Here is the financial summary spreadsheet for Aug 2012: File:HacDC Financials 2012 08.pdf We added two members in August (Sharad Satsangi and Nick Beauregard) but had a record number of 7 non-paying members - I think some of those are dropping membership but haven't informed us. With 55 paying members we are at break even in dues, but we continue to get generous additional donations which leave us ahead $160 for the month despite some extra expenses - thanks to the members who give more!

We spent $91.75 on business cards for the BoD and 2000 general ones with '[email protected]' on them - this was approved months ago. Spent $19 on keys and $50 from earmarked donations went to EricM for the projector light bulb.

Quorum stays at 14 considering the members who have dropped or been dropped as of today.

Tim Slagle - I sent out my "Project Awesome" proposal to the HacDC:Members list last week, and some discussion followed. My official proposal is here. If we have quorum I'd like to vote on it tonight, and start accepting project proposals for the September funding cycle. Details of how to vote are still being worked out however. The simplest plan is for each member to vote for exactly one project by sending email to [email protected]. It would be nice (but more complicated) to allow people to divide their vote among multiple projects. I have a Google Form for voting, but it would require people to log in with a @hacdc.org account (which every member can have), plus some additional processing to validate and compute to the project vote totals.
