Define utilisation (who put this here?)
there is a kitchen mailing list (KML)
Send an opt-in for the KML to every member
here's your opt-in: http://discuss.hackerspaces.be/listinfo.cgi/internalkitchen-hackerspaces.be
Relationship with owner
not great (we recieved a nasy email at the end of 2014 .. he is threatening legal action) > do we have a lawyer ?
flexing legal muscle (but not very serious, no recommande, nothing in contract that would put us in bad place) indeed
3rd floor lost, but the guy who is fixing the top floor for the owner told us he was going to kick us out he doesn't have any right to do that
when we confronted hi he tld us the kitchen was next
we NEED to move SOON.
our contract ends september
relation is quite good actually, but both parties looking forward to parting ways
contract finishes: august/sept 2015 (opzeg 1month)
Looking for a new spot
Scenarios
Cureghem St. space
Moving strategy
Voting: everyone but 2 no-vote and 1 people against
Stuff we need to care about
Is owner ok with Hackerspace ?
People coming in at night (entering 24/7)
smokers on the terrace at night
1-2 times a year - social event
Check wall humidity
How long can we stay ?
Heavy works at night?
Ask for few days to look at contract
Expenses: https://www.ethercalc.org/2f53rgvv9z
Bookkeeping 2014 > approved
Hacktivities
How come it was so low ?
cold
lots of crap
dirty
How to fix it ?
Clean Space Policy
What process can we setup to keep the space clean ?
Clean the space automatically 5 minutes when you come in and try to clean your space when you leave + some extra > done
If you ever have to leave a mess behind you, post a mail on the ML with a photo on it
-> Take responsability for your mess
If you find a mess that has not been posted on the ML, post it on the ML to remind people responsible for it about it
Either ask what to do with the mess on the ML or get rid of it
If you put it back where it should be, explain that on the ML
Problem solved move along :)
Membership fees
Give whatever you feel right (min 15€/mo for low-income/student/..., stating explicitly that 25€ are required to cover fixed costs)
Encourage voluntary increase (required ammount for membership stays 15 euro, but if you can please donate X)
Cheaper supporter membership with no key ? -> no (whats the point)
"key-money" (aka having a key= X) (i think this is a bad idea, but shuld be discussed)
(requirerd?) Donation for non-members to participate to workshops ? -> voluntary
Extra 'core member' membership fee for gadgets (email @hsbxl, VM in the space, ...) -> no (we dont have the resources
Membership payment tracking
Ugo comits to work on it with Askarel
Revoke keys if not paid and send a mail explaining there why revoked (future | aska)
yearly membership to be paid before 31st January with a "communication" string in the payment
Suggestion to improve accounting on memberships
Individual balance per member (handle delays/advances, etc)
Show green/red color next to member logos in the space? (aka no name, not on the net) => NO to public shaming
publishing who is behind payments? => NO to public shaming
Have a public and anonymous barometer/thermometer on the website with the amount missing to break-even for the current month (grreat idea, wildo)
Askarel + Ugo provide API, whoever (Wouter) plays with it
Membership for organizations (instead of paying rent)?
Can compagnies / associations use the space ?
At which conditions ?
at what amount
should they have keys?
=> the board can set condition
Non voting but paying members with a key --> yes
Plans for the future
Statutes amendments
Add study of radio spectrum -> have a HAM club license (already OKed last year) -> to be added to statutes
Add clause: a board member not showing up for 3 months is automatically resigning from his position (then replaced by whom ??? changing the statutes are not cheap and fast ... being a board member is a responsability, and should be enforced/remembered, not automatically disqualified... )
reference-addresses for 'digital nomads'
they need to be paying members of the space
Board member or mandated person should accompany the company maker
