<div>Being Excellent To Each Other also means being a good neighbor, a good tenant, and a good fellow member of a shared space.<br />
<br />
== Being Excellent To Those Around Us ==<br />
<br />
=== Grounds/outside ===<br />
* The driveway is not a dumping ground, nor a storage area.<br />
* This goes double for the yard. Since this is now (will soon be) visible from Switchyard Park, it is not a hidden back yard--it will be Bloominglabs’ front yard for much of the public.<br />
* Grilling - cool, not a problem. Just make sure all fire stays inside the grill, clean up after and leave no sign (including tables & chairs) that there was an event.<br />
<br />
=== Fire exits & Pathways ===<br />
* Paths between rooms need to be clear. The easiest way to ensure people are not on fire is to make sure they can escape a fire.<br />
* Hallways are not storage rooms. Keep all hallways passable and free of clutter/debris.<br />
* Generally, the floor is not storage space.<br />
<br />
=== Neighborliness ===<br />
* We have neighbors on all sides: some in the same building, some in adjacent buildings, and some across the stream.<br />
* Don’t make it hard for them to use their own spaces as they see fit.<br />
<br />
=== Tenancy ===<br />
* Don’t make things hard for Mark, our landlord. Mark is our friend, not an adversary.<br />
* If you damage a part of the building, please let contact@bloominglabs.org know immediately. Let Mark know, too (PENDING APPROVAL FROM MARK).</div>Dakmhhttp://bloominglabs.org/index.php/Excellence_All_Around_UsExcellence All Around Us2020-05-27T23:16:25Z<p>Dakmh: Created page with "Being Excellent To Each Other also means being a good neighbor, a good tenant, and a good fellow member of a shared space. == Some specifics: == === Grounds/outside === * Th..."</p>

'''Consensus refresher:'''<br />
<br />
No “nos”, or full, positive agreement<br />
<br />
Example: Membership emails<br />
<br />
When emails go out, people are asked if they disapprove of the membership. If they don’t, the member is approved. This counts as consensus.<br />
<br />
'''Membership refresher:'''<br />
<br />
Members can join through attending 3 public nights and then applying<br />
<br />
Workshop attendance can also count for this number.<br />

<br />
==== July, 2014 ====<br />
No meetings, but relocated to South Rogers warehouse during this month. Much activity and discussions occurred during this time despite the lack of formal meetings to document.<br />
<br />
==== March 9th, 2014 ====<br />
<br />
Meeting agenda:<br />
* Discuss viability of leasing the warehouse Adam Nahas would like to sublet to us (different from the previous warehouse he originally proposed).<br />
** Positives: double our current space, more ability to expand as needed later on<br />
** Negatives: much more expensive, buildout costs are a concern, AC not available (heat questionable), not being able to get onto the main lease as we requested was a large problem.<br />
<br />
A final vote a week after this meeting decided against this move.<br />

<br />
==== December 7th, 2011 ====<br />
*Discussed treasurers report and the upcoming yearly meeting date. Previously the 21st was suggested, however Saturday January 7th is the only date that works for everyone who has spoken up at this time (in the morning hours).<br />
*Discussed workshop ideas for 2012. First idea was to have a two-part soldering workshop in February. First part would have a basic kit led by Nathan, second part would have a surface-mount focus led by Nick. Current dates for this are Feb 16th and the 23rd.<br />
*Attempted to hand-out RFID fobs, however a technical issue prevented us getting them programmed into the RFID access controller. This has been rectified as of this writing (12/28/11). <br />

Collected membership dues from core group, collected member addresses to have on file. Discussed liability waivers (everyone signed one), and safety guidelines that the space should adopt. Discussed meeting with lawyer. Discussed possibility of getting a RedCross instructor to teach first-aid to the group. Discussed meeting rules (with intent to keep them focused and as short as possible). Everyone shown location of fire extinguisher, smoke detector, and first-aid kit.<br />
<br />
Membership Agreement<br />
* Contact info - emergency contact info as well<br />

