== Background ==

This year of 2024 over $300k came in. 2025 I expect over $400l. Some of that money has to be spent on things such as rent and electricity and some of it the membership gets to decide how to spend it, but not the amounts reserved for the building and budgetary buffer in the case of unexpected expenses.

PS1 History lesson:

At first, everything was a member vote, even things like "pay the rent"

[citation needed]
At some point it was decided this was ridiculous and the board was given the authority to make sure the rent got paid. And other things we can call Operational Expenses. Make sure PS1 continued to exist such that there was a place and the bare necessities. Anything optional required a vote.

Reimburse Patrick for the lamp $153.74 - Passed [Board_Meeting_Notes_2011-05-17]

Which was fine as there wasn't enough money to buy lots of things, and everyone knew that, so there were not very many votes to buy things.

As PS1 grew, there was more money to spend, which meant more votes. Great!

At some point it was decided to consolidate: Each Area Host could run a vote and get a budget for the year. [citation needed]

And later it was decided to consolidate all these votes into one big budget vote, and here we are.

There does not have to be any money allocated for additional votes, and as the organizations financial position changes we will have more or less money to work with.

The budget spreadsheet is to help predict, but not define how money will be spent. Only what is in the language of this vote does.

=== Aims ===

This budget is designed with the following goals:

* Set aside funds for other emergency expenses such as health and safety, building maintenance/improvements/code compliance, and city occupancy.
* Authorize the Board to spend money on normal administrative expenses not already authorized by the bylaws.
* Predict expenditures based on a conservative membership model that shows 0% growth based on this November membership.

=== Additional Notes ===

* We are on track to buy the building, but that is still over a year away. We could go off the rails and mess that up. Let's try not to up that mess.
* If things get better, great. The building will be ours if we don't up mess.
* If things get worse, the membership and or the board can make adjustments.

At some point it was decided to consolidate: Each Area Host could run a vote and get a budget for the year. [citation needed]

The part that the membership controls could be done via 10's or 100's of individual votes throughout the year, but there is something to be said for having one big vote at the beginning of the year, and that is what this is all about. There does not have to be any money allocated for additional votes, and as the organizations financial position changes we will have more or less money to work with.

The budget spreadsheet is to help predict, but not define how money will be saved or spent. Only what is in the language of this vote does.

=== Aims ===

This budget is designed with the following goals:

* Set aside funds for other emergency expenses such as health and safety, building maintenance/improvements/code compliance, and city occupancy.

= Voting =

Pumping Station: One is a member-run organization, driven by membership vote.

Voting is a process established in the [[Bylaws]] and promulgated by the Board of Directors. As of February 22, 2020, all members may write a proposal for a vote, and so long as it is possible to vote it "up or down" ... meaning that it must be phrased so that a voter can vote for, against, or abstain; it cannot be essay format or multiple choice or anything other than yes or no.

The vote language is circulated well before the vote for community review, generally by posting on the PS1 wiki and linked to on Google Groups, for commentary, support, dissent, editing and for other sponsors to attach themselves to the vote. It is recommended that you post this at least seven days before locking the language.

Please aim to have two or more cosponsors. This is highly encouraged to ensure votes are supported by the community rather than just one individual.

Once the vote language has been refined and either a consensus has been achieved (de facto) or the sponsors decide simply that they wish to freeze the vote language and put the matter before the Membership, the language is locked and the vote is displayed on the PS1 wiki for review. After some time has passed, but at least 5 days the vote date is announced, by the Secretary, and a survey monkey link is sent to each member.

An official Member Meeting must be announced for a vote. At the Member Meeting, the Secretary takes attendance, and at the designated time the vote is closed. The Secretary, will then announce if quorum has been met, and if it has, the outcome of the vote. The results are binding on the organization and the Board of Directors is obligated to carry out whatever elements of the vote require their action, including but not limited to writing checks or making other payments.

