Recognition

Tristan - for Microfabrication and FreeCAD events

Old Business

New Workspace Oversight Person - Rev. Rondesia Jarrett-Schell; wants to know who is using the roof and when/how they need to use it; no rent increase thus far; they are trying a leak in the basement and want us to de-clutter the basement so they can get that fixed. Par Cycleworks - Kevin spoke with Sanjai and Maurice; Kevin in process of setting up first session DIY microphone project (by Robert Phelps) - hybrid at-home/at-HACDC project; machining appears to involve only filing and drilling (although soldering with optional kitchen blow torch used to weld copper ring; might be able to find copper ring already joined/one piece so necessary grounding still takes place); $30 in parts to make $900-quality comparable model; gauge interest (video); carryover to next month Lathe machine (loaner) - Tristan to borrow ~1 month to prevent from going back and forth to space Annual Survey (by Michelle) - major insights: lots of people looking to connect/volunteer socially and professionally for HacDC; need to schedule board meeting for the insights into the survey alone Coinbase Hack - why oh why, Coinbase? was always "fun money", now is "gone money"

New Business

“Unified Data” Project (Phase 1) "Wiki-Website-Meetup-Google" - Michelle is interested in leading, already in discussion with Kevin on to spec out requirements to do this (as well as backup-and-recovery strategies) (potential other phases: instructor/member on-boarding, open data pilot project)