** Their may be issues if we dissolve the LLC with the equipment - we may need to get rid of it.<br />
* Nathan and Jenett will try to meet with a tax advisor next week<br />
<br />
Safety Training<br />
* As a group, go through how to use equipment<br />
* Trained group then trains future members<br />
* Barry - Should have some sort of requirements for being a trainer like proof they can use the equipment and we should all take a first aid course<br />
* Will - Red Cross will do training and what kind of safety equipment should we have?<br />
* Barry - Glasses, ear plugs, gloves, apron<br />
* Nathan - Menards has rated glasses for $1<br />

* Will - We may need to remove people who are "damaging the harmony of the group"<br />
* Nathan - Always be excellent to each other.<br />
* Will - limit the number of full members and does making people members mean a difference in liability?<br />
* Barry - Perhaps there could be different levels of membership<br />
<br />
==== June 30, 2010 ====<br />
<br />
Attendees: Nathan, Joe, Nick, Jon, Steve, Will.<br />
<br />
Discussed possible names. See the wiki page for details [[Possible_Names]].<br />
<br />
Discussed the possibility of naming a President, Treasurer, etc. Decided not to do that at this time, but Stephen Charlesworth was named Secretary.<br />
<br />
Discussion of dues and rent.<br />
In order to make the room/space a reality we need a plan to fund this.<br />
We will not at this time set a definite rate for monthly dues, but the number $40 for full membership was thrown out there.<br />
Will possibly have different tiers.<br />
<br />
Also, it'd be good to have other conditions for membership (existing members vote on new members).<br />
<br />
Pondered possibly starting an LLC, talking with a lawyer, etc. to make things more formal and official.<br />
<br />
Q: are their free consultations for non-profits offered thru I.U.?<br />
<br />
==== Informal Meetings January through June 2010 ====<br />
Many informal meetings held between these dates, general topics.<br />
<br />
==== December 1st, 2009 ====<br />
Rex worked on his X-Y stepper motor rig. Discussed having a surface mount class with Nick, need to acquire some hardware first. Rex offered his place up for a future meeting location, discussed having this early 2010 on a Friday evening.<br />
<br />
==== November 24th, 2009 ====<br />
Nathan assisted Will on the fringe detector circuit, tested out different photo-transistors. Barry got his CD-R laser operational (removed from the drive).<br />
<br />
==== November 17th, 2009 ====<br />
Met at Barry & Jenn's house while Jenett was away at SC09. Rex and Will got the [[Laser_Interferometer]] fringe detector circuit operational. Steve tested an RFID reader on his Arduino. Jenn worked on her LED bracelet. Barry extracted a high power laser from a CD burner.<br />
<br />
==== November 10th, 2009 ====<br />
Will brought his [[Laser_Interferometer]] gear and set it up with Nathan's green laser pointer. Started working on building a detector to count fringes. Rex worked on an old Oscilloscope.<br />
<br />
==== November 3rd, 2009 ====<br />
General topics covered.<br />
<br />
==== October 27th, 2009 ====<br />
10th meeting. General topics covered. Nathan setup a laptop to run Graffiti Research Lab's Laser Tag projector/laser tracking program for use at Phreaknic 13. Jenett disassembled a VCR to get a motor as well as worked on a costume. Also worked on her laser harp project.<br />
<br />
==== October 20th, 2009 ====<br />
9th meeting. General topics covered.<br />
<br />
==== October 13th, 2009 ====<br />
No meeting<br />
<br />
==== October 6th, 2009 ====<br />
8th meeting, 10 attendees. Jenett tested out Will's telescope CCD with the microscope. Will brought his Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope and showed off his new ability to control the X-Y axis control through Scheme. <br />
<br />
==== September 29th, 2009 ====<br />
7th meeting, 9 attendees. Started off by making speakers out of wire coils attached to the bottom of plastic cups. Jenett tested out a microscope. Nathan demoed his Arduino kiosk input device he's working on. Several of us debugged a few of the AVR programmers and got them back into working condition again.<br />
<br />
==== September 22nd, 2009 ====<br />
Sixth meeting, 9 attendees. Started off by reconfiguring WiFi for easier access of attendees. Next 1.5 hours was a formal discussion about the direction of the space, what projects people are working on, and about continued use of Jenett's basement. At the end, Rex showed us the complete process of how he etches circuit boards, creating 6 ATiny programmer boards in the process.<br />
<br />
Discussion points:<br />
*We may continue using Jenett's basement for another 6 months (until Apr 2010), at that time we will re-evaluate if use of the basement is still acceptable or meeting our needs. If we have enough interest we may begin discussing becoming more formal as a group and finding a space to rent.<br />
*If we get to a point that we have shared tools stored in the space then unattended use of the basement can be accommodated by installing an outside door lock and a door at the top of the stairs.<br />
*All agreed that we need to have our weekly meeting even if the basement is configured to allow unattended access, a large part of this group is sharing knowledge while we are all together at the same time.<br />
*All agreed that for now, while meeting in Jenett's basement, the space will be invite only (read: we are not advertising the group or otherwise publicly seeking more attendees. However, if you found us and are interested ask us if you can attend a meeting and you will more than likely be invited). Unattended access to the basement, if configured, would only be provided to attendees that have been to several meetings and are in good standing.<br />
*The issue of a more formal name for our group and moving the wiki/mailing list to a new name was raised, it was decided it was not a critical issue at this point. At the 6 month mark we can revisit the issue if/when a more formal entity is started.<br />
*Mark discussed the makerbot and how he intends to buy one in the near future; also that if we where interested he could bring it in to a meeting so we can try using it<br />
*Discussed the idea of having regular presentations on our own areas of expertise, Nathan volunteered to do this first on a small Arduino program he wrote at the next meeting<br />
*Round table discussion of what projects each of us wants to work on and accomplish <br />
<br />
==== September 15th, 2009 ====<br />
Fifth meeting, 9 attendees. General AVR and Arduino free-for-all.<br />
<br />
==== September 8th, 2009 ====<br />
Fourth meeting, 6 attendees. More AVR programming, discussed microcontroller projects for True Dungeon. N64 power cord repairs. Nathan setup his 5V 20A regulated power supply so each person can power their breadboard without having to find an outlet to plug-in a power brick. Uploaded more AVR code to the wiki for easy access. At 9:16pm we watched the International Space Station and the shuttle Discovery fly over Bloomington together, quite fantastic!<br />
<br />
==== September 1st, 2009 ====<br />
Third meeting (Jenett's basement - all future meetings will be here unless otherwise specified), 9 attendees. Setup tables and chairs in the basement, moved in mini fridge from the garage. Everyone setup proto boards with AVR/ATMega chips, worked out problems with ATTiny USB programmers and avr_dude/gcc software. Uploaded AVR blinky test code to the wiki ([[AVR]]). Looked at Jupiter with Jenett's 8" telescope at the end of the evening.<br />
<br />
==== August 19th, 2009 ====<br />
Second meeting (Max's Place), 9 attendees. Discussed what it is we want to accomplish with this group and what people want to get out of it. Agreed to meet at Jenett's house for our next meeting to learn AVR programming and discuss using her basement as a future meeting <br />
location and potential hacker space.<br />
<br />
==== June 6th, 2009 ====<br />
First meeting (Bakehouse), 4 attendees. Discussed forming a group of people before moving forwards with the space. Also discussed having an informal "group tool sharing" program.<br />

