Director-at-Large Reports

William

Unable to attend due to school commitments.

Please use the website to publish things! We have one small posts up on Spaceblimp 3; which briefly announced the planned date (which then channged). We had no post to announce the rescheduled flight or too announce the success of the flight. Is this a problem with people not having access to the site or not willing to post things? If we are able to aggressively use web + social media, it will build awareness of our brand. This can potentially get us attention for funding from organizations for projects (think for a Spaceblimp 4) once we get 501C3 status.

(Martin suggested that our website was tricky to use. Ben offered to take stories and photos and post them up for people.)

Motley Fools used our space to hold their yearly software development meeting. We netted a $400 donation from that event. (Timball had an emergency, owes Ben the Pyrate a dinner because Ben came in and covered for him.)

Katie

  • Tea ceremony went very well. Around two dozen people attended. Scones and clotted cream.


Member Reports

  • (Martin) Alberto and Martin have been working on a kickstarter proposal. Should we run a project or as a nebulous fill-out-the-shop request. We need to think about schwag. Alden donated some clocks, photos from near-space, APRS trackers for thousand-dollar donors, etc. We could also offer advertisements on future spaceblimp runs. Timball offered to help. Need to think about dollar amounts, strategy.
  • (Arc) Geeks night out has been doing well. Running PFSense for church router. QoS trouble. Getting data from church tenants to map them for IP admins.
  • (Todd) Five went to Falls Church for FIRST robotics league mentoring meeting. Read up on FIRST if you don't know. Need for mentors in urban DC.
