Fundraising Activities - scheduled and proposed

• HacDC is going to have an event at Dupont Underground Tuesday, April 23 - proposal is for demos, public domain films, and musical entertainment. HacDC will approach Words/Beats/Life to see if they would be interested in collaborating
• Board met with the owner of Exiles on U Street about the possibilities for fundraising - they are pretty flexible so there are many options to discuss
• Sign in sheet - we need to show our service to the community with something more tangible - there is a sign in sheet - all members and visitors should sign in.

Audit Committee Report

Nobody bothered to form a committee so there's no report. All financial statements including receipts for all purchases are at the space, in the BOD locker, treasurer's folder. The Dwolla statements include member names, the rest don't. -Enrique

Rules of the Road - Code of Conduct Review

• Please review the draft code of conduct at https://wiki.hacdc.org/index.php?title=Code_of_Conduct#DRAFT:_Code_of_Conduct_for_HacDC for discussion at the next member meeting in April
• This has been updated with input from other members and review of codes of conduct of other hackerspaces

More space cleanup

• Need to finish cleaning out back section of basemen
• Mike Ritonia has agreed to install new lock on basement door
• We can use the dumpsters out front (within reason)
• Ideas for basement - besides storage, could we organize a workshop? Maybe metal or woodworking?

Proposal for an intermediate membership type:

• We have a discounted "starving hacker/student" and a keyed, full membership; unlike other spaces, we do not have an intermediate membership
• Typically, the intermediate membership level gives members limited storage, access to 'members wifi' (we would have to set that up) and a few other perks (could work unsupervised in the basement, for example)
• Do we see value in this dues level, and what are the membership services that come with it?
