### Debrief We discussed spaces suggested by @pasha - @abby @ali @tanc and @pasha went and all had great impressions of the location and neighbouring spaces. | Space | Size | Price | | ----- | ----- | --------------------- | | #1 | 100sq | £1,320.00 (IVA inc.) | | #2 | 220sq | £1,800.00? (IVA inc.) | ### Budget Discussion moved towards budget and the chicken egg situation of money, people and how to get started. Some different models were proposed: - Model follows dream - we find the ideal space, aim to that and raise funds to make it happen, try to reflect ideal scenario. - Dream follows model - we start with whatever we can do, using low resources, and slowly move up from a bootstrap model. ### Monthly budget We now really have to start projecting our costs and rolling income. High priority on everyone to fill the surey and understand where we are. ### Fundraising We thought that throwing events and fundraising can happen on rental places or also in a decentralised fashion. It's a great ide to start doing something, avents and whatnot, even before the space kicks off. - @laza is proposing renting out a space he know in Clot, whcih belongs to someone very involved in some maker community. Throwing an event there could be great for recruitment and fund raising. - @laza mentioned someone that raised some money for some project (need clarification as I missed a few deets) and is looking for a space, being new and with no tools in Barcelona. We could join forces. ### Diversity Peter made a great point about diversity and growing in more diverse and local directions, but then insulted white man-buns which effectively make up most of of the room. ### Actions 1. **EVERYONE** - fill the survey so we can model what we can afford. 2. **NICK** - compile budget spreadsheets. 3. **UGO** - Update on the conversation with Made. 4. **PETER** - Start a Kanban board.
