* 9 members present<br />
* Recap of last meeting minutes<br />
* Financials:<br />
** A little lower this month than last, but still about a month in the bank<br />
** Big insurance payments are now done<br />
** Michael to add an account to average those insurance fees across a whole year for better budgeting / foresight<br />
** Drinks tend to sell better than food<br />
** Quite a bit more in membership dues compared to last year<br />
* Unit upstairs (cheaper by $600/month) is becoming available soon - Michael to reach out to Bob Brown. Will look into it and report back.<br />
* Anti-social: Michael won't be running it, but Wayne sounded like he might want to. Best not to rush it to ensure a better turnout. Michael will talk to Wayne to make plans.<br />
** Michael wants to eventually plan a smaller, quieter, more geeky night targeted towards members of SkullSpace and their friends.<br />
* Papers we love is at the space tomorrow. Some fancy text to speech stuff.<br />
* Communications strikeforce has met. More coming soon.<br />

*3D Printing Workshop over here. IEEE might be sponsoring refreshments? 5 or 6 talks. Reverse engineering Tiko. Retrofitting the motors, etc.<br />

* Adrian had a suggestion for an Anti-Social space. 72 Princess, third floor, $450. <br />

** (P.S. we should document all the neat stuff we do here.)<br />
* Was there money in our fund to purchase upholstery? <br />
** So Chris had the idea to get furniture to make our space better.<br />
** More flooring! Stuff like that. <br />

*** We can probably get old ones from Habitat for Humanity, too.<br />

**We're still in that four-month period every summer where we're paying for insurance. We're continuing a downward trent, but we shouldn't fall below where we were in February.<br />
*Our air conditioner might have problems. It seems to be working now, but we'll keep an eye on it. Someone predicted a few years ago that it was on its last legs.<br />

<br />
The following is meant to be a philosophical/ideological change to our organization, not one that will affect our operation in a large way. It helps us clarify the role of the board as a whole and the individuals that comprise it.<br />
<br />
One of the goals in creating the SkullSpace was that we have as little hierarchy as possible, we wanted to make it so that no member was ''special'' in any sense. The current impression given as a result of having titles for our directors is that in terms of importance the President is #1, the Vice President is #2, the rest of the board is #3-#5, and the membership comes in at #6. For a variety of reasons, we need ''some'' individuals to be on the hook for things and be able to take care of a number of details that crop up. We need a Board, however there is something we don't strictly need, and that is individual titles for the directors.<br />
<br />
'''I would like to propose that we abolish Directors holding individual titles, which will mean that the list of responsibilities that the Board has will no longer be segmented by title in the Bylaws, but instead be presented as a flat list that the Board is responsible for as a whole. Directors may take on, trade, and relinquish individual responsibilities as required.'''<br />
<br />
This amendment will require a large number of cosmetic changes to the bylaws, basically removing the titles where they appear and replacing them with "a director". Additionally, the table that lists the responsibilities of each director will no longer be segmented.<br />
<br />
For external entities that require a designated individual for certain things, for instance ACU, we can give them the name of the director that has decided to take on the responsibility in question. If an external entity decides to consider that person as having a title, that is strictly their issue, and in no way bestows that title upon the person within our organization.<br />
<br />
Finally, the current titles and responsibilities were shuffled and recreated at the last AGM, and they don't fit our current situation. We have talked about this at length during several meetings, and I hope that all concerns have been addressed by the above explanation.<br />
<br />

But if, after providing an opportunity for members to be nominated, the members approve the closure of nominations and the number of candidates is no greater than the number of positions to be filled, the candidates are deemed to be elected and a secret ballot is not required.<br />
<br />
'''Filling vacancy''' — If a person ceases to be a director less than three months before the end of his or her term, the remaining directors may appoint another member to fill the vacancy for the balance of that term. If a person ceases to be a director more than three months before the end of his or her term, the vacancy is to be filled at a regular or special meeting of members to be held within one month after the vacancy arose.<br />

<br />

A written resolution, signed by all the directors, is as valid as if it had been approved by a majority decision at a meeting of the board.<br />
The purchase of an item, or the incurring of an expenditure, at a cost to SkullSpace greater than $1,000 requires the unanimous approval of all the directors, unless it is approved by an ordinary resolution of the members.<br />
<br />
'''Board meetings''' — <br />
* Board meetings are to be held at least once a month. <br />
* Notice of the date and time of each meeting must be given to each board member, in writing, at least 48 hours before the meeting. If the meeting is to be held at a location other than the Hackerspace, the notice must include the location of the meeting.<br />
* A schedule of regular meetings of the board given to each board member is sufficient notice of each meeting held in accordance with that schedule.<br />

<br />
'''Committees''' — The Board may establish one or more standing or ad hoc committees as it sees fit, assign duties and functions to a committee, and appoint as members of a committee any members of SkullSpace.

<br />

<br />
Any director who has a material interest, whether direct or indirect, financial, personal or official, (other than as a member of SkullSpace) in any matter before the board must disclose that interest to the board<br />
* at the first meeting at which the matter is considered by the board; or<br />
* if the director's interest arises after the first meeting at which the matter was considered, at the first meeting after which the interest arose.<br />
<br />
The <span style="color:#FF0000">board</span> must record the disclosure in the minutes of the meeting, and the director must refrain from participating in any discussion or decision of the board about that matter, unless <br />
* the matter involves errors and omissions insurance for directors and officers; or <br />
* the other members of the board constitute a quorum and welcome the director's continuing participation in the matter.<br />
<br />
==Officers==<br />

<hr />
<div>* Proposed: May 1, 2012<br />
* Voted on: May 29, 2012<br />
* Vote result: Rejected<br />
<br />
The following is meant to be a philosophical/ideological change to our organization, not one that will affect our operation in a large way. It helps us clarify the role of the board as a whole and the individuals that comprise it.<br />
<br />
One of the goals in creating the SkullSpace was that we have as little hierarchy as possible, we wanted to make it so that no member was ''special'' in any sense. The current impression given as a result of having titles for our directors is that in terms of importance the President is #1, the Vice President is #2, the rest of the board is #3-#5, and the membership comes in at #6. For a variety of reasons, we need ''some'' individuals to be on the hook for things and be able to take care of a number of details that crop up. We need a board, however there is something we don't strictly need, and that is individual titles for the directors.<br />
<br />
'''I would like to propose that we abolish directors holding individual titles, which will mean that the list of responsibilities that the board has will no longer be segmented by title in the bylaws, but instead be presented as a flat list that the board is responsible for as a whole. Directors may take on, trade, and relinquish individual responsibilities as required.'''<br />
<br />
This amendment will require a large number of cosmetic changes to the bylaws, basically removing the titles where they appear and replacing them with "a director". Additionally, the table that lists the responsibilities of each director will no longer be segmented.<br />
<br />
For external entities that require a designated individual for certain things, for instance ACU, we can give them the name of the director that has decided to take on the responsibility in question. If an external entity decides to consider that person as having a title, that is strictly their issue, and in no way bestows that title upon the person within our organization.<br />

