Educational programming, a technical literacy course; no one has expressed interest so far, should share on blabber for a bigger audience.

Phil's printer can be kept in the space, Oby can keep responsibility. Should be space in the basement.

New Business

Laser cutter moving to the basement. Move or place a second soldering desk in basement.

Check ventilation and ethernet connection in basement.

Second server; Chris can expand here. Decide on how many to run in the space.

Electricity concerns in the space had mainly been because of power strips failing. - Mesh wrapper for some of the cables and re-organize. - Another re-organization day on the schedule.

LAN party!! Should schedule another soon.

Possible server rack in the bathroom

 - ventilation?

Possible leasing of server rack space in the basement UPS (~$2000 value) needs special installation of an appliance outlet.

Continue to clean out the bathroom and reclaim space, then desk can be moved and space can become opened up much more. "Serverification" of HacDC can include more SSH access for members also, as in the olden days.
