=== What would you want to talk about at a member meeting? ===
* Hear a State of the Union
** Account levels, what the board is up to, etc.
* Meeting once a week is a lot. We might get more people coming in if it were closer to once a month
* "Hi, this is who we are, this is what we do, and here are contact points for new members"
* Opportunity to share what people have been making and doing
* I like having the new people in the meeting to share what they like and what they're up to, and so that we can share what we've been up to.
* The meeting was originally a member's meeting, then people started bringing friends and that became the focus
* We used to go through the shop and say "the meeting is about to start"
* Meeting is good for fellowship.
* The meeting became a chance for people to connect, glue of the community
* The meeting as it stands is an open house.
* We could have the member meeting and the open house alternate weeks.
* Separate open house puts the focus for new people on using the space, less of who we are.
* Not everyone who comes to check out the space wants an orientation.
* Not everyone who comes to check out the space wants to sit through a member meeting.
* It's harder to get people to come when the invitation is not "come every Tuesday," so an open house that's every other week might cut down on people coming.
* Need to get new people comfortable with both meetings - how can we make them feel comfortable in the member meeting too?
* Introducing new people takes too long, I want to vote before those things happen.
* I wouldn't have joined if the meetings were split.
* We don't have the people here who don't come to meetings...