'''Board decisions''' — Except as otherwise provided in this by-law, a board decision is made by a majority decision at a duly constituted meeting of the board. A written resolution, signed by all the directors, is as valid as if it had been approved by a majority decision at a meeting of the board.<br />

<br />
'''Board meetings''' — <br />
* Board meetings are to be held at least once a month. <br />
* Notice of the date and time of each meeting must be given to each board member, in writing, at least 48 hours before the meeting. If the meeting is to be held at a location other than the Hackerspace, the notice must include the location of the meeting.<br />
* A schedule of regular meetings of the board given to each board member is sufficient notice of each meeting held in accordance with that schedule.<br />
* Subject to the notice requirement, the Chair may call a meeting of the board at any time, and must call a meeting if it is requested in writing by two or more board members.<br />
<br />
'''Committees''' — The Board may establish one or more standing or ad hoc committees as it sees fit, assign duties and functions to a committee, and appoint as members of a committee any members of SkullSpace. The board may establish rules of procedure for a committee, or may enable a committee to establish its own rules of procedure. Committees may not have the word "committee" in their name.<br />
<br />
==Conflict of Interest==<br />
<br />
Any director who has a material interest, whether direct or indirect, financial, personal or official, (other than as a member of SkullSpace) in any matter before the board must disclose that interest to the board<br />
* at the first meeting at which the matter is considered by the board; or<br />
* if the director's interest arises after the first meeting at which the matter was considered, at the first meeting after which the interest arose.<br />
<br />
The <span style="color:#FF0000">board</span> must record the disclosure in the minutes of the meeting, and the director must refrain from participating in any discussion or decision of the board about that matter, unless <br />
* the matter involves errors and omissions insurance for directors and officers; or <br />
* the other members of the board constitute a quorum and welcome the director's continuing participation in the matter.<br />
<br />
==Officers==<br />

[[Category:Bylaw amendments]]</div>Takajihttps://wiki.skullspace.ca/index.php?title=Bylaw_amendment_5&diff=4731Bylaw amendment 52017-10-04T21:29:09Z<p>Takaji: </p>
<hr />
<div>* Proposed: May 1, 2012<br />
* Voted on: May 29, 2012<br />
* Vote result: Passed<br />
<br />
It has come to light that we need some truly official documentation in place to protect the organization and its members in the event that a criminal act is committed and prosecuted that involves SkullSpace property in some way. I propose that we add the following to the '''Membership in SkullSpace''' section of the bylaws. I feel that this is the ''bare minimum'' that we can enact and still have a defensible legal stance against prosecution (IANAL). The goal here is to have something we can point to if we ever need and say "No, we didn't enable that criminal act! It's against our bylaws and everything!".<br />
<br />
I would like to point out the use of the word ''may'' in the '''Illegal activities''' section is designed to account for the varying severity, intention, and provability of the acts in question. Adding a ''must'' to the bylaws is rarely a good idea. Finally note that the activity in question must be covered by federal law to enact these provisions.<br />
<br />
'''The wording of the proposed amendment is subject to review by a lawyer.'''<br />
<br />
==Proposed==<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
'''Illegal activities''' — Any person, be they a member or a guest, known to have committed a criminal act as defined by the Criminal Code of Canada either at the Hackerspace or with any SkullSpace resources may be declared persona non grata by a board decision.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''Persona non grata''' — An individual declared persona non grata shall not:<br />
* Be permitted to apply for membership nor continue to be a member;<br />
* Be permitted to possess keys or other devices that would grant them access to the Hackerspace;<br />
* Be permitted to enter the Hackerspace;<br />
* Be permitted to possess any SkullSpace property;<br />
* Be welcome at any SkullSpace event;<br />
* Be welcome to interact with any of SkullSpace's electronic manifestations.<br />

* 9 members present<br />
* Recap of last meeting minutes<br />
* Financials:<br />
** A little lower this month than last, but still about a month in the bank<br />
** Big insurance payments are now done<br />
** Michael to add an account to average those insurance fees across a whole year for better budgeting / foresight<br />
** Drinks tend to sell better than food<br />
** Quite a bit more in membership dues compared to last year<br />
* Unit upstairs (cheaper by $600/month) is becoming available soon - Michael to reach out to Bob Brown. Will look into it and report back.<br />
* Anti-social: Michael won't be running it, but Wayne sounded like he might want to. Best not to rush it to ensure a better turnout. Michael will talk to Wayne to make plans.<br />
** Michael wants to eventually plan a smaller, quieter, more geeky night targeted towards members of SkullSpace and their friends.<br />
* Papers we love is at the space tomorrow. Some fancy text to speech stuff.<br />

<br />
*Members: 8<br />
*3D Printing Workshop over here. IEEE might be sponsoring refreshments? 5 or 6 talks. Reverse engineering Tiko. Retrofitting the motors, etc.<br />
*Ai-Kon went good. We had a lot of interest and there were no hiccups. It was like a mini comic-con.<br />
*Financial news: <br />
**We're seeing a spike in members after all last month's memberships started coming through. We won't be relying quite as hard on event funds, but those will still be necessary for now.<br />
**We're still in that four-month period every summer where we're paying for insurance. We're continuing a downward trent, but we shouldn't fall below where we were in February.<br />
*Our air conditioner might have problems. It seems to be working now, but we'll keep an eye on it. Someone predicted a few years ago that it was on its last legs.<br />

Current tasks: <br />
<br />
#Create [[By-laws]] <br />
#Create a "[[Wishlist]]" of initial gear <br />
#Plan a March 19th [[Events|event]]<br />
<br />
The basic plan outlined at the meeting was this... <br />
<br />
First, we need to establish by-laws and create an initial wishlist, which will enable us to apply for government grants and give us a good idea of startup money. <br />
<br />
Next, we need to draft a good budget, consider the number of members we have, and define the amount each member would be required to pay. If it's an acceptable amount, and the members vote in favour, then we'll be in a position to accept a space. <br />

