Meeting Minutes
Ace started the meeting at 19:37 with a review of the action items. We've handled all the pending FB messages.
Aaron gave the treasurer's report at 19:38 (see above). Our contract with WOW has lapsed and we need to sign a new one or change providers to reduce this bill.
Kinsey gave the netadmin report at 19:40. The router's flash storage died necessitating use of the backup router. The flash storage has been replaced and everything is operational again. We're talking with Diana about the possibility of getting Google Fiber at a reduced rate.
Adam gave the publicity report at 19:44. The most recent repair cafe was a success even though smaller than the first one. We helped out several locals including the local business Pizzelle's with their mixers. We're looking at wider advertising for this event.
Trae gave the facilities update at 19:47. The air compressor and vacuum are still in progress. The compressor needs to be moved down from the loft. Travis has installed a new A/C in the textiles room since the old one died. The CNC router is pending based on more coordination. We're coordinating with HUBS on possible new shared locations. Greg has received the pattern cabinet and will be integrating it into the space soon. Brian Muzek has been working heavily on the CNC mill and has been having great success. We're also looking to rearrange the shop for better usage.
Adam gave a continued projects report at 19:53. Brent is hosting a Game Dev Meetup this coming Tuesday (8/19). Trae will be hosting a class on brewing root beer next month. We need to be better about making sure that events get advertised. Gavin and Carson are looking to host their next Makers Morning on September 13 at 10AM for those interested.
The next meeting will occur on September 18th.
