Old Business

  • We are looking for opportunities to be more in line with the mission of the church, and find ways to help them. Tayeb proposes an idea of having a TechSupport day offered by HacDC for either the public or church tenants. And volunteers himself for the job

Follow Up: Need to brainstorm ideas first and then get back to Mike

  • How does our mission intersect with Saint Stephens? Ideas:
    • Distance learning help for kids -- solicit computer donations to give to kids who don't have access
    • Improving computer literacy course
    • Participating in distance learning tutoring if that is possible
  • We have not heard anything new from the District Makers, and are not sure if they are still active in any way. There is potential for setting up a shop in the basement in collaboration with them (maybe give them control).

Follow Up: Eugene sent email, Tayeb to send back email offering dates for zoom call (Tue, Wed, Thur first week of September)

New Business

  • Brian: Looking to change locks on outer HacDC door to allow for fine-grained control
  • Brian: Looking to fix network issues to allow full remote operation of Ham Radio station. Will need to interface with the IT person from St Stephens
  • Kevin: Kyle Mulke emailed bod after Kevin requested he shut down his unmanaged discord server so HacDC can manage. Brian to ask Kyle Mulka to shut down the discord server, create a new discord that is managed by a HacDC email