<br />
17 to 0 in favour of student memberships. ($40/month regular, and $20/month for full-time students.)<br />
<br />
Kenny wants to organize SkullSpace excursions to all the cons. He will lead us in that respect, for now.<br />
<br />
For the move at the end of the month, take all your stuff out now and then just bring it all back after the move.<br />
<br />
Ron: "The more junk you bring to the new space, the better, because it pisses of Justin and that's funny."<br />
<br />
Wiki page with list of assets to keep or toss:<br />
http://www.skullspace.ca/wiki/index.php/Strikeforce:Pre-Move_Inventory<br />
<br />
The 23rd is the day to have all your stuff out. At that time, we'll be keeping things or throwing them out on whim, so if there are extra things they'll find themselves in the garbage by the end of that week.<br />
<br />
Our projected numbers for the Donald space are pessimistic, in that they don't include new members, and optimistic, in that they assume each member's pledge will hold. We can do it within a reasonable doubt.<br />
<br />
13 Members present were for moving forward with Justin's plan.<br />
<br />
Requirements for people renting desks? Just need a lockable desk with room for a chair. We probably won't build walls around them.<br />
<br />
There's an advertising space where we can put up something informational.<br />
We can hang something in the window, too.<br />
<br />
We can't screw anything into the walls, but we've got plans to make movable wall-like partitions between spaces that can stand on their own.<br />
There are electrical outlets at regular distances along the walls, so it won't be hard to get all the power we'll need.<br />
<br />
Katie, Mak's wife, is our newest member. Hi, Katie!<br />

* We might be able to pick up the Hydro costs entirely for ourselves and ask for a reduction in the lease price.<br />

*We have new cleany sheets on the fridge where we can record what we've done and keep track of what we should do. Everyone should try to do one or two things on that list every month<br />

<br />
*G. Mike informed me that ‘herps’ were required in the notes, Dave countered that I could only ‘herp’ after a ‘derp’.<br />
*Budget sheets passed out printed on fourth generation recycled materials.<br />
*Discussion of lease/renovations: Renovations on hold until the lease is firmly in place.<br />
*Problems with the lease – the landlord wants us to take over the entire electrical bill. Negotiations are ongoing. The owners are considering our lease offer as invalid because it says it says ‘offer to lease’. The electrical bill is around $1000 for the building, estimates for our portion is around $800-$900 per month. Colin and G. Mike had a debate over what constituted a refrigeration device.<br />
*The minutes reflect how anal retentive G. Mike is.<br />
*Mark did a rundown on his budget breakdown. Ron suggested that a strike force be assigned to talk about the budget.<br />
*Ron asked everyone to take posters for his “OpenChaos Night”. Alex will take care of posters at RRC. Ron admitted he was lame.<br />
*There was a discussion of membership numbers and the facility as it pertains to the estimate.<br />
*Mark asked if we could all agree that a change was needed. Colin didn’t want to make a changed based on numbers he thought were off. Alex suggested hosting more events to raise membership. G. Mike suggested the problem with that was that there aren’t enough outlets to support that. Ron agrees that more events are a good idea, and wants to have more events.<br />
*Discussion of the AC, whether it was a good idea to run it 24/7, or put it on a timer to shut it down during non-operational hours.<br />
*Why do you let the guy who’s a self-professed griefer be responsible for taking the notes?<br />
*The final consensus on what can be done about the budget:<br />
*1) Get all the money owed to us by members.<br />
*2) Wait and find out what the final deal is with the lease.<br />
*3) (For Jay)Get a comparison with other locations on what rent is.<br />
*4) (For Justin?)Investigate grants we can possibly get.<br />
*5) (For Mike)Get an electrical quote.<br />
*New subject: VMWare server. Mark wanted to know if a 3D workstation would be a good idea. There was enough interest to warrant continuing pursuit of the project. Mark had suggested selling the server; Alex wanted to talk to Steph before selling it. The subject was dropped. *Mark had a few conditions: Money for ram upgrades, a hard drive, and we need an admin for the computer. It will be located in the workshop (or the computer room when it’s finished).<br />
*The $100 monthly project fund was put on hold until the budget crisis was resolved.<br />
*(For Justin)Send out an email asking people to clear their items out of the dirty workroom in the north-east corner.<br />
*Ron suggested the option of using a crowd-source loan to enhance our storage capacity and space.<br />
*New topic: The elevator. Justin said the elevator is supposed to be fixed tomorrow (Sept. 5th). The elevator repair company (Winnipeg Elevator) has been called, but they forgot about it. G.Mike has suggested that he takes over the duty of calling the repair company from Remco as an option.<br />
*Back elevator: Colin said the building owners asked the back elevator to be disconnected.<br />
*(From Sue)Gentle reminder: Put stuff away after you use it.<br />
*Alex: Wants to put together a strike force to organize more events. Adrian is planning on music making courses. Justin offered to run a course on Eagle. Anyone with suggestions for events, or who wants to run an event, should email Alex, who’s offered to be the event coordinator.<br />
*Mike officially delegates the ‘event coordinator’ position to Alex Weber. Alex suggested either charging a nominal fee for talks, or suggested accepting donations for talks.<br />
*G.Mike – Note on renovations: Ten people doing a ten hour day could finish off renovations. He plans on doing this when it’s cooler.<br />
*Garbage Pickup: There is nobody picking up garbage. Take the garbage to Securis if you can. If you can’t, and a bag is full, tie it off and place it near the elevator. Food garbage should ONLY be placed in the kitchen garbage.<br />
*(For Ron)Make a sign saying food garbage should only go in the kitchen garbage.<br />
*G.Mike suggested introducing a student rate.<br />
*(For Alex)Make a pamphlet that lists the benefits of being a member. Plans for distributing the pamphlet; passing them out at talks, schools. Updating the wiki page, etc…<br />
*These notes are brought to you by the letter ‘G’ and the number 5.<br />
*The previous notes have been falsified. SCANDAL!!!<br />

<br />
Present: Ron, Marcel, Siu, Mike/hat, Justin, Chris, Jason, Dave, Adrian, Alex, Mark, Thor, Colin, Ric<br />
*budget/renos: waiting for response from Remco/Landlord before advancing/making decisions<br />
*a number of people haven't been in sksp this summer due to being busy outdoors events<br />
*some members still aren't coming due to mess / electrical / heat issues, need to make our space appealing<br />
*openchaos: alex will poster RRC, maybe someone will do UofM, Colin will do USB. Try to do event monthly?<br />
*instead of arguing numbers which are guesses anyways, concentrate on making events that bring in members.<br />
*insulating classroom would help reduce heating/cooling costs there<br />
*still keep in mind that there may be other places we could lease if Adelaide becomes too expensive<br />
*we need a grant strike force to get organized now - money for electrical/etc would really help<br />
*Mark will use the old (Stef's) VM server as a workstation in the classroom. Got $50 for new VM RAM upgrade.<br />
*storage room: people please put their stuff in boxes, or empty unused/never touched shelves<br />
*if we wanted to get a 3D printer or electrical "loan", we could do crowdsource loan - some members buy and the space pays them back an amount over a few years to get ownership of it.<br />
*front elevator should be fixed tomorrow; unknown if Remco/Landlord will ever have the rear elevator fixed.<br />
*when you're planning an event please send am e-mail to Alex, he's willing to be the event coordinator<br />
*september hackathon will coincide with software freedom day<br />
*reminder that we have to bring our garbage down the street to Seccuris - please do that if needed<br />
*only put food garbage in kitchen garbage can so that we only have to really worry about one can<br />
*if there's a lot of non-members around they should be kept in the classroom, like animals<br />
*discussion of student memberships - usually if people can't afford $40/mo, there won't be a difference for $20/mo; also whether events should have fees to get in or suggested donations. Considering we'd rather have people coming than not, and donations at events were pretty good, keep it that way?<br />
*S*** said he'd do something, but he never finishing anything, so someone else do it.<br />
*let's have a pamphlet of member benefits so people who pass by can be encouraged to join.<br />

