Discussion

Action Items

• Need group for hanging Makers Local sign
• Any volunteers for painting a makers local logo on the wood panel that covers the front window?
  • I think I overheard Jeff say he would be willing to take lead on that. -- --PsychoAU 19:08, 14 September 2009 (CDT)
• We need a "last to lock up" checklist for the shop that needs to be posted on the front door. The task of creating and posting this list needs to be delegated to one member. Turning off of air conditioning equipment needs to be on this checklist.
  • Has this been a problem so far? I don't think it has been. Also, the one at the old shop didn't do anything. --Jimshoe 11:10, 17 September 2009 (CDT)

• Thanks to all who helped out with preparing for and cleaning up after the Hackerspaces Meetup.

  • Soft and hard plastic
  • Paper
  • Cardboard
  • Glass - Please don't drop it into the bin hard or it will shatter = Broken glass hazard.

• Where is the lid for the trash can? Needs to be sealed to avoid attracting vermin.