No meetings, but relocated to South Rogers warehouse during this month. Much activity and discussions occurred during this time despite the lack of formal meetings to document.<br />
<br />
==== March 9th, 2014 ====<br />
<br />
Meeting agenda:<br />
* Discuss viability of leasing the warehouse Adam Nahas would like to sublet to us (different from the previous warehouse he originally proposed).<br />
** Positives: double our current space, more ability to expand as needed later on<br />
** Negatives: much more expensive, buildout costs are a concern, AC not available (heat questionable), not being able to get onto the main lease as we requested was a large problem.<br />
<br />
A final vote a week after this meeting decided against this move.<br />

Attendees: Nathan, Joe, Nick, Jon, Steve, Will.<br />
<br />
Discussed possible names. See the wiki page for details [[Possible_Names]].<br />
<br />
Discussed the possibility of naming a President, Treasurer, etc. Decided not to do that at this time, but Stephen Charlesworth was named Secretary.<br />
<br />
Discussion of dues and rent.<br />
In order to make the room/space a reality we need a plan to fund this.<br />
We will not at this time set a definite rate for monthly dues, but the number $40 for full membership was thrown out there.<br />
Will possibly have different tiers.<br />
<br />
Also, it'd be good to have other conditions for membership (existing members vote on new members).<br />
<br />
Pondered possibly starting an LLC, talking with a lawyer, etc. to make things more formal and official.<br />