*we have 48 members currently, but 11 aren't paid at present, 2 of which it's been 4 months<br />
*we were slow to send out notices of lapsed payment, hopefully that will go quicker.<br />
*Jay's financial update: we have $8K in the bank - $6K reserved etc = $2K spendable<br />
*gas bill is $52 - since we've been using about zero in the last while we need to check on it.<br />
*rent/electrical discussions: not posted publically, ask other members for mailinglist notes.<br />
*grants: Justin will spearhead a strikeforce for that. Charitable status is almost impossible as we're members-only and the "friends" price for Pitblado to make us a charity is $30K.<br />
*to reduce server room power usage you can migrate less-used services to the VM server.<br />
*elevator is still not working.<br />
*we need to keep doing good hackathons/etc to bring in people and donations.<br />
*we need to get outside signs, but can't be electrical since that requires $250/year permit.<br />
*reminder Justin is looking for people for the cleaning strikeforce: Marcel, Thor, Alex, RyLAN, Colin0 volunteered<br />
*Mike with a sometimes hat donated a small bagless vacuum.<br />
*Kenny will also look into a cleaning quote, although with other possible future expenses that looks unlikely.<br />
*Ramp-up Manitoba are having a meeting tomorrow (Wednesday)<br />

* Food Hackathon!<br />
** the Food hackathon went really well. It was well attended and there was loads of food.<br />
** Presentations and hands-on demonstrations were excellent. Thanks to Sarah, Michael, Shab, Daniel, Nick and Nate for their work.<br />
** There was some confusion on start time. The Facebook event was created for the time we had access to the facility. Even though the text of the event stated that presentations, etc. were later we still had people show up early. We should be more clear on this for future events.<br />
** We definitely need to do another dinner or food-themed event again some time. Possibly an annual Hacksgiving Dinner.<br />
* Blog!<br />
** Jay wants to rejuventate the blog.<br />
** Sarah and Nate are working on a blog post collecting recipes, and presentations for the Food Hackathon.<br />
* Central Canadian Comic Con<br />
** Sarah is coordinating our presence, please talk to her if you are able to volunteer<br />
** The line at C4 is *long* - helping out means cheaper tickets and you get in so much faster! The price for these perks is helping set up the con<br />
** We *think* Thursday (the 30th) is the setup<br />
** The biggest problem is the table itself. We have a table skirt, but nothing exciting to put on it. Cool blinking-light projects help a lot, if you have one of those to put out that would help. Last year we made LED throwies, and demonstrated Siu's LED array.<br />
* November Hackathon<br />

** Mak is working on getting Comp-Sci graduate student in to present on their research projects. This might work well for Novemer.<br />

** Donation button needs to be done properly!<br />
* Model M<br />
** If you want a Model M with an RJ45 jack, let Edwin know!<br />

* Anti-Social<br />
** A lot of new people attended, but overall attendance was down.<br />
** Hacker Jeopardy was a raging success, so much so that it drew the crowd away from the DJs/social.<br />

* SkullCamp<br />
** Scheduling did not work our for the last planned event. It has been postponed, likely until spring.<br />
* Game AI hackathon<br />
** Hats off to Mak for putting in a huge amount of effort and getting the gameai.skullspace.ca site and a whole bunch of sample bots done. Presentation was excellent and everything worked perfectly, save a few complaints about the speed.<br />
** Ben did a genetic algorithm, which didn't really work<br />
** Despite all odds (and logic), 5bot and 6bot did relatively well<br />
** All in all the event was a success and paved the way for future more exciting game events (Battleship, Carcasonne, etc.)<br />
* The October hackathon topic will be FOOD!<br />

** Bike Winnipeg Donated front and rear lights for each of these loaner bikes. We need someone to buy or donate three good quality locks.<br />

*** Zoe looked in to getting a table at RRC, but they are expensive.<br />
** Other community groups<br />
*** At the start of SkullSpace, we recruited from lots of other community groups. We should do that more!<br />
*** We should also make an effort just hang out with other groups (Secret Handshake, Winnipeg Skeptics, HAM Radio group, etc.) and be recognized.<br />
* Events<br />
** We had lots of events earlier this year and should definitely do more<br />
** SkullCamp is planned for Sept 12-14. date was changed due to a conflict with Nuit Blanche. Contact Ian (or see the mailing list) for details.<br />

** Lists are now hosted on google servers and should be fully operational.<br />

* Drink machine - can we get rid of it?<br />
** The drink machine has a huge energy cost to operate and takes up a large amount of space.<br />
** we can replace it with a higher efficiency fridge<br />
** No one opposed removal of the drink machine provided we had a suitable replacement<br />
** We could also get rid of the upright freezer. It is usually mostly empty and we could make due with the smaller freezer in our existing refrigerator.<br />
** Edwin suggested we might be able to convert the upright freezer into a drink fridge. Molly may be able to offer guidance.<br />
* Baby change station<br />
** Colin C. is meeting with the landlord to ask if we can mount a baby changing table to one of the bathroom walls. He will report back.<br />

