Greeter Committee
Tuesday, 12-Aug-2014
It's up to greeters to keep people out who don't belong here. This filters noise at the earliest stage.
How do we decide who belongs here and who doesn't?
- Need to be contributing to and benefitting from Noisebridge
- Zero tolerance for intolerant people
Who is the ideal person?
- Attends a class
- Teaches a class that people like
- Works on cool projects
We need greeters who are:
- Not liable to power-trip
- Able to read people
- Able to be assertive when necessary
Need a formalized process for the greeters:
- Nomination of people for the role
- Background check
- Training process
Need a way to identify members:
- List of members (check against photo ID)
- RFID
- NFC
- Multiple methods would be ideal
Where do we go from here?
- Ideally we'll have some set open hours: 8-11 is a good target
- It would be ideal to have two greeters here at a time (would also be a good way to vet new greeters)
- For now, if there are two greeters at the door, we can keep the door open. If not, a member needs to step up to take the visitor under their wing.
TODO:
- List of people who are banned (preferably with pictures)
- Wiki page describing the responsibilities of the greeters
- Card with an outline of what we're about
- A few fictitious "profiles" to illustrate the ideal noisebridge-er(?)