Nathan demoed his Arduino kiosk input device he's working on. Several of us debugged a few of the AVR programmers and got them back into working condition again.<br />
<br />
==== September 22nd, 2009 ====<br />
Sixth meeting, 9 attendees. Started off by reconfiguring WiFi for easier access of attendees. Next 1.5 hours was a formal discussion about the direction of the space, what projects people are working on, and about continued use of Jenett's basement. At the end, Rex showed us the complete process of how he etches circuit boards, creating 6 ATiny programmer boards in the process.<br />
<br />
Discussion points:<br />
*We may continue using Jenett's basement for another 6 months (until Apr 2010), at that time we will re-evaluate if use of the basement is still acceptable or meeting our needs. If we have enough interest we may begin discussing becoming more formal as a group and finding a space to rent.<br />
*If we get to a point that we have shared tools stored in the space then unattended use of the basement can be accommodated by installing an outside door lock and a door at the top of the stairs.<br />
*All agreed that we need to have our weekly meeting even if the basement is configured to allow unattended access, a large part of this group is sharing knowledge while we are all together at the same time.<br />
*All agreed that for now, while meeting in Jenett's basement, the space will be invite only (read: we are not advertising the group or otherwise publicly seeking more attendees. However, if you found us and are interested ask us if you can attend a meeting and you will more than likely be invited). Unattended access to the basement, if configured, would only be provided to attendees that have been to several meetings and are in good standing.<br />
*The issue of a more formal name for our group and moving the wiki/mailing list to a new name was raised, it was decided it was not a critical issue at this point. At the 6 month mark we can revisit the issue if/when a more formal entity is started.<br />
*Mark discussed the makerbot and how he intends to buy one in the near future; also that if we where interested he could bring it in to a meeting so we can try using it<br />
*Discussed the idea of having regular presentations on our own areas of expertise, Nathan volunteered to do this first on a small Arduino program he wrote at the next meeting<br />
*Round table discussion of what projects each of us wants to work on and accomplish <br />

No meetings, but relocated to South Rogers warehouse during this month. Much activity and discussions occurred during this time despite the lack of formal meetings to document.<br />
<br />
==== March 9th, 2014 ====<br />
<br />
Meeting agenda:<br />
* Discuss viability of leasing the warehouse Adam Nahas would like to sublet to us (different from the previous warehouse he originally proposed).<br />
** Positives: double our current space, more ability to expand as needed later on<br />
** Negatives: much more expensive, buildout costs are a concern, AC not available (heat questionable), not being able to get onto the main lease as we requested was a large problem.<br />
<br />

== Donations ==<br />
<br />
We appreciate donations! However, please bring all donations to Bloominglabs during our Public Hack Meetings (see above). That gives us a chance to decide what of your donation is useful to us. For things we can't use, we'll help you figure out other groups in Bloomington who would appreciate them or help you determine the best way to dispose of them.<br />
<br />
== Current Initiatives ==<br />
<br />
These are things we are working on, or would like to see, to improve the space. If you are interested in any of these, feel free to work on it! If you are unsure where to start, please [[Main Page#Stay_informed|get in touch]]!<br />
<br />
* improve the tool and workspace arrangement and cleanliness<br />
* purge excess junk<br />
* vend snacks and drinks (we used to do this at the previous space, but haven't since moving)<br />
* revive the asset management system, and add our new assets to it<br />
* make Bloominglabs's web presence friendlier<br />
** The page you get when people from the public go to [http://bloominglabs.org bloominglabs.org] has an overwhelming amount of information on it.<br />
** The [[New Members]] page and the [[Membership Manual]] should be merged together.<br />
** In general, it would be great to see more participation in the wiki, especially on the [Projects] page.<br />
** It might be good to have a page that lists all members with their name, picture, username, email, interests, areas of the space they are familiar with, etc.<br />
* make the [[3D Printers]] more reliable, make the 3D printing process easier, and spread the knowledge<br />
* wire the CCTV system<br />
* wire speakers in the lounge (and maybe in the classroom)<br />

