Meeting Minutes 06.02.13
This is a continued discussion about how to get started on larger roles/tasks and workplanning
Checkin:
-Matt is resetting and plugging back in after a stressful few weeks, slowly starting to sprout again
-Gordo is checking out, thinking about going on tour, unclear of what the future holds for him
-Kyle is a bridge, feelin' good, wants to listen to what other people are thinking, how their patience is wearing
additions to agenda for this meeting:
-plan for guests
- What's going on this week
- Chore chart
- Meal chart
- Room shuffle?
-Ethan is doin great, ready to get started on work, feels like hes got a lot to do, sent out requests for people to figure out how to start, waiting for responses
-Sophie has been working on short term tasks, feels abit like floating not grounded, wants to work on hellhouse, signed up mainly for future event stuff
-Meg has been on urgent right-now big project stuff the whole time, hasn't done a lot of small tasks, hasn't been able to time manage, needs some paid work
-Kaleigh is feeling healthy and happy, which took a while, feeling good about group, excited to start forming and norming, events are coming up real soon and has been working on a calendar, things need responses, has some loose threads wants to follow up with us on, is excited to start coordinating and learning about MR w/peeps who are at distance
-Zoe felt great working on illustration for kickstarter, otherwise feels lost, not sure being helpful, hasn't lived collectively, feels shy, not sure she fits in
Kaleigh: can we have time for talking about feelings? Make sure we create space for that
Kyle: We have the opportunity to create a conscious culture here, we have agency to figure out what that means
Gordo: It would be helpful to think about checking in constantly on things so we can always be fluid and changing
Matt: What about a buddy system? One person to be checkin in with a lot, constantly, so over time you feel super close to that person, makes it easier.
GUESTS:
- in the past the summer has seen the house packed with people, people show up no matter what we say
-if people are calling and asking about coming, do we want to try to pack them all into one clump of time? again, the people who didn't bother to call ahead of time will be the ones who will show up anyways
Kaleigh is happy to have people, esp. who have specific times they are here for and don't need constant feedback and help, as long as there is someone around to supervise
Gordo suggests its good to make space for people but actively manage their expectations, have a pool of to-do tasks, volunteer hours to be filled (is into people filling their hours with us)
Iggy is researching that
Meg is having trouble managing herself, can't concieve of managing others
Ethan would be into it if we had a to-do list for people to pitch in and contribute- we'd need to sort that out ASAP and put some work into it
Sophie asks does it make sense to have a maximum number of people here as guests roughly?
Kayleigh says we have a specific request for an intern, will suss out more info, are there concerns about that?
-capacity
-ethical considerations/wierdness around students being exploited as free labor while they
pay some university, not us
- can we keep in mind also social anxieties around having lots of new people around all the time?
Chore Situation:
- chore wheel?
- what about a chart, Kaleigh has made a list, Sophie will add dates, at the beginning of the week each week we can initial what we are doing for that week
- meal chart is on board
-let's fill both out every monday evening at dinner
Room Shuffle-

- silhouette and banners in the grange are going up, Kyle will be doing that one a day, may need an extra pair of hands for that
- there are 3 busted silhouettes that could be redrawn on wood and cut out again, any one or all three of them, if someone is into that
-Grange needs someone to pay attention to it, specifically needs to make sure it is cleaned before each of the next two upcoming Friday evenings (Ethan will make sure that gets added to collective calendars)
