Andy.

I believe that we have made the best effort we can, through Rebase, to
achieve general agreement (or community buy-in) on the kitchen
proposal and that the changes we are making are excellent and fall
under do-ocracy.

The entire project, minus some minor modifications discussed at last
nights Rebase meeting, is here:

https://noisebridge.net/wiki/Kitchen_Mission

I will update this soon, along with posting some meeting notes.

Discussion regarding making changes to the kitchen and encouraging
community involvement have been ongoing since it was selected during
the 06/25/2013 meeting as the theme for the 07/02/2013 Rebase meeting.
This theme and following proposals have been updated on the wiki, sent
to discuss, and presented at the meetings since.

At the previous meetings leading to this proposal we have had strong
agreement that something needs to be done to the kitchen; that it does
not work as is. The current proposal is the third iteration of the
kitchen project and reflects the concerns and compromises of those
attending the Rebase meetings and those who contributed via email to
those discussions. Excepting Cynthia, the attendees of the last
meeting felt that this was a strong proposal that we should act on.

I hope that this addresses your concern.

(The rest of this message is just about Rebase)

For the discussion list, a reminder:

As far as Rebase is concerned, in general, the intent is to make
excellent changes and improvements to the Noisebridge space that
require more resources, scheduling, and work than a single user can
achieve. The meetings are scheduled at at regular time and the
processes and intent of the Rebase meetings are documented on the
wiki. The meetings are announced to discuss and the notes are kept (as
well as possible). We have had good attendance at the meetings, and I
would love to see even better attendance.

I encourage everyone to please attend these meetings and help Rebase
deliver excellent changes/improvements to our community. Collaboration
and development of projects is by no means constrained to the Rebase
meetings, but they are designed to be a good place for it. Especially
if one feels they need community buy-in. If one cannot attend, please
make a wiki page with your proposal and add it to the Rebase page.
Send me, or someone else that can present on your behalf, your
comments and proposals for us to bring up during the meeting.

-Jarrod
