[Noisebridge-discuss] Are shelves for members only?

[jim]

   per shannon at last night's meeting, there is no 
horse's mouth on this topic. shannon's as much of a 
NB historian as any, so i buy that there's no 
"authority" that we can search. 
   i care about NB survival. 
   it seems to me that NB may be too indulgent in 
its policies and expectations, though i'm not sure 
what's right. i'm open to ideas and mildly lean 
toward 
* members get keys to the place; others don't 
* members get shelf space, others don't 
* members get..., others don't 
   in other words, improve the benefits of paying 
money to support the place. 

   some have noted that membership dues are not tax 
deductible and do not qualify for matching employer 
(or other) donations. a couple of people who've 
backed out of membership in favor of making 
donations are no longer around, and i suspect that 
membership itself helps to keep involvement. 

   i like shannon's suggestion that if people put 
some shelving up somewhere in the space, they can 
put their names on one of the shelves. this idea 
doesn't mention membership, but i buy it anyway.