Minutes<br />
* Call to order: 18:00<br />
* Review of minutes<br />
* Updates<br />
** Finance (Ben)<br />
*** Ben presented update financial projections. New projections have been done excluding potential fundraising as none of this income has been guaranteed.<br />
*** The board has loaned approximately one month's expenses to the organization. This is intended to buy time to do fundraising and not to prolong it's demise. <br />
*** We will be in the red in two months time without new members and/or fundraising.<br />
*** Shortfall is such that if every member donated $4 per month we would be in the black.<br />
** Occupancy permit (Jay)<br />
*** We have all of the required hardware for the automatic fire alarm door-release. Colin will schedule a fire alarm test. This will need to be done in conjunction with the alarm company, landlord and other tenants.<br />
*** Colin is awesome. Please don't die.<br />
** Network infrastructure (Ian T.)<br />
*** SkullSpace now has a dedicated IPv6 network, wired and wireless!<br />
** Newark/Element14<br />
*** Newark/Element14 approached us to establish a sponsorship / partnership. They would provide us with parts, kits, etc. In exchange for us writing a blog post about their use. <br />
*** If anyone has a project that they would like to do, please contact Ben.<br />
** Strikeforces<br />
*** Wiki / Website Hackathon: will be meeting shortly. Colin C. is coordinating this project.<br />
*** Event planning strikeforce will be meeting immediately after the member meeting. Great things in-store!<br />
*** Anti-Social 2.0 is progressing. We are awaiting confirmation on the availability of the venue before picking a date.<br />
*** Library partnership: The Winnipeg Public Library has approached us to develop programming. At this point they are interested in having us deliver SkullSpace-themed programming <br />
*** Jay will be meeting with them on Friday to explore options.<br />
*** Hacker Jeopardy: Ron is organizing a one-night Hacker Jeopardy event on June 6th. Everyone buy tickets and come have fun! Tickets are available from Ron, Nathan, Richard and Jay.<br />
* Popcorn machine: discussion deferred until existing popcorn machine departs. Nate will be restocking it (and snacks) on FRI.<br />
* Bread machine: we have one, please feel free to use it. Siu has not been able to get it to make anything resembling bread, and would love it if someone else would see if they have better luck.<br />
* Cryptoparty<br />
** The next Cryptoparty will be on June 7th!<br />
** Colin C. will be presenting on Liberation Technology (Tor, PGP, OTR, etc.)<br />
** Daniel will be presenting on one time pads / RSA<br />
* New printer installed! It is on the network at 172.30.6.46. Thanks to Russ for getting this set up.<br />
* Donor 'membership' level.<br />
** We discussed the idea of adding a non-voting “friend of SkullSpace” membership tier.<br />
** This would be a way for remote members and casual users of the space to make regular contributions via PAD.<br />
** This was unanimously approved.<br />
* Son-of-Skullotron project is progressing. Hopefully there will be a model to review shortly.<br />
* Office dividers: Brittany suggested a few office dividers would be a good addition to the classroom, both to help funnel traffic into the space when there are events in the classroom, and to serve as a notice board.<br />
** Sean offered to pay for them.<br />
** Jon and Nate offered to pick them up.<br />
* Adjournment: 18:45<br />

* Agenda and minutes<br />
** Ideally, the board sends the minutes out on Saturday/Sunday<br />

<br />

* 6:00: <br />
** Intros Skipped<br />
** SkullSpace is now open!<br />
** Treatments are done for bugs<br />
** Waiting to re-treat for eggs<br />
** Nothing found by exterminators<br />
** People are still worried about it<br />
<br />
** Courtney wants to sell you gift cards<br />
<br />
** Lease is up next month. Asked Landlord about space cost<br />
** He lowered the rent to 1800 from 2200<br />
** The Space is now viable to stay. Problem solved? Differed :D<br />
** There is still a great opportinity to look around<br />
** Either option is a win, it's no longer life or death!<br />
<br />
** Asked if we'd get as much for the same cost.<br />
** We're confident we can afford our current space.<br />
** We're still bringing this up a the next meeting<br />
** Do we stay, do we go? Details and choice next meeting.<br />
** Same condition, less cost, "it's a bombshell" - Jay<br />
<br />
* 6:05: <br />
** Events: Festivus in November<br />
** <br />
** Fincancials: We were about $300 loss each month<br />
** Ben went back, good news is the calculation was a bit off<br />
** The first six months we were paying back rent! Expensese corrected<br />
** Average loss is only ~$30/mo. Maybe about $150 with cleaners<br />
** Bad news, average income is seadly declining<br />
** Membership is down to 60, but that is the lowest mark.<br />
** Student members up, average income is lower from this<br />
** We're loosing $200/mo, so we can barely afford the space either way<br />
** At best, we can build up the emergency funds.<br />
** Better than in the last 3 years.<br />
** Moving to a space with greater savings, more money for good stuff<br />
** Ben to provide financial reports with these minutes<br />
* 6:10: <br />
** Rent decrease is survivable, but reducing rent enables us to achive more<br />
** Not as many expenses, rent reduced dramatically.<br />
** 70 Arthur would be okay with after-hours access<br />
** We'd have a 60 day notice of termnination on Arthur<br />
** Checking out Market<br />
** Since moving here, we've never looked better<br />
<br />
** Gift card fundraiser has not been marked on the books. Had been missing the $400 from that.<br />
** Social has repaid the deposit, so we have an additional $200<br />
** Almost paid for the bed bug treatments<br />
<br />
** We've gone from doomed to better than ever.<br />

== January 6th, 2015 - 18:00 @ 200-374 Donald ==<br />
* Call to order 18:00 - 12 Members present<br />
* Previous meeting minutes reviewed and approved without modification<br />
* Ben's brother's gaming tournament was a success.<br />
* Cleaners<br />
** The Cleaners Ian has donated to us for the last year cost about 20/hour.<br />
** A quick vote was taken on who wants cleaning to be done monthly at a cost of 20/hour.<br />
** Majority paying cleaners.<br />
* Financial update<br />
** Previous meetings stated we should have been paying more for rent the last few months.<br />
** The landlord has given us permission to pay back the missing rent over the next six months.<br />
** If we had to pay it in the very beginning we would have been in the red.<br />
** Financial projection puts us a projected capital of just over $2500.<br />
** We'd rather be near $7500.<br />
** https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TSR8eZ4IubLAWSQL3OaOQPxDUW461vwmkkWjoXv2tTE/edit#gid=334356055<br />
* Cleaners<br />
** Cleaning of the space is estimated as taking 4-5 hours @ $20/hour each month. (80-100)<br />
** Group suggested looking into the costs of cleaning just the bathroom and if the cleaner would even come to just clean the bathrooms.<br />
** To pay for 4-5 hours each month might put us in the red rather quickly. We could have more fundraisers to make up for this. A clean and tidy space is more attractive to prospective and new users.<br />
* AGM is next month (February 24th)<br />
** By-law amendments should be given to the board more than three weeks before the AGM (End of January)<br />
** Ian suggested that a student is selected from all the student members as an advocate on behalf of students and potential student members to make it less intimidating. Ian has fears that students perceive it as difficult to be a member.<br />
** Jay mentions that his preference is for all members to be seen as equal regardless of membership type. The point of student memberships was to offset a societal economic balance, not introduce a new one.<br />
** Ben: "Students may not have time to run on the board"<br />
** Ian: "Being on the board is a Career/resume booster and would give the student body power on the board." (students are already allowed to run for the board and have been voted in in the past)<br />
** Jeremy (reads actual bylaws) "The current bylaws state by law changes must be brought up three weeks in advance of any amendments"<br />
** Jay: "Bylaws can be changed AT ANY TIME but the 21 day period is mandatory." (getting them down at the AGM is nice)<br />
** Jay: "If you want to run for board positions PLEASE DO! It's not as stressful as you think."<br />
* Events for 2015<br />
** If you have any ideas for cool events get your strike force together! The AGM is a great time to announce them.<br />
** Robert Keizer: "An Intro Music Theory class will be taught by Robert's friend, 21st of January. More notes to go out to the list(s)."<br />
** Jay: "Mark Jenkins will be hosting an Intro to Linux study/discussion group" (tied to the $60 online course from edX https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-linux-linuxfoundationx-lfs101x-2)<br />
* Recent Development<br />
** The Drink Fridge froze and was discovered today (Jan 6.) Lots of cans expanded and exploded all over the inside. Some simply expanded (drink them) Some sticky soda had leaked on the floor.<br />
** It was cleaned up by Robert Keizer, Courtenay Lofchick and Stefan. Give them a pat on the back!<br />