<br />
== [[Public meetings|Meetings]] ==<br />
Currently we meet every Wednesday from 7pm to 10pm and every Saturday from 1pm to 4pm at 1840 S. Walnut Street, Bloomington, Indiana. These meetings are open to the public; anyone is welcome to attend. Having access to tools is only part of the equation. Socializing with people and learning from each other is another large benefit from our group. Pretty much whatever people want to work on or learn is fair game. If it's cool and interesting then we are all interested.<br />

<br />
== Who are we? ==<br />
We are a bunch of people that want to do interesting things and explore the world and technology around us. Expression of this interest takes at least as many forms as we have members, and often employs an amalgam of found and newly-constructed hardware and/or open-source and self-authored software components, but may be as simple as screwing some pieces of wood together to make a useful tool we don't have yet.<br />
<br />
Bloominglabs was forged from the Bloomington Hackerspace Initiative and the former IU Robotics Club.<br />

<br />
== What is a hackerspace? ==<br />
A hackerspace is a physical location where people can share resources for their own creative pursuits. It's also a resource where people can come in off the street and advance their own knowledge. In urban locations it can often be hard to find places to weld/build/make noise and keep projects on-going without having to tear down and put-up your work each evening. With a hacker space people can work on their projects and not worry about annoying their neighbors or spouses. The social aspect is also an incredibly important component. Having people to bounce ideas off of and discuss your projects with when you get stuck is a great thing.<br />

<br />
We appreciate donations! However, please bring all donations to Bloominglabs during our Public Hack Meetings (see above). That gives us a chance to decide what of your donation is useful to us. For things we can't use, we'll help you figure out other groups in Bloomington who would appreciate them or help you determine the best way to dispose of them.<br />
<br />
== Current Initiatives ==<br />
<br />
These are things we are working on, or would like to see, to improve the space. If you are interested in any of these, feel free to work on it! If you are unsure where to start, please [[Main Page#Stay_informed|get in touch]]!<br />
<br />
* improve the tool and workspace arrangement and cleanliness<br />
* purge excess junk<br />
* vend snacks and drinks (we used to do this at the previous space, but haven't since moving)<br />
* revive the asset management system, and add our new assets to it<br />
* make Bloominglabs's web presence friendlier<br />
** The page you get when people from the public go to [http://bloominglabs.org bloominglabs.org] has an overwhelming amount of information on it.<br />
** The [[New Members]] page and the [[Membership Manual]] should be merged together.<br />
** In general, it would be great to see more participation in the wiki, especially on the [Projects] page.<br />
** It might be good to have a page that lists all members with their name, picture, username, email, interests, areas of the space they are familiar with, etc.<br />
* make the [[3D Printers]] more reliable, make the 3D printing process easier, and spread the knowledge<br />
* wire the CCTV system<br />
* wire speakers in the lounge (and maybe in the classroom)<br />

<br />
== [[Public meetings|Meetings]] ==<br />
Currently we meet every Wednesday from 7pm to 10pm and every Saturday from 1pm to 4pm at 1840 S. Walnut Street, Bloomington, Indiana. These meetings are open to the public; anyone is welcome to attend. Having access to tools is only part of the equation. Socializing with people and learning from each other is another large benefit from our group. Pretty much whatever people want to work on or learn is fair game. If it's cool and interesting then we are all interested.<br />

== Who are we? ==<br />
We are a bunch of people that want to do interesting things and explore the world and technology around us. Expression of this interest takes at least as many forms as we have members, and often employs an amalgam of found and newly-constructed hardware and/or open-source and self-authored software components, but may be as simple as screwing some pieces of wood together to make a useful tool we don't have yet.<br />
<br />
Bloominglabs was forged from the Bloomington Hackerspace Initiative and the former IU Robotics Club.<br />

== What is a hackerspace? ==<br />
A hackerspace is a physical location where people can share resources for their own creative pursuits. It's also a resource where people can come in off the street and advance their own knowledge. In urban locations it can often be hard to find places to weld/build/make noise and keep projects on-going without having to tear down and put-up your work each evening. With a hacker space people can work on their projects and not worry about annoying their neighbors or spouses. The social aspect is also an incredibly important component. Having people to bounce ideas off of and discuss your projects with when you get stuck is a great thing.<br />

