Did you see Mark's hot topics on how hes taken his ideas from prototype to
reality? Perhaps you've seen him online here where hes been looking to help
set up more classes for you all. Or maybe hes helped you out at the lab
while doing awesome hacking on his own projects?
I think hed like to finally get his card access and I'd like to sponsor
him.

=== Drink System moves to being a complete honors system. ===

Hey guys,
As you know, we have a fridge up front that contains a lot of drinks which
the lab pays for. We pay for it by providing a jar, and requesting that
people put money in it when they take a drink. This is what I would
describe as a partial honors system. Heatsync spends its own money to buy
drinks, but it relies on people paying for the drinks out of the goodness
of their heart. There is no enforcement to make sure people pay when they
take a drink.
I think this has its problems. The process involves what I recognize to be
three parts:
1. Since heatsync is buying the drinks, we have to account for it, and
collect it. This takes effort and record keeping.
2. From there once we have deposited it into a bank account, we have to
find a vendor and buy drinks from them often in a impersonal and convoluted
manner.
3.  Along the way we need some kind of survey mechanism to find out what
drinks people want.
Each one of these three parts has had its problems. Regarding (1) we have
at times mis-recorded, or failed to collect money. (2) we have had problems
with the reliability and pricing of our vendor. And (3) is that sometimes
we order drinks no one really likes.
So whats the alternative? Well first let me tell you a story.


Recently we had no drinks at all. Tim Gerrits took matters into his own

hands and took money out of the drink jar then went to the store and bought
drinks. He didnt do it because he had to, he did it because he recognized
it as easier and simpler than waiting around for our bureaucratic system do
get those drinks. In doing it himself I think he actually got a better
deal. As the treasurer, I cant really tolerate someone just grabbing
heatsync's money and spending it. But at the same time, I dont honestly
think the alternative is a better way. Recently we ran out of water, and I
didnt have cash. I was tempted to just take some of heatsyncs money and buy
water. But in doing so it would really not have been accounted for at all.
So right now, we are collecting money, and buying drinks, but we are only
managing to record some unknown percent of the spending/collection. The
data about how much we are collecting and spending for drinks its
meaningless.


Here is what I propose:

*9 For/1 Against - '''PASSED'''


*Complete Honors system:*

*
*Proposal by '''Michael Mathers'''

*0 For/4 Against - '''FAILED'''
Lets replace the drink jar, with some kind of container. Some group of
people will have access to this container, and they will go and buy drinks
when they want to.


*Pre-emptive rebuttals:*

1. It could be argued that this opens us up to all kinds of un-policeable
corruption, in which people constantly steal money from innocent donors.  
That certainly could be done, but I think the optimistic hacker spirit that
we all share chooses to believe that realistically people wont take
advantage of this. Or, at least it wont be taken advantage of to an extent
to makes it relatively worse to what we have now.


2. What group has spending privileged? I dont know! Lets argue about this.
*Proposal by '''Chad Stearns'''
We could just have a jar, which gives everyone the capacity to take money

and spend it. If thats too open for you, we could put it under lock and
key, and give some group of people keys. Or we could give one person a key
and when someone else wants drinks the key-holder can open the box for them.