9 members present<br />
last week<br />
Reminders:<br />
-Talk to A. Michael for skullspace t-shirts or polos. Size / colour / etc.<br />
-Talk to Courtney to get giftcards. SkullSpace gets a little kickback from it.<br />
-Talk to Ben or Edwin or Troy to donate to the CNC fund. We're at a little over $1000<br />
Thinkbox has decided to sponsor us $2400/year quarterly, explicitly for increasing value in the space. Tools, fixing, etc. Many of our existing tools are whatever members have donated.<br />
We should prepare for the CNC by getting things like the filters, safety glasses, and stuff like that.<br />
Troy made business cards. They'll be in the office cabinet.<br />
The 3D Printer workshop at the library went really well. It sold out, and all the reviews were excellent. Mark donated his presentation material so we can repeat the presentation here.<br />
We're planning for the social. Shab was going to help plan. We're planning more than a month in advance this time.<br />
- We should probably focus on a social that's fun for us, without the huge and noisy dancefloor and with more board games. Still loads of booze, of course. If we want to do a loud-music real social, it's not an 'anti-social', and we should focus on the crowds who actually fill up that kind of venue.<br />
The MGUG are going to have a show-and-tell on Thursday. Come talk about open maps and stuff like that.<br />
Ben did financial stuff. We lost a lot of members recently, as we usually do before the summer.<br />
<br />
== May 31st, 2016 - 18:00 @ 200-374 Donald ==<br />
* t-shirts, hats, polos, etc with embroidered logo, $20-30 depending on quality and fundraising<br />

** https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rS4xaadpGEAJZKGb5Q3wF_9tPx81h-Z9YgHVEEdl5Sw/edit?usp=sharing<br />
** We should plan a fundraiser or two (social?)<br />
** Volunteers to coordinate wanted<br />
* CNC machine<br />

** Photos of CNC machine made stuff in the next email<br />
* social medias<br />
** we should make a point of posting pics of events on the twitters and facebooks<br />
* concensus was to relocate the bikes to the back of the space where they are less in the way since they are not used very frequently<br />

* key access system will need to be documented soon - Edwin will take this on, Mark will help with imaging the VM<br />
* Stuff in the space<br />
** available for members to use and borrow short term (note when it will return)<br />
** donations/long term loans should be agreed upon as useful - announce before bringing in large items and make sure at least a couple other members<br />
** when you borrow stuff, email the list, even small things - lets people know if stuff is available and ensures it comes back<br />
** anything that looks good here is probably either destined for someone's project or sksp infrastructure<br />

*Ai-Kon went good. We had a lot of interest and there were no hiccups. It was like a mini comic-con.<br />

**We're seeing a spike in members after all last month's memberships started coming through. We won't be relying quite as hard on event funds, but those will still be necessary for now.<br />
**We're still in that four-month period every summer where we're paying for insurance. We're continuing a downward trent, but we shouldn't fall below where we were in February.<br />
*Our air conditioner might have problems. It seems to be working now, but we'll keep an eye on it. Someone predicted a few years ago that it was on its last legs.<br />

9 members present<br />
last week<br />
Reminders:<br />
-Talk to A. Michael for skullspace t-shirts or polos. Size / colour / etc.<br />
-Talk to Courtney to get giftcards. SkullSpace gets a little kickback from it.<br />
-Talk to Ben or Edwin or Troy to donate to the CNC fund. We're at a little over $1000<br />
Thinkbox has decided to sponsor us $2400/year quarterly, explicitly for increasing value in the space. Tools, fixing, etc. Many of our existing tools are whatever members have donated.<br />
We should prepare for the CNC by getting things like the filters, safety glasses, and stuff like that.<br />
Troy made business cards. They'll be in the office cabinet.<br />
The 3D Printer workshop at the library went really well. It sold out, and all the reviews were excellent. Mark donated his presentation material so we can repeat the presentation here.<br />
We're planning for the social. Shab was going to help plan. We're planning more than a month in advance this time.<br />
- We should probably focus on a social that's fun for us, without the huge and noisy dancefloor and with more board games. Still loads of booze, of course. If we want to do a loud-music real social, it's not an 'anti-social', and we should focus on the crowds who actually fill up that kind of venue.<br />
The MGUG are going to have a show-and-tell on Thursday. Come talk about open maps and stuff like that.<br />
Ben did financial stuff. We lost a lot of members recently, as we usually do before the summer.<br />
<br />
== May 31st, 2016 - 18:00 @ 200-374 Donald ==<br />
* t-shirts, hats, polos, etc with embroidered logo, $20-30 depending on quality and fundraising<br />

** We should plan a fundraiser or two (social?)<br />
** Volunteers to coordinate wanted<br />
* CNC machine<br />
** We want to get an X-Carve<br />
** So far we have about $1000 and we want to get closer to $2000 before we pull the trigger<br />
** Photos of CNC machine made stuff in the next email<br />
* social medias<br />
** we should make a point of posting pics of events on the twitters and facebooks<br />
* concensus was to relocate the bikes to the back of the space where they are less in the way since they are not used very frequently<br />

* key access system will need to be documented soon - Edwin will take this on, Mark will help with imaging the VM<br />
* Stuff in the space<br />
** available for members to use and borrow short term (note when it will return)<br />
** donations/long term loans should be agreed upon as useful - announce before bringing in large items and make sure at least a couple other members<br />
** when you borrow stuff, email the list, even small things - lets people know if stuff is available and ensures it comes back<br />
** anything that looks good here is probably either destined for someone's project or sksp infrastructure<br />

*3D Printing Workshop over here. IEEE might be sponsoring refreshments? 5 or 6 talks. Reverse engineering Tiko. Retrofitting the motors, etc.<br />
*Ai-Kon went good. We had a lot of interest and there were no hiccups. It was like a mini comic-con.<br />
*Financial news: <br />
**We're seeing a spike in members after all last month's memberships started coming through. We won't be relying quite as hard on event funds, but those will still be necessary for now.<br />
**We're still in that four-month period every summer where we're paying for insurance. We're continuing a downward trent, but we shouldn't fall below where we were in February.<br />
*Our air conditioner might have problems. It seems to be working now, but we'll keep an eye on it. Someone predicted a few years ago that it was on its last legs.<br />

