Allow people to pay for membership by parting and selling stuff (For 2010/08/04)

Advocate

Steph

Purpose

Let people part and sell the excess hardware that comes into the space to help pay membership dues

Text

Valuable--but not immediately useful--hardware keeps making its way to the space, but no one has time to take it apart, take pictures, and sell it. Mike in particular keeps finding all this valuable stuff in the dumpster at his work. We should let people who have time sell this stuff on Ebay or wherever to help pay for their memberships. This will help 1) people who don't otherwise have the money to be members 2) the quartermasters and members who don't want junk piling up 3) the Hive budget cuz more money is better than less.

Hive Ticket to The Next HOPE (For 2010/04/07)

Advocate

Far

Purpose

We should sponsor a member to go to The Next Hope in June, to staff the Hive76 table.

Text

It would be awesome to have a table at The Next Hope, to show off the cool stuff we do. However, on-site coordination the table in the Hackerspace Village means you don't get to see many talks. I propose we buy a ticket to Hope (as well as a bus ticket to/from the event) for 1 person to go to Hope. In exchange, they will spend 10+ hours manning the Hive76 table. This will cost Hive about $100 (and not more than $120) in total.

Buying Storage for the space (For 2010/04/07)

Advocate

Far

Purpose

We are accumulating stuff at the space, and we need to have a good way to sort and store it.

Text

To make the space easier to use, we need some better storage. I would like to spend $85 or less getting some more storage for the space. Especially storage for electronics components, small parts, etc. I Spoke to several hackerspaces about their storage, and the main things they mentioned were *labeling*, *clear bins*, *bins the right size* and *bins you can take out and put back in*. Based on these recommendations, more bin containers (like this) at approx $10 each, and 4 stacking bins (like this at approx $15 each).

Membership Dues Payment Deadlines (for meeting 3/17/2010)

Advocate

Adam K.

Purpose

The purpose of this proposal is to define a day of the month that membership dues must be paid by and the result of a member failing to pay by that date.

Text

As proposed, beginning 4/1/2010, all membership dues must be paid by the 14th of each month. On the 14th of the month, an email will go to the hive76-members list detailing which members' payments are not on record. On the 15th of the each month, all unpaid members will have their front door access disabled. After 30 days of delinquency, all other hive76 member accounts will be disabled, including blog, hive76 mail/docs, and hive76-members list. Exceptions to this policy can be made on request by mailing [email protected] and will require a majority vote by management.

Handling of Cash (for meeting 3/17/2010)

Advocate

Adam K.

Purpose

The purpose of this proposal is to define guidelines for safe handling of Hive76 funds, specifically cash.

Text

As proposed, all cash paid to Hive76 must be immediately deposited into a locked drop-box, along with description amount and source, until it can be retrieved by a member of management to be taken to the bank. Cash amounts under $100 must be deposited within 5 business days, amounts between $100-300 must be deposited in 48 hours, and any values over $300 must be deposited the same day. If available, we will transition to using Nighttime Deposit Bags from TD to alleviate the need for business-hour visits.