== Article VII: Conflict of Interest Policy ==<br />
<br />
=== Section 1: Purpose ===<br />
The Corporation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization. Maintenance of its tax-exempt status is important both for its continued financial stability and for public support. Therefore, the IRS as well as state regulatory and tax officials view the<br />
operations of the Corporation as a public trust, which is subject to scrutiny by and accountable to such governmental authorities as well as to members of the public.<br />
<br />
Consequently, there exists between the Corporation and its board and officers and the public a fiduciary duty, which carries with it a broad and unbending duty of loyalty and fidelity. The board and its officers have the responsibility of administering the affairs of the Corporation honestly and prudently, and of exercising their best care, skill, and judgment for the sole benefit of the Corporation. Those persons shall exercise the utmost good faith in all transactions involved in their duties, and they shall not use their positions with the Corporation or knowledge gained therefrom for their personal benefit. The interests of the organization must be the first priority in all decisions and actions.<br />
<br />
=== Section 2: Persons Concerned: ===<br />
This statement is directed not only to directors and officers, but to all who can influence the actions of the Corporation. For example, this would include all full membership members, and anyone who has proprietary information concerning the Corporation.<br />
<br />
=== Section 3: Areas in Which Conflict May Arise ===<br />
Conflicts of interest may arise in the relations of directors and officers with any of the following third parties:<br />
<br />
# Persons and firms supplying goods and services to the Corporation<br />
# Persons and firms from whom the Corporation leases property and equipment<br />
# Persons and firms with whom the Corporation is dealing or planning to deal in connection with the gift, purchase or sale of real estate, securities, or other property<br />
# Competing organizations<br />
# Agencies, organizations and associations which affect the operations of the Corporation<br />
<br />
=== Section 4: Nature of Conflicting Interest ===<br />
A conflicting interest may be defined as an interest, direct or indirect, with any persons or firms mentioned in Section 3. Such an interest might arise through:<br />
<br />
# Owning stock or holding debt or other proprietary interests in any third party dealing with the Corporation<br />
# Holding office, serving on the board, participating in management, or being otherwise employed (or formerly employed) with any third party dealing with the Corporation<br />
# Receiving remuneration for services with respect to individual transactions involving the Corporation<br />
# Receiving personal gifts or loans from third parties dealing or competing with the Corporation. Receipt of any gift is disapproved except gifts of a value less than $50, which could not be refused without discourtesy. No personal gift of money should ever be accepted.<br />
<br />
=== Section 5: Interpretation of this Statement of Policy ===<br />
The areas of conflicting interest listed in Section 3, and the relations in those areas which may give rise to conflict, as listed in Section 4, are not exhaustive. Conflicts might arise in other areas or through other relations. It is assumed that the directors and officers will recognize such areas and relation by analogy. The fact that one of the interests described in Section 4 exists does not necessarily mean that a conflict exists, or that the conflict, if it exists, is material enough to be of practical importance, or if material, that upon full disclosure of all relevant facts and circumstances it is necessarily adverse to the interests of the Corporation. However, it is the policy of the board that the existence of any of the interests described in Section 4 shall be disclosed before any transaction is consummated. It shall be the continuing responsibility of the board and officers to scrutinize their transactions and outside business interests and relationships for potential conflicts and to immediately make such disclosures.<br />
<br />
=== Section 6: Disclosure Policy and Procedure ===<br />
Transactions with parties with whom a conflicting interest exists may be undertaken only if all of the following are observed:<br />
# The conflicting interest is fully disclosed; <br />
# The person with the conflict of interest is excluded from the discussion and approval of such transaction;<br />
# A competitive bid or comparable valuation exists; and <br />
# The board has determined that the transaction is in the best interest of the organization.<br />
<br />
Disclosure in the organization should be made to the president (or if she or he is the one with the conflict), then to the treasurer, who shall bring the matter to the attention of the board. Disclosure involving directors should be made to the president or if she or he is the one with the conflict, then to any other board member who shall bring these matters to the board or a duly constituted committee.<br />
<br />
The board or a duly constituted committee shall determine whether a conflict exists and in the case of an existing conflict, whether the contemplated transaction may be authorized as just, fair, and reasonable to the Corporation. The decision of the board or a duly constituted committee thereof on these matters will rest in their sole discretion, and their concern must be the welfare of the Corporation and the advancement of its purpose.<br />
<br />
== Article VIII: Amendments ==<br />
<br />
=== Section 1: Amendments ===<br />
<br />
These bylaws may be amended only when an amendment proposal petition is approved at a membership meeting and the amendment is signed by all (100%) of responding voting members. A good-faith attempt must be made to contact all voting members with notice of such petition in solicitation of a response vote. This attempt may be made electronically.<br />
<br />
Voting members must be given at least two weeks to give a response vote. If a response vote is not received from a voting member during the voting period, their absence of vote will not affect the result of the vote.<br />
<br />
== Article IX: Dissolution ==<br />
<br />
=== Section 1: Dissolution ===<br />
<br />
If Corporation is forced to dissolve due to unfortunate circumstances, court order, or planned dissolution, the remaining assets and funds of the Corporation will be dispersed to a 501(c)(3) organization with similar purpose, as determined by the board of directors.<br />

