Discussions about tweaks to 57 North organisational principles, articles of association

by Andy Gaskell

Hiya With everything now being a bit post-covid, and us planning an AGM in April next year, it's probably a good time to start looking at any changes to the hacklab's organisational principles and policies. In practice this is usually a constant and ongoing process, but we've had a bit of a hiatus during the covid permacrisis. So, our organisational principles and policies are outlined in our Articles of Association, which we keep in git at... https://github.com/hackerdeen/articles/blob/master/hacklab_articles.pdf We decided a wee while ago that we'd use Github issues to propose and discuss changes to the articles. These can also be used to discuss issues further at board meetings or AGMs. The "issues" can be viewed, added to and discussed at... https://github.com/hackerdeen/articles/issues ...there are four issues there just now, nothing earth shattering really, more just tweaks to help the hackspace run a bit smoother. From these issues, we'll propose solutions, changes to the articles of association, which will be implemented as pull requests for modifications to the articles document. Once everyone is more or less happy with proposed changes, as per any applicable processes. Anyways, sorry, it all sounds a bit formal, it's not meant to be really, have a look and please get stuck in adding comments and raising issues. Just a bit of an email to explain this process generally and encourage folk to get involved. Hope this all sounds ok :) Cheers Andy

by Andy Gaskell

Hey I'll be along from 7ish, might be a flying visit though, depending on kid shuttling requirements. Fedverse node sounds a good idea.

AGM scheduling

by Iain R. Learmonth

Hi All, I am attempting to schedule a good date for the AGM. Our articles require that the AGM is held in the calendar month of April, so I'm proposing that we hold the AGM on the 4th April 2023 at 20:00 at the hackerspace. This will need to be arranged at a board meeting before we can officially announce the meeting but I'd like to get feedback on the date, if there would be any major clash that we'd need to take into consideration. Thanks, Iain.

Critical Mass Aberdeen tomorrow

by Andy Gaskell

Hiya Just a wee heads up, it's the 2nd Critical Mass Aberdeen tomorrow. I went along last month and I'd totally recommend it, if you like cycling of any kind, meeting a nice bunch of folk, or urban activism, I'd say come along :) It starts at 6pm from outside Marischal College, last friday of every month. There were around 30 or 40 folk last week despite the sketchy weather. I think some people went for a drink at 6 degrees north afterwards. It's around 10k, from 2 laps, but you could just do 1 lap if you prefer to do 5k. It's a pretty leisurely pace really. The map and numbers from Strava on my phone last month looked like: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fd7-8_ZXEAoNqi7?format=jpg General info: https://sites.google.com/view/critical-mass-aberdeen/what-i-need-to-know Twitter: https://twitter.com/CMAberdeen Their blog: https://cmaberdeen.wordpress.com/ P&J article about last month's: https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/aberdeen-aberdeenshire/4862266/bi… I'll be heading along, see you there if you're coming too, more the merrier :) Sorry if you knew about this already, or if you live too far away to make it.
