Meeting Minutes

Phil (chairman) started the meeting at 19:30. Jennifer (treasurer) gave the treasurer's report at 19:32 Phil gave the facilities report in Tim's stead. The hallway toilet has been fixed and the office sink is still being worked on. Two tables have been rewired and the third (table 1) is still in progress. We're going to shoot for more Tuesday Night Feasts in the future because we are currently negative in the facilities fund.

There is an event in May called Southern Makers in Montgomery targeted toward technology and arts. Several hackerspaces are going to meet up there for the event.

The pig roast is on June 14

We began taking votes for the board election at 19:35.

There will be a sumo robot contest in July. Ask Tyler for more information. Mindgear will be cohosting a related lego competition.

There is a raspberry pi class coming up soon, contact Shae Erisson for more details.

HOPE conference is coming up later this year and several of our members are going.
