Me and @joeatkin2 spoke with @barnaby_coote and he’s happy to join the @woodtechs team, if it’s fine for the @directors.

so? any thoughts from the directors?

This isn’t a director’s decision in my view, they should have an input as members. However I would imagine they’d agree the more the merrier (to an extent).

allright… was just so they can include barnaby as a woodtech here on discourse…
im not sure if I can do it myself!

If it says add at the top here:

https://discourse.southlondonmakerspace.org/groups/woodtechs

Then you can otherwise not.

@tomnewsom Can you ensure @stefanoromano is a group owner for @woodtechs and that all groups have one owner other than the @directors.

this is what i see, so i don’t think I can…

No you can’t :frowning:

Members taking on @ roles need to be approved by the directors, so wouldn’t it make it confusing to make more group owners?

exactly what I thought

Part of the problem Makerspace has is it’s increasing amount of administrative burden on a increasingly smaller group of Directors.

If the Wood Techs want to take on another person, why not let them?

11

If the existing @woodtechs are supportive of this and @Barnaby_Coote is willing to do it I would see it as almost a formality. Can you all onfirm below?

We have a system, it’s not burdensome, and it allows a level of oversight. We don’t yet have a feel of what a good number of techs for each area might be. The minimum is 2, but there’s been a suggestion that if you have too many techs in one area that ‘ownership’ could be lost.

I confirm

for the woodtechs role i think that 4 is about right…
should spread the load nicely keeping the communication between us still easy
and now we should have covered all the “sub-areas” of the workshop.

I share tommens concern here, but I accept this is a discussion for another day / month / year / parallel universe.

It’s all up for discussion in future. For the moment let’s run it this way and see how it works.
