[matilda] three proposals for monday

[gavin at cyber-rights.net]

>From me and J (and ben):

1. A locked room for the bar, so that there is no 'leakage' between 
events. This is important - some people are putting up the money to 
order beer, and other people are drinking it in the meantime and 
not repaying them.

2. To add "no sexism, racism or homophobia" to our ground rules on 
the wall. Apparently its not on there. This isn't covering all 
kinds of exclusion, and perhaps other people would like to propose 
others, and naturally they're free to propose them, and of course 
it's not an exhaustive list. But it's a start. Hopefully no one has 
a problem with opposing sexism, racism and homophobia in this 
space.

3. I and Ben want to have a meeting to produce a "welcome to 
matilda" poster. We'd like other people to come and help. It is NOT 
an overarching 'defining what we are' meeting. It's a much more 
feasible, specific and practical task than that. It is simply to 
produce one poster to introduce people new to the space (generally) 
to what we are and what you can do here. This is different to 
coming up with a set definition of what we are - The task proposed 
is simply to produce a single resource, which doesn't stop other 
people producing their own alternative versions of such a poster 
later on if they like. We will use the notes produced in the two 
'what we are' meetings to come up with something as representative 
as we can, and we will check our provisional poster ONCE with a 
monday meeting before producing the final poster.
