Rubin-<br><br>Perhaps the thread below will give you some context?<br><br>In short, we had a group meeting to discuss Consensus as a topic and we expect to have more. I'd like to let people opt-in to the logistics emails (organizing the date and time of meetings) and any in-depth discussion threads, instead of having those over the entire discuss list.<br>
<br>The requested list isn't intended as a forum for discussion/debate of actual Consensus item. Perhaps a better name is 'Consensus Hacking' to avoid that sort of confusion?<br><br>jared-<br><br><a href="https://www.noisebridge.net/pipermail/noisebridge-discuss/2011-February/020953.html">https://www.noisebridge.net/pipermail/noisebridge-discuss/2011-February/020953.html</a><br>

Subject: Re: Consensus Hacking Meeting, this Friday, 6pm<br>To: NoiseBridge Discuss <<a href="mailto:Noisebridge-discuss@lists.noisebridge.net">Noisebridge-discuss@lists.noisebridge.net</a>><br><br><br>Thanks
to everyone that came to the meeting tonight. We had some good
discussions. I was able to gain a lot more perspective on the history
of the consensus process at Noisebridge. I also feel like I have a
better understanding of why Do-acracy is so prolific at NB. I still
feel like the consensus process is underused, but perhaps feel like
that's not terrible thing.<br>
<br>I didn't facilitate the meeting as actively as I had originally
planned. It seemed better to let the discussion unfold organically
rather than be to formal, but then we ran out of time. However, in
hindsight I wish I had jumped in to make sure we did two things. First,
to consense on plans for any future meetups in this vein. Secondly, to
determine the goals or "points of unity" for future meetups.<br>
<br>The informal consensus at the meeting's end seemed to be that people
were interested in having future meetups, but we didn't discuss things
like frequency or better days/times.<br><br>I've started
non-hierarchical groups before and normally my first point of business
is defining "points of unity". Informally I advertised this meetup as
being about encouraging education, discussion, and improvement of the
consensus process at Noisebridge. Should we meet up again, I would like
to see us formally adopt some points of unity so that the group has a
clear direction on what we are trying to accomplish when we meet up.<br>
<br>I have sent a request to <a href="mailto:rack@lists.noisebridge.net" target="_blank">rack@lists.noisebridge.net</a>
to create a "Consensus" mailing list. Once that is created, I
encourage everyone who came tonight (or wished they could've made it) to
join the list so we can have more in depth discussions which spamming

Just a reminder that this starts tonight at 6pm in the back classroom (Church).<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Feb 9, 2011 at 11:49 AM, Jared Dunne <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jareddunne@gmail.com" target="_blank">jareddunne@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

having a meeting to discuss consensus.<br>
<br>
You should come if you are interested in learning more about<br>
consensus, in hearing tips for being a better participant in<br>
consensus, or in improving the use of consensus at Noisebridge.<br>
<br>
I will facilitate the meeting using consensus, and Al will take notes.<br>
The tentative agenda is to start with quick (2-3 min) talks on our<br>
past experiences using consensus by those who volunteer at beginning<br>
of the meeting. We'll then move into a free form round table<br>
discussion on consensus in general and as it applies to Noisebridge.<br>
Finally, before we leave we should consense on if we would like to<br>
meet again and when.<br>
