</div>While I of course totally support your agenda, could you maybe do it<br>
in another timeslot? Some of us are required to attend the meeting for<br>
treasury reasons and like to get back to our homes in the east bay at<br>
a reasonable hour because we work full time and really need to stop<br>
showing up at noon and having to stay till 8pm and oh gee, lookit the<br>
time. I need to go to work.<br></blockquote><div><br>Honestly, I overstated a bit how hard it was to have a meeting (For instance, no-one was nominated to get thrown out. Basically, I try to be accurate in these meeting notes about everyone else, but may mess around a bit when it's about what *I'm* doing/saying/thinking.)<br>
<br>If there are no points for discussion and consensus, and no new folk who haven't been at a meeting, we can bang through the key points, which are the financial data and the member's binder pretty quickly. Everything else is mostly either "introduction to noisebridge" boilerplate, which we can also switch to the end if need be. Anything that causes people to rush through meeting to get back to the fun stuff I think is good.<br>

Maybe we should have the membership meeting at 7 and have<br>
awesomefuntimes afterwards?<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>I am egoistically sympathetic to this suggestion -- it would mean that I could more easily do it when it's a schoolday and I have Ada, and it gives more time to write up notes etc afterwards. <br>
<br>Realistically it would be hard work to cat-herd all the public statements we've made about it though, and I also think it would require consensus to make a significant change.<br><br>Let's mull it some more, and if it's not too controversial, perhaps you and I can propose it for consensus in a future week, and see if we can get agreement. I don't want to hurry into proposing it though -- we should let show and tell settle down for a few weeks first. I *did* like Show & Tell before the meeting if it's not going to delay things consistently, and 6.30 seems too early for an earlier event. Having Show & Tell afterwards I think wouldn't feel the same; part of the strategy for S&T is to put people into a happy, productive hackery mood before the meeting, and that seemed to work well last week.<br>