== DAKMH Suggestion ==<br />
<br />
The Bloominglabs Space Rangers are a group of Members who, at Bloominglabs public events, whether on-site or outside Bloominglabs, represent the principles upon which Bloominglabs is based: Excellence and Fire Suppression. These reflect our only two rules: "Be Excellent to Each Other" and "Don't be on Fire".<br />
<br />
"Being Excellent" includes:<br />
Welcoming newcomers to the space<br />
Making sure the space is clean and welcoming before public hours<br />
Making sure surfaces are clear for workshops<br />
Helping people with directions, tours, or guidance to a member with knowledge<br />
<br />
"Fire suppression" can also mean many things:<br />
The literal: don't let the space, its members, or its visitors burn<br />
The first-degree figurative: minimize risk of injury<br />
Second degree figurative: minimize risk to Bloominglabs should someone become injured (make sure waivers are filled and signed by All) <br />
The further-afield: minimize risk to Bloominglabs by helping remove non-members displaying non-excellence</div>Dakmhhttp://bloominglabs.org/index.php/Talk:Space_RangersTalk:Space Rangers2019-06-10T01:29:46Z<p>Dakmh: Created page with "Alternate "Code" elements:"</p>

== [[Public meetings|Meetings]] ==<br />
Currently we meet every Wednesday at 7:00pm at 1840 S. Walnut Street, Bloomington, Indiana. These meetings are open to the public; anyone is welcome to attend. We usually meet for 2-3 hours and have a lot of fun. Having access to tools is only part of the equation, socializing with people and learning from each other is another large benefit from our group. Pretty much whatever people want to work on or learn is fair game. If it's cool and interesting then we are all interested.<br />

<br />
== Who are we? ==<br />
We are a bunch of people that want to do interesting things and explore the world and technology around us. Expression of this interest takes at least as many forms as we have members, and often employs an amalgam of found and newly-constructed hardware and/or open-source and self-authored software components, but may be as simple as screwing some pieces of wood together to make a useful tool we don't have yet.<br />
<br />
Bloominglabs was forged from the Bloomington Hackerspace Initiative and the former IU Robotics Club.<br />
<br />
* Read our [[Bylaws]] for a more formalized overview<br />
<br />
<br />
== What is a hackerspace? ==<br />
A hackerspace is a physical location where people can share resources for their own creative pursuits. It's also a resource where people can come in off the street and advance their own knowledge. In urban locations it can often be hard to find places to weld/build/make noise and keep projects on-going without having to tear down and put-up your work each evening. With a hacker space people can work on their projects and not worry about annoying their neighbors or spouses. The social aspect is also an incredibly important component. Having people to bounce ideas off of and discuss your projects with when you get stuck is a great thing.<br />

== What is a hackerspace? ==<br />
A hackerspace is a physical location where people can share resources for their own creative pursuits. It's also a resource where people can come in off the street and advance their own knowledge. In urban locations it can often be hard to find places to weld/build/make noise and keep projects on-going without having to tear down and put-up your work each evening. With a hacker space people can work on their projects and not worry about annoying their neighbors or spouses. The social aspect is also an incredibly important component. Having people to bounce ideas off of and discuss your projects with when you get stuck is a great thing.<br />

