Everyone paid $20 for their keys *Membership timeline **Next week, if core members have friends they want to invite, we go into private beta **Those people have to have some sort of kung fu (not necc tech/hardware), willing to share, can't be creepy to girls **Once those people are in, we chill out for 1-2 months or so, then open it up to letting them invite people in **At that point, core members slide back into being normal members ***invite discussion going out via email **Have to live in NYC **Members in absentia ***Jens is like this, he's really excited for us ***If people want to support us and give advice, that's cool ***Category for patron members? ****Case by case basis **Bring friends you want to invite next week! *Furniture move in report **Zack has a van full, moving in saturday at noon **Party after? *Treasurer report **We have 2,300, more coming from clipmarks this month *Wiki Report - The wiki is awesome. New form for meeting minutes is great, logo at top left *Curtain report **Diana has bolts of fabric, but it has to get here, and she has to sneak it out **Need to think about the curtain track. Lets just start with the one curtain dividing the big space into 2 at the elbow. **Raphael is bringing a whiteboard **Eric brought some junky black fabric, helps with noise *IRC report **quick demo. we're #NYCResistor on irc.freenode.net *Jabber **you can get an account on chat.nycresistor.com **IM george to get set up *Education **Raphael put up a big list of classes on the wiki **Raphael will organize classes to fill in gaps and work out redundancies, and scheduling, etc **Please don't edit Raphael's section or anyone else's section ***Just write proposals like he did, in your own section **General behavior rules around classes ***the other person that's allowed to interact with the class is the teacher, it can break flow, so PLEASE don't chime in ***If you're the teacher, don't be late. Be there an hour ahead. **Price per class per student-hour set at $25 ***Split is 50/50 teacher space ***Lab fee should be added on on top of that ***Standard cut for a teacher is $20 an hour, our cut is GREAT compared to that! *Space layout **Raphael showed his sketchup space layout, we all generally liked it, but had to rework the loft a bit, by lowering the righthand side to fit a human on the top. *Internets **Bring in quotes, we'll vote. Do we need static IPs? *Upstairs neighbors? **Possibly 9th floor neighbors! :) Fun!