<br />
9 members present<br />
last week<br />
Reminders:<br />
-Talk to A. Michael for skullspace t-shirts or polos. Size / colour / etc.<br />
-Talk to Courtney to get giftcards. SkullSpace gets a little kickback from it.<br />
-Talk to Ben or Edwin or Troy to donate to the CNC fund. We're at a little over $1000<br />
Thinkbox has decided to sponsor us $2400/year quarterly, explicitly for increasing value in the space. Tools, fixing, etc. Many of our existing tools are whatever members have donated.<br />
We should prepare for the CNC by getting things like the filters, safety glasses, and stuff like that.<br />
Troy made business cards. They'll be in the office cabinet.<br />
The 3D Printer workshop at the library went really well. It sold out, and all the reviews were excellent. Mark donated his presentation material so we can repeat the presentation here.<br />
We're planning for the social. Shab was going to help plan. We're planning more than a month in advance this time.<br />
- We should probably focus on a social that's fun for us, without the huge and noisy dancefloor and with more board games. Still loads of booze, of course. If we want to do a loud-music real social, it's not an 'anti-social', and we should focus on the crowds who actually fill up that kind of venue.<br />
The MGUG are going to have a show-and-tell on Thursday. Come talk about open maps and stuff like that.<br />
Ben did financial stuff. We lost a lot of members recently, as we usually do before the summer.<br />
<br />
== May 31st, 2016 - 18:00 @ 200-374 Donald ==<br />
* t-shirts, hats, polos, etc with embroidered logo, $20-30 depending on quality and fundraising<br />
** contact Michael K if you are interested<br />
* gift cards<br />
** if you are interested, contact Courtney<br />
* financial update<br />
** https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rS4xaadpGEAJZKGb5Q3wF_9tPx81h-Z9YgHVEEdl5Sw/edit?usp=sharing<br />
** We should plan a fundraiser or two (social?)<br />
** Volunteers to coordinate wanted<br />
* CNC machine<br />
** We want to get an X-Carve<br />
** So far we have about $1000 and we want to get closer to $2000 before we pull the trigger<br />
** Photos of CNC machine made stuff in the next email<br />
* social medias<br />
** we should make a point of posting pics of events on the twitters and facebooks<br />
* concensus was to relocate the bikes to the back of the space where they are less in the way since they are not used very frequently<br />

* key access system will need to be documented soon - Edwin will take this on, Mark will help with imaging the VM<br />
* Stuff in the space<br />
** available for members to use and borrow short term (note when it will return)<br />
** donations/long term loans should be agreed upon as useful - announce before bringing in large items and make sure at least a couple other members<br />
** when you borrow stuff, email the list, even small things - lets people know if stuff is available and ensures it comes back<br />
** anything that looks good here is probably either destined for someone's project or sksp infrastructure<br />

{{Archived}}<br />
<br />
{{Warning policy}}<br />
<br />
This document will set out the policy and procedure for SkullSpace elections, based on the [[General By-law of SkullSpace Winnipeg Inc.]]. <br />
<br />
As stated in the bylaws, the Annual General Meeting will be announced to all members (via the Announce mailing list) at least three weeks (21 days) prior to the meeting. It is at that meeting that voting will take place (assuming that at least six candidates step forward). <br />
<br />
The process is as follows:<br />
* The Board will announce the meeting via email, and name an Election Official. <br />
* Until 1 week before the election, candidates email their interest to the Election Official, who will record them. <br />
** The Election Official must be a member in good standing who is not running in the election.<br />
* At 1 week before the election:<br />
** The nominations close.<br />
** The list of candidates is sent out by the Election Official via the Announce mailing list.<br />
** Each member in good standing will receive a unique random code, which is their Election Token - members may give this Election Token to other members, to serve as their 'proxy'<br />
* On election day, assuming there are more candidates than director positions, members will fill out ballots, checking off names of who they vote for, and fill in in their Election Token in the appropriate place<br />
* The Election Official will collect the ballots and count them<br />
** If a single Election Token is used on multiple ballots, those ballots are invalidated<br />
** In the case of a tie-breaker vote being required, the Election Official will cast the tie-breaker<br />
* The successful directors will be announced as soon as the votes are tallied, and will decide amongst themselves in whichever way they see fit which officer positions they will fulfill<br />
** If less than five (5) directors are elected, we'll deal with it at the AGM.<br />
<br />
In practice:<br />
* The Election Official can serve as a proxy - votes can be emailed to him or her after the candidates are announced.<br />
* Votes for special resolutions may be done on the same ballot.</div>Takajihttps://wiki.skullspace.ca/index.php?title=Bylaw_amendment_6&diff=4715Bylaw amendment 62017-10-04T18:35:46Z<p>Takaji: Updated to reflect status</p>

* Vote result: Passed<br />
<br />
The following is meant to be a philosophical/ideological change to our organization, not one that will affect our operation in a large way. It helps us clarify the role of the board as a whole and the individuals that comprise it.<br />
<br />
One of the goals in creating the SkullSpace was that we have as little hierarchy as possible, we wanted to make it so that no member was ''special'' in any sense. The current impression given as a result of having titles for our directors is that in terms of importance the President is #1, the Vice President is #2, the rest of the board is #3-#5, and the membership comes in at #6. For a variety of reasons, we need ''some'' individuals to be on the hook for things and be able to take care of a number of details that crop up. We need a board, however there is something we don't strictly need, and that is individual titles for the directors.<br />
<br />
'''I would like to propose that we abolish directors holding individual titles, which will mean that the list of responsibilities that the board has will no longer be segmented by title in the bylaws, but instead be presented as a flat list that the board is responsible for as a whole. Directors may take on, trade, and relinquish individual responsibilities as required.'''<br />
<br />
This amendment will require a large number of cosmetic changes to the bylaws, basically removing the titles where they appear and replacing them with "a director". Additionally, the table that lists the responsibilities of each director will no longer be segmented.<br />
<br />
For external entities that require a designated individual for certain things, for instance ACU, we can give them the name of the director that has decided to take on the responsibility in question. If an external entity decides to consider that person as having a title, that is strictly their issue, and in no way bestows that title upon the person within our organization.<br />

* Board meetings are to be held at least once a month. <br />
* Notice of the date and time of each meeting must be given to each board member, in writing, at least 48 hours before the meeting. If the meeting is to be held at a location other than the Hackerspace, the notice must include the location of the meeting.<br />
* A schedule of regular meetings of the board given to each board member is sufficient notice of each meeting held in accordance with that schedule.<br />
* Subject to the notice requirement, the Chair may call a meeting of the board at any time, and must call a meeting if it is requested in writing by two or more board members.<br />
<br />
'''Committees''' — The Board may establish one or more standing or ad hoc committees as it sees fit, assign duties and functions to a committee, and appoint as members of a committee any members of SkullSpace. The board may establish rules of procedure for a committee, or may enable a committee to establish its own rules of procedure. Committees may not have the word "committee" in their name.<br />
<br />

