HYH is the members' night to get stuff done around the space. It is NOT a discussion time, but a time when we gather to GET SHIT DONE and make our space better. That includes voting on proposals, helping out at the lab, helping with community projects, and planning projects.

Before the meeting:

• Proposals for voting are posted on the email list board immediately following HYH for the next HYH period
• Proposals locked 1 week before HYH
• Proposals should be small in scope, operational, and actionable.
• Members have the ability to dismiss a proposal because they feel it's too broad and should be handled by the board
• Proposals should be discussed in depth on the forums prior to HYH

At the meeting:

• Any member can begin the meeting promptly at 7, with or without a quorum of 8 members.
• The first part is the vote; voting happens quickly, generally without discussion.
  • If there's no quorum, the vote may be skipped or delayed til later in the meeting.
  • A majority vote wins (abstains are OK, if 2 vote yea 1 vote nay and 5 abstain, the vote passes.)
• Email results of the vote to the Google Group.
• The second part is getting stuff done:
  • Clean/fix/replace/action everything.
  • Review the lost and found box and post contents to the lost and found thread here: http://groups.google.com/group/heatsynclabs/browse_thread/thread/7f7aac4217cbd24d
  • Check stations and broken tools bin for broken equipment.
  • Check stock of cups/tp/cleaning products sufficient, notify Operations if not.
  • Review upstairs storage
  • Process donations
    • Organize, repair, or mark for tear-apart/recycle/throw away.
