Logistics and Infrastructure
------------

+ Bylaws up and WiP
+ Standardized communications:

	* [Weekly meatspace meetings](https://github.com/nortonimperiallabs/nortonimperiallabs/blob/master/announcements/weeklyMeetings.md) for decision-making
	* ##\#SFNIL on freenode for real-time discussion
	* [Google group](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/sfhackerspace) for asynchronous discussion
	* [Wiki](http://wiki.nortonimperiallabs.org/) for asynchronous temporary content
	* [@NIL/NIL github repository](https://github.com/nortonimperiallabs/nortonimperiallabs) for persistent content

+ Autodeployment still an open issue (we need to resolve this quickly so we can get branding and such on our static webpage pronto)
+ Mailing list vs. forum
+ Infra documentation
+ CMS
+ Current decision making structure (@NIL.NIL\master/documents/bylaws/TemporaryBylaws.txt
	
> *Decree, if you have problems with what happens in a meeting, show up at the next one to change it*

	* Decisions made at weekly group meetings are put into effect immediately (unless otherwise specified) and apply to the whole group.
	* For decisions made at weekly group meetings, a minimum of 3 members must be present to establish a quorum.
	* If you were absent from a meeting and have concerns with a decision that was made there, show up next week and add it to the agenda during the "summary of previous week" section. This section comes first, so be on time.
	* Decisions made in the process of completing action items from a weekly meeting should generally be considered equivalent to those made in weekly meetings.

Pending changes (20 minutes)

  • Temporary branching structure

    • Commits to master should represent finalized content. Please do not commit working copies to master. Changes to master should be discussed at weekly meetings prior to merging.
    • For changes relating to specific action items from weekly meetings, create a private branch in @NIL/NIL/dev/ for your work. For example, Badg created @NIL/NIL/dev/bylaws to work on his assigned action items from the 2014 03 03 meeting.
      • Collaborators should submit suggestions to private branches. For example, rrix might add suggestions in @NIL/NIL/dev/bylaws/rrix
      • The action item assignee (in this example, Badg) is free to adopt or ignore those suggestions
      • Specific action-item development branches may be merged directly to master
    • For changes unrelated to specific action items, create a private branch in @NIL/NIL/unassigned/ for your work. For example, Badg might create @NIL/NIL/unassigned/procedures to draft a procedure for lathe access control.
      • Unassigned branches may be courteously merged into by others. The creator of the branch has every right to revert those commits.
      • Unassigned branches should not be merged directly into master, but should first be merged into the intermediate @NIL/NIL/development branch
      • Pending changes on the catch-all @NIL/NIL/development branch will be discussed at weekly meetings.
  • weeklyMeetings.md

  • README.md (propagating pertinent sections to relevant other parts)
