Announce membership applications on the Changelog
Give not all members always read the meeting minutes, it's best to explicitly ask prospective members to announce their application on the Changelog. This way, everyone who keeps somewhat up-to-date with space matters will see who wants to become a member.

Minor (not really relevant) typo
There was a tiny arror in the "vote without points" example at the end. It doesn't change the dynamic or the result in any way. It's just a tiny factual correction.

> A do-ocratic example: 30 people are going to Burning Man and camping together. Mary asks, “What if we organize a food pool so we can all cook and eat together?” Others answer, “Sure, Id be a part of that,” or “I can make cake on Friday night.” Soon, Mary is calling campmates to borrow pots, pans and utensils, collating different peoples dietary restrictions, collecting money for food, and organizing trips to the store to buy supplies. At camp, she posts work signup sheets for cooking and cleanup, answers questions, and fills in when others cant (or dont) do their shifts.
A new campmate may grumble, “Jeez, why does Mary get to decide what everyone eats and when they work? Who put her in charge?" The answer is "the do-ocracy put her in charge". The very act of organizing the food pool puts her in charge of the food pool. She can't force you to eat the food or work a certain shift, but you have to respect her authority. This means that if you want to use the pots and pans for something different, or of you want to use the food money to order different food, you have to ask her first. However, if she disappears in the middle of the camp, leaving the food pool in disarray, she looses that authority and anyone else can step in.

## How do I become a member?
1. Fill in [the membership application form](https://wiki.hackerspace.gent/Membership_form) and get two people to sign as sponsors. They will be responsible for making sure you get settled nicely, that you understand how the hackerspace works, and know how you can participate.
2. Attend a meeting and present your application. On this meeting you announce you want to become a member and who your sponsors are. If you want you can talk a bit about why you're interested in the space. *Note: this meeting is simply an announcement. Your membership won't be discussed further, and no decision about it will be made on that meeting.*
3. On the next meeting, your membership will be decided upon. It's useful to have you present at that meeting, but this is not a requirement. As a bonus for coming to the meeting, membership is often the first thing to be decided on a meeting. When you get voted in, you can join the rest of the meeting as a member! Membership decisions at a meeting follow the same process as other meeting decisions. See Chapter 3 for more info.
4. Create an automatic bank transfer to transfer the membership fee each month. You will get your key after you made your first payment.

Why this process?
* Step #1 ensures that two people know and trust the applicant enough to vouch for them. It als ensures that the "culture" of the space gets transferred to new members.
* Step #2 ensures that the applicant understands how meetings are run and that there is some time between the applicant first arriving in the space and the applicant being voted in.
* Step #3 ensures that there is enough support for the applicant. The meeting decision model is used for the same reasons as to why it's used for meetings: a bad solution is better than no solution.
* Step #4 gives the new member an incentive to pay asap.
* Step #2 ensures everyone knows you want to become a member.
