Shop Direction(s) for 2012 - Tabled due to lack of time

    • Repeated interest from folks who want to belong but can't volunteer time.

    • Electronics Station - still needs work
    • Craft area - getting attention
      • Leather sewing machine project
  • Robot parts: Eli will look at that and at finishing the shop shop reorg.
  • Shop cleanup:
    • Once a Quarter cleanup day (weekend, major)
  • Propose to members that we shoot for one workshop/class per month
    • We're stumbling on getting classes arranged/organized.
  • Friday night event planning
    • Not just talks
    • As with Shop Cleanup, maybe we relieve some schedule pressure with:
    • FiniSH IT Fridays (every 2nd or 3rd month)?
    • Game nights (Artemis or otherwise?)
    • Food event (every 2nd/3rd month, we've had Miracle Fruit, Truffles, Mead, and now Coffee)
    • Learn-to nights
      • Simple soldering? Yohe did a one solder joint Friday night event that was pretty successful
      • Learn to knit/crochet
      • Some kind of programming intro? (May be too long for a Friday night though)