= Bylaws Section on Voting Process =
III.10.d Voting Process.

i. A member proposing a vote (the vote Sponsor) must write the vote proposal using the template on the Pumping Station: One wiki page, collect two (2) co-sponsors of the vote, post the proposal to the appropriate wiki page, and post notice of the vote to the current official communication channel. The Member must submit the vote as a written proposal to the Board. Email is considered written.

ii. The Sponsor shall make their proposal available on the wiki for public review and comment. The Sponsor may choose to open the language of the vote for suggested edits. Suggestions for edits can be made in a shared document or other collaborative vehicle until the language is locked. The Sponsor may stop taking input at any time.

iii. The proposal made available for review shall include the entire language of the vote and the entire text of any ancillary documents. If the Sponsor of the proposal so chooses, changes from member feedback may be accepted in the language during the review period.

iv. On receipt of the request for a vote, the Secretary shall schedule the vote for a Tuesday within seven (7) to twenty-one (21) days and announce the vote date in the communications channel.

v. The language of the proposal locks when the Secretary attaches a PDF of the entire language of the proposal and its ancillary documents to the email ballot. When the ballot is emailed to the membership, the Secretary will make an announcement in the current official communication channel to notify members that the ballot has been emailed. At this point, the vote opens for a period of five (5) days. However, in the case of a merger, consolidation, or dissolution the ballots must be delivered and voting must remain open for at least twenty (20) days prior to the meeting at which the vote is scheduled to take place.

vi. After the vote has been open for the requisite number of days, on Tuesday at 8pm, a Board member will announce a thirty (30) minute warning of the conclusion of the vote. On that Tuesday, if a member meeting is not in session, the warning will be given in the current official communication channel.

vii. The vote closes at 8:30pm on a Tuesday.

viii.The Secretary shall begin counting the votes by 8:45pm. The results of the vote, including an attached PDF of the vote language, shall be posted on the wiki page of the vote proposal and emailed to the Membership. The authoritative version of the vote language that passed shall be that which is contained in the PDF emailed to the Membership immediately following the vote.

ix. If the vote passes, the language of the vote becomes effective at midnight following the vote.

It is recommended that you post this at least seven days before locking the language.

Please aim to have two or more cosponsors. This is highly encouraged to ensure votes are supported by the community rather than just one individual.

Once the vote language has been refined and either a consensus has been achieved (de facto) or the sponsors decide simply that they wish to freeze the vote language and put the matter before the Membership, the language is locked and the vote is displayed on the PS1 wiki for review. After some time has passed, but at least 5 days the vote date is announced, by the Secretary, and a survey monkey link is sent to each member.

An official Member Meeting must be announced for a vote. At the Member Meeting, the Secretary takes attendance, and at the designated time the vote is closed. The Secretary, will then announce if quorum has been met, and if it has, the outcome of the vote. The results are binding on the organization and the Board of Directors is obligated to carry out whatever elements of the vote require their action, including but not limited to writing checks or making other payments.

= Bylaws Section on Voting Process =
III.10.d Voting Process.

i. A member proposing a vote (the vote Sponsor) must write the vote proposal using the template on the Pumping Station: One wiki page, collect two (2) co-sponsors of the vote, post the proposal to the appropriate wiki page, and post notice of the vote to the current official communication channel. The Member must submit the vote as a written proposal to the Board. Email is considered written.

ii. The Sponsor shall make their proposal available on the wiki for public review and comment. The Sponsor may choose to open the language of the vote for suggested edits. Suggestions for edits can be made in a shared document or other collaborative vehicle until the language is locked. The Sponsor may stop taking input at any time.

iii. The proposal made available for review shall include the entire language of the vote and the entire text of any ancillary documents. If the Sponsor of the proposal so chooses, changes from member feedback may be accepted in the language during the review period.

iv. On receipt of the request for a vote, the Secretary shall schedule the vote for a Tuesday within seven (7) to twenty-one (21) days and announce the vote date in the communications channel.

v. The language of the proposal locks when the Secretary attaches a PDF of the entire language of the proposal and its ancillary documents to the email ballot. When the ballot is emailed to the membership, the Secretary will make an announcement in the current official communication channel to notify members that the ballot has been emailed. At this point, the vote opens for a period of five (5) days. However, in the case of a merger, consolidation, or dissolution the ballots must be delivered and voting must remain open for at least twenty (20) days prior to the meeting at which the vote is scheduled to take place.

vi. After the vote has been open for the requisite number of days, on Tuesday at 8pm, a Board member will announce a thirty (30) minute warning of the conclusion of the vote. On that Tuesday, if a member meeting is not in session, the warning will be given in the current official communication channel.

vii. The vote closes at 8:30pm on a Tuesday.

viii.The Secretary shall begin counting the votes by 8:45pm. The results of the vote, including an attached PDF of the vote language, shall be posted on the wiki page of the vote proposal and emailed to the Membership. The authoritative version of the vote language that passed shall be that which is contained in the PDF emailed to the Membership immediately following the vote.

ix. If the vote passes, the language of the vote becomes effective at midnight following the vote.

