<DIV>Buying us a set of rad lockers with your own money, however, is pretty excellent.</DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>

<DIV>Al's enthusiasm and energy to improve NB is excellent. Thank you, Al. </DIV>

<DIV>But, I believe in the long-term, people going off and spending hundreds of dollars, and then asking to get paid back, is not a sustainable fiscal algorythm, were we to apply it to everything. I feel the potential drawbacks to lockers were not adequately discussed beforehand, and undoing it might not be as easy as we think. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I suggest that consistent, transparent processes for expenditures is a lot healthier for our bank account. But not by Consensus: purchases should be decided by working groups (ie the woodshop group). Eg., the community gives a $50/month budget to woodshop, and then the woodshop group decides how to spend it. That would sure be awesome. </SPAN></DIV></DIV>

<DIV>(in response to the suggestion that i ask people for donations for tools: nobody should have to ask people for donations to buy tools -- Noisebridge should provide tools from donations it receives.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I sure hope the idea of consistent processes catches on. </DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
