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