Currently we meet every Wednesday at 7:00pm at 1840 S. Walnut Street, Bloomington, Indiana. These meetings are open to the public; anyone is welcome to attend. We usually meet for 2-3 hours and have a lot of fun. Having access to tools is only part of the equation, socializing with people and learning from each other is another large benefit from our group. Pretty much whatever people want to work on or learn is fair game. If it's cool and interesting then we are all interested.<br />

== Who are we? ==<br />
We are a bunch of people that want to do interesting things and explore the world and technology around us. Expression of this interest takes at least as many forms as we have members, and often employs an amalgam of found and newly-constructed hardware and/or open-source and self-authored software components, but may be as simple as screwing some pieces of wood together to make a useful tool we don't have yet.<br />
<br />
Bloominglabs was forged from the Bloomington Hackerspace Initiative and the former IU Robotics Club.<br />

<br />
== What is a hackerspace? ==<br />
A hackerspace is a physical location where people can share resources for their own creative pursuits. It's also a resource where people can come in off the street and advance their own knowledge. In urban locations it can often be hard to find places to weld/build/make noise and keep projects on-going without having to tear down and put-up your work each evening. With a hacker space people can work on their projects and not worry about annoying their neighbors or spouses. The social aspect is also an incredibly important component. Having people to bounce ideas off of and discuss your projects with when you get stuck is a great thing.<br />

Currently we meet every Wednesday at 7:00pm at 1840 S. Walnut Street, Bloomington, Indiana. These meetings are open to the public; anyone is welcome to attend. We usually meet for 2-3 hours and have a lot of fun. Having access to tools is only part of the equation, socializing with people and learning from each other is another large benefit from our group. Pretty much whatever people want to work on or learn is fair game. If it's cool and interesting then we are all interested.<br />

== Who are we? ==<br />
We are a bunch of people that want to do interesting things and explore the world and technology around us. Expression of this interest takes at least as many forms as we have members, and often employs an amalgam of found and newly-constructed hardware and/or open-source and self-authored software components, but may be as simple as screwing some pieces of wood together to make a useful tool we don't have yet.<br />
<br />
Bloominglabs was forged from the Bloomington Hackerspace Initiative and the former IU Robotics Club.<br />

== What is a hackerspace? ==<br />
A hackerspace is a physical location where people can share resources for their own creative pursuits. It's also a resource where people can come in off the street and advance their own knowledge. In urban locations it can often be hard to find places to weld/build/make noise and keep projects on-going without having to tear down and put-up your work each evening. With a hacker space people can work on their projects and not worry about annoying their neighbors or spouses. The social aspect is also an incredibly important component. Having people to bounce ideas off of and discuss your projects with when you get stuck is a great thing.<br />

== [[Public meetings|Meetings]] ==<br />
Currently we meet every Wednesday at 7:00pm at 1840 S. Walnut Street, Bloomington, Indiana. These meetings are open to the public; anyone is welcome to attend. We usually meet for 2-3 hours and have a lot of fun. Having access to tools is only part of the equation, socializing with people and learning from each other is another large benefit from our group. Pretty much whatever people want to work on or learn is fair game. If it's cool and interesting then we are all interested.<br />

== Who are we? ==<br />
We are a bunch of people that want to do interesting things and explore the world and technology around us. Expression of this interest takes at least as many forms as we have members, and often employs an amalgam of found and newly-constructed hardware and/or open-source and self-authored software components, but may be as simple as screwing some pieces of wood together to make a useful tool we don't have yet.<br />
<br />
Bloominglabs was forged from the Bloomington Hackerspace Initiative and the former IU Robotics Club.<br />
<br />
* Read our [[Bylaws]] for a more formalized overview<br />
<br />
<br />
== What is a hackerspace? ==<br />
A hackerspace is a physical location where people can share resources for their own creative pursuits. It's also a resource where people can come in off the street and advance their own knowledge. In urban locations it can often be hard to find places to weld/build/make noise and keep projects on-going without having to tear down and put-up your work each evening. With a hacker space people can work on their projects and not worry about annoying their neighbors or spouses. The social aspect is also an incredibly important component. Having people to bounce ideas off of and discuss your projects with when you get stuck is a great thing.<br />
