Meeting Minutes
Ace started the meeting at 19:32 with a review of the board's action items. There are no outstanding issues.
Aaron gave the treasurer's report at 19:33 (see above).
Kinsey gave the facilities report at 19:36. We're replacing the textiles computer with one of the ones Adam brought in. This should be somewhat faster and will be able to run Windows 11. Trae has been moving parts of the wiki to Wordpress to allow us to finally upgrade the wiki and get back onto a mainline revision.
Charlie gave the facilities report at 19:38. We worked through the bulkiest part of the computer donation and there's still more to do. The dust vacuum is being assembled. The new compressor has software and needs to be finished up. The CNC import is still in progress, mostly pending a trailer, and location is still up in the air. We're having a cleanup day for the front-of-house/office area. This is not yet scheduled, but will likely be on the weekend of the 27th.
Adam gave the publicity report at 19:46. Brian Walker is doing a kitbash class in October. Retro Game Night 2025 is likely to be held in November (possibly the 15th) and is currently in planning. We're looking at a social media manager solution. We're also planning a pumpkin carving event before Halloween, likely the 21st.
We are now a member of the Huntsville Environmental Coalition.
There is a slack workspace for makerspaces and makerspace-adjacent organizations. Contact Trae for more information.
The next meeting will occur on October 16th.
