[Noisebridge-discuss] Proposal: Discounted full-year dues

[Shannon Lee]

Hi All,

This idea has been brought up at several meetings now and no satisfactory
resolution reached, so obviously it's time to expand the conversation!

The specific proposal brought up last night was this:

If you pay your dues a year at a time, you can knock $20 off. Or one month's
dues off. Or some amount of money.

Many perspectives were voiced on this.  I think it's a good idea; others
disagreed, primarily because, as we do not have a real accounting system,
this amounts to counting a year's dues as this month's revenue.

Again, I think this is a good idea, for the following reasons:

* it could help with our current cash cruch
* it means that people who get very excited about noisebridge for just long
enough to be members and then never show up again have the opportunity to
pay a whole year's membership upfront
* the economic value of a bird in one's hand is double that of a bird in a
bush

Thoughts?
