We are "Pending 501(c)3" and can accept donations. We must pay tax on those donations if our status is declined (unlikely). Have drafted letters for cash and in-kind donations.

William Gibb

  • Still working with the resilient community folks. They are pretty busy but want to get their article on us done by this months end.
  • Working with a friend in Boston who is running a open-source alternative to MIT's design for empowerment course. It is a course focused on building communities like HacDC. The DFE eXtended course is hosted @ whichlight.com & will have 1-2 articles on HacDC this fall featured there.
  • Thinking of doing a workshop/learningshop on spectroscopy based off the materials mark Adams sent out yesterday.

Katie Bechtold

  • Planning an LED Embroidery workshop and another tea night.
  • Literal door bell for HacDC?
  • Temporary tattoos - any interest evinced so far?
  • Willing to organize drafting of Standing Rules when that becomes sufficiently more important than becoming financially secure.