<br />
Any director who has a material interest, whether direct or indirect, financial, personal or official, (other than as a member of SkullSpace) in any matter before the board must disclose that interest to the board<br />
* at the first meeting at which the matter is considered by the board; or<br />
* if the director's interest arises after the first meeting at which the matter was considered, at the first meeting after which the interest arose.<br />
<br />
The <span style="color:#FF0000">board</span> must record the disclosure in the minutes of the meeting, and the director must refrain from participating in any discussion or decision of the board about that matter, unless <br />
* the matter involves errors and omissions insurance for directors and officers; or <br />
* the other members of the board constitute a quorum and welcome the director's continuing participation in the matter.<br />
<br />
==Officers==<br />
<br />

If the <span style="color:#FF0000">board</span> is satisfied that the applicant was invited to apply for membership, and granting the membership would not exceed the maximum total membership set by the board for the use of the Hackerspace, the <span style="color:#FF0000">board</span> must inform the existing members of the application <span style="color:#FF0000">subject to the board's approval</span>.<br />
* An existing member may object to the granting of membership to an applicant by notifying <span style="color:#FF0000">a director</span> of the objection, who must then inform the board of the objection.<br />
* If two or more members object to the granting of membership to an applicant, the board must not approve the application for membership.<br />
* For insurance, security and safety reasons, the board may conduct a background check and interview the applicant before deciding whether or not to approve the application.<br />
<br />

* A 24-hour right of access to the Hackerspace, by whatever means are approved by the <span style="color:#FF0000">board</span>. The <span style="color:#FF0000">board</span> may temporarily close the Hackerspace for safety reasons (e.g. fumigation, construction).<br />

* If the board considers a member or a member's guest to be responsible for any loss or damage for which a claim is made under SkullSpace's insurance policy, the member is liable to SkullSpace, upon demand by the board, for the deductible amount under the insurance policy.<br />
* Members must be excellent to one another.<br />
<br />
'''Ceasing to be a member''' — A person ceases to be a member when<br />
* he or she resigns by written notice to the <span style="color:#FF0000">board</span>;<br />

* his or her membership is revoked by the board for cause, after giving the person an opportunity to respond to the board's proposal to revoke the membership.<br />
<br />
The board may also suspend a person's membership for cause. Such a membership may be reinstated upon application for reinstatement, which is to processed in the same manner as an application for membership (except that no application fee is payable by the applicant).<br />
<br />
When a person's membership is revoked or suspended, the person's rights of membership, including the person's right of access to the Hackerspace, is also suspended or revoked.<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>* Proposed: May 1, 2012<br />
* Voted on: May 29, 2012<br />
* Vote result: Passed<br />
<br />
It has come to light that we need some truly official documentation in place to protect the organization and its members in the event that a criminal act is committed and prosecuted that involves SkullSpace property in some way. I propose that we add the following to the '''Membership in SkullSpace''' section of the bylaws. I feel that this is the ''bare minimum'' that we can enact and still have a defensible legal stance against prosecution (IANAL). The goal here is to have something we can point to if we ever need and say "No, we didn't enable that criminal act! It's against our bylaws and everything!".<br />
<br />
I would like to point out the use of the word ''may'' in the '''Illegal activities''' section is designed to account for the varying severity, intention, and provability of the acts in question. Adding a ''must'' to the bylaws is rarely a good idea. Finally note that the activity in question must be covered by federal law to enact these provisions.<br />
<br />
'''The wording of the proposed amendment is subject to review by a lawyer.'''<br />
<br />
==Proposed==<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
'''Illegal activities''' — Any person, be they a member or a guest, known to have committed a criminal act as defined by the Criminal Code of Canada either at the Hackerspace or with any SkullSpace resources may be declared persona non grata by a board decision.<br />
<br /><br />
<br /><br />
'''Persona non grata''' — An individual declared persona non grata shall not:<br />
* Be permitted to apply for membership nor continue to be a member;<br />
* Be permitted to possess keys or other devices that would grant them access to the Hackerspace;<br />
* Be permitted to enter the Hackerspace;<br />
* Be permitted to possess any SkullSpace property;<br />
* Be welcome at any SkullSpace event;<br />
* Be welcome to interact with any of SkullSpace's electronic manifestations.<br />

<div>For everything in this list we are accepting both donations of items and lending of items.<br />
<br />
Abbreviations used:<br />
D - Donations. A straight up donation, where SkullSpace gets ownership of the item.<br />
L - Lending. A form of borrowing where the owner retains ownership but lends the item to skullspace indefinitely. The owner will have to sign a piece of paper stating that a) if if gets broken, SkullSpace or whomever broke it isn't liable, the owner is basically boned and b) the owner must provide at least 30 days notice before removing the item from the space (taking it back), in order to allow SkullSpace to obtain a replacement.<br />

<div>{{Warning policy}}<br />
<br />
The current '''Director''' in charge of members is: '''Michael K'''.<br />
<br />
==New members==<br />
This is the process for new members:<br />
* The '''applicant''' fills out a [[Membership Agreement|membership agreement]] and, if they desire, a PAD ([[Pre-authorized debit]]) form, and gives it to the appropriate '''Director''' (see above) at a weekly meeting.<br />
* The '''applicant''' is announced during the meeting and individual members have the opportunity (after the meeting) to talk to the applicant and get to know them/ask them questions/etc.<br />
* The '''Director''' announces the applicant's name on the announce@ [[Mailing List|mailing list]].<br />
<br />
...two weeks elapse, during which members may object...<br />
<br />
* The '''Director''' drops off the PAD at the bank.<br />
* The '''Director''' emails the mailman@ list with the member's name and email address<br />
* The '''Director''' arranges to get a key for the applicant<br />
<br />
The mailing list administrator(s):<br />
* Subscribe the '''applicant''' to announce@ immediately<br />
* Create a <firstname>.<lastname>@skullspace.ca email address for '''applicant''' after the two weeks elapse<br />
<br />
We do not store your banking information at all. We give it to the bank, and they store it.<br />
<br />
==Parting members==<br />
When a member leaves...<br />
* The '''member''' informs the appropriate '''Director''' (see above) with their intention of leaving<br />
* The '''director''' immediately:<br />
** Arranges to have the '''member's''' keyfob returned and disabled<br />
** Emails the '''member's''' name/email address to mailman@<br />
** Refunds any outstanding dues the '''member''' has paid<br />
<br />
The mailing list administrator(s):<br />
* Remove the @skullspace.ca email address<br />
<br />