CarlFK: Promote non members holding events.

So, you want to start a class / workshop / event? Great!

BTW: '''You don't need to be a member''', you just need a member to sponsor you and your event. Which shouldn't be too hard.

== Initial Steps ==
* First, gauge interest in your class, you probably want to make sure at least three to four people intend to show up.
* Decide what you want and don't want to teach. Set a scope that makes sense to you.
* Come up with a good name.

== Establish a Date ==
* Pick a day and time that works for you and has space available on the PS1 calendar. [http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=hhlp4gcgvdmifq5lcbk7e27om4%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Chicago PS:One Google Calendar]
* Send an email to the PR director at press@pumpingstationone.org with a formal request to add your event to the calendar.

* Warning! Don't ask for a date that "works for everyone." Down that path lies madness and obnoxiously long threads with no definitive answers. This is your project, make a command decision.
* Two or more weeks is a good lead time.

== Write up a class description: ==
* Write something brief, and make sure to include the following things at the bottom of your post (seriously, use this exact format or you're going to get a lot of dumb questions from people who can't read anything not in bullet points):
** Who: who the class is intended for (the public, members only, beginners, intermediate, etc)
** Cost (if it's free, say that it's free, or people will ask)
** Where it is: include PS1's address, which room, etc
** (If you are going to use the Electronics Lab for events, please also subscribe to the electronics lab calendar (http://www.google.com/calendar/render?cid=hkgq1nkid9up5e4oe9uacqdlic@group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Chicago). Duplicate your event from the PS1 calendar by clicking the duplicate button in the more action drop down to create a reservation of the Electronics lab, and set your duplicated event to the Electronics lab calendar.)
** When it is: Date and time. Start time and end time might be nice, too.
** What you'll be teaching, what the event is about, etc
* Find an appropriate picture to go along with your description (because all blog posts must have pictures!)

== Draw attention to your class: ==
* In everyone's fantasy world, you just put something on the calendar and hundreds of people flood into PS1 to sit at rapt attention while you expound intelligently on [insert class subject here]. That can happen, but you need to do some marketing first.
* Post your class description to at the very, very least the following places (this is minimum effort):
** PS1-Discorse Announcement category
** Help the PR person promote your thing. They have the access, but you have the details.
** The calendar: [http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=hhlp4gcgvdmifq5lcbk7e27om4%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/Chicago PS:One Google Calendar]

* Other places you may want to consider:
** The Blog (which means a post on the web site)
** Facebook, make it an event.
** Twitter
** Other local hackerspaces' mailing lists (W88 and SSH for starters)
** Enthusiast mailing lists that talk about stuff you're interested in
** If your event is general interest enough, consider local event blogs like chicagoist, or local specialty blogs
** Make blog / similar blogs
** Eventbrite or Meetup or similar: Meetup.com https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Meetup

== Create A Roster of Attendees ==

* You'll want to know how many people are coming.
* You may want to send out waivers / any special instructions ahead of time.
* Please give your attendees a way of contacting you directly.

== On the Day of Your Event ==

* Show up early to make sure everything is in order for your event. Only you know how long that will take.
* Have guests sign the waiver. https://pumpingstationone.org/ click Join, Begin Application. or https://tinyurl.com/iwillnotdiehere or https://ps1.link/waver
* Make it easy for people to find you. Put up signs.
* Host your event! Share your enthusiasm for the subject!
* You or someone should give guests a tour. Tell them they can put on events too.

== After the Event ==
* Make sure your event doesn't leave a mess. Clean up. Take down signs, and make sure the door is firmly closed and locked if you had it unlocked.
* Get feedback from your attendees: what did they get out of the event? What do they think should be done differently?

So, you want to start a class / workshop / event? Bully for you, you're thinking like a do-ocrat! Here's what you should probably do and think about next:

== Initial Steps ==
* First, gauge interest in your class (mailing list, IRC, or just shouting ideas during a meeting are all good methods), you probably want to make sure at least three to four people intend to show up, to make it worth your time.
