How do we work on these issues?<br /> <br /> N number of days to event? But this is difficult...<br /> <br /> What's an event, what's not? <br /> <br /> Phone tree - A couple people add their name in case they're interested in vetting events. <br /> <br /> Maybe a &quot;less than 48 hours, make a call&quot;<br /> <br /> Member vetting? Unofficial sudo events might be a good way to think about this. Official only in retrospect.<br /> <br /> Veto power of each member<br /> <br /> Vicky and Marc discussed potentially starting a system on the mailing list to mark [Tags] such as [!] (meaning, read this thing ASAP).<br /> <br /> Action Items:<br /> <br /> * Phone trees - notification of email only.<br /> <br /> Calls / Texts you? - Tom :D<br /> <br /> * Contacts for awesome event collaboration, for feedback on last-minute events<br /> <br /> Timon, Marc, Tom, Matt, Jenny<br /> <br /> Proposal:<br /> <br /> Categories of events we strongly discourage<br /> <br /> events not open to the public (already a long established policy)<br /> <br /> events sponsored by or held by arms manufacturers or defense industry<br /> <br /> possible other categories if they arise - list acknowledged as incomplete<br /> <br /> There won't be extra infrastructure for vetting events but these values will be applied do-o-cratically by the community. To help with this, we strongly encourage tags to be used on the mailing list:<br /> <br /> [event] for events<br /> <br /> [!] for urgent or potentially controversial things<br /> <br /> 4. After- Meeting Teamups <br /> <br /> LPFM / giovanni</div>
