Past events

Events for March

  • June 4, Amateur radio meetup
  • June 6, Breathe Uptown meeting
  • June 8, Welding class
  • June 14th, LAN party

Old business

  • Old slop sink has been gotten rid of
  • Giant vinyl cutter has been returned to its owner
  • Party! How did it go?
  • Dust collector -- if we haven't bought stuff for this by now we need to
  • Unfortunately getting goats to eat the brush on the hillside does not seem to be an option :-(

New business

  • NOMCon -- We should have official representation. Bethany is the only board member who can make it. Can we pass a hat to help send her? $320 for hotel and such (double check). Simon will pay whatever difference there is.
  • There's this John Denny guy who wants to help us raise money. Like seven figures of money.
  • Anyone want to be an area lead?
  • Simon is going to be out of town from June 8 to 22, so don't look for him

Shop updates

  • Should the PA system be returned to its owner? Same guy as the vinyl cutter -- his name is Foo, it can be delivered to Randyland
  • We still have some old furniture to get rid of. Halp?
  • Can we get a sharps container? Some people are diabetic, some have prescription meds that need safe disposal... Becky's doctor is offering to loan us a couple, and take them back when they're full.
  • Can we get a change machine? Bethany spends an absurd amount of time rolling coins and mongling $1 bills. A commercial one costs $500-1500 from what little research Simon could do. Anyone know more?

Voting items

Previous vote status:

  • Do we want to offer $30/mo membership to people on disability? YES. Talk to board member if your membership needs updated.
  • Do we want to make sure elections are not run by someone participating in the election? YES.
  • Do we want to make it so board members who are related/financially dependent/spouses can't sign each other's expenses? YES.


New votes:

  • Do we want to spend $1500 or so on a big CNC kit? Alex has offered to be in charge of it
  • Strike policy
  • Fridge borked. Thermostat broke, got replaced. Can we just get a new fridge already? It would probably pay for itself in power.
