New Orleans report-back -
- Mesh Network - John would be open to partnering HAM Radio club on this project; Michelle reaching out to prof at Univ MD Baltimore County -- Michelle meeting with Foad next week in Baltimore, learning more about their grants for Meth networking; As a followup, Kevin says to reach out to Open Technology Institute, subdivision of the New American think tank in DC. If anyone has experience with mesh networking in the Mid-Atlantic region, reach out to Michelle, also look at www.projectwaves.net
  - DC Broadband Bridge - Kevin heard this used to be in DC -- Kevin reached out to former Broadband Bridge activists, have moved on/burned out, was going well for 5+ years but no longer
  - Project Byzantium
PAR / Recycle Works (Philadelphia) back in the picture - owner of PAR has morphed organization into generic Windows computer training services; Michelle feels this is out of scope and region
WordPress work needed - Dreamhost needs us to upgrade to 8.1 -- Dreamhost saying it will happen imminently, Kevin manually upgraded but it broke things so he rewound the upgrade and now we need to retry, Michelle and Kevin will schedule to try again
AI Machine Learning - Oby interested in restarting this; we started in 2020 on the first course and Oby ; should be a part of the newsletter to gauge interest -- Oby will take leadership and restart this

New Business

Bike light event last weekend of July (Tayeb) -- request that individuals bring/buy their own supplies, spend next weeks ensuring supplies available online (https://lab64.stanford.edu/bike-light-pov) -- reach out to DC Bike Party and/or other groups and add to Facebook, Twitter, Blabber (first step)
Inventory Refinement - Spring Cleaning 2022 --
- "Retain, Redistribute, or Recycle?" survey - Email Google Forms to existing members with photos attached
- Basement water issues - (1) coming in from outside (2) not draining inside, possible super-clog that appears that there isn't even a drain (3) water leaking from busted drain pipe along wall; top of wall there is opening with a tunnel (the tunnel is not part of our storage space, was offered to us at one point) -- request help from church maintenance to unclog drain, send email
Mail in workroom - how can we help get things in order more? who should be picking it up? when should they be picking it up? -- .
3D Printer Server -- Kevin working to set up 3D printer server after it broke, wiping machine, installed PopOS 22.04, now in the process of restoring the backed up user directories and putting back in printer related software and configuring. Likely one more day of effort to set this up -- need new filament and profile for Ultimaker 2
