Old Business

15 to 20 folks attended Gabe's Machine Learning by Doing session. Plenty of materials to continue with new episodes.
Michelle expects to have more time for Project Night
3D modeling of the basement, with proposed future redesign is done
A Raspberry Pi (OctoPi) for one of the printers is available. (Look into BotFather too.)
Lease: Waiting for Reverend Ronnie to approve changes. Essentially putting into writing, formalizing the informal roof access, basement access, etc.
Looks like Tristan has been busy

New Business

New server! Thanks Chris!
- Bottom of the rack next to the Ham Radio station
- Chris's server specs
- Uses Unraid
- Set up Proxmox?
Network runs pfSense firewall but we have no "sense" of it.
There was a break in during the middle of the week. No apparent forced entry. (Other offices had windows broken.) We need to change combinations and possibly replace locks. No apparent theft.
- Schedule regular annual changes of pass codes
- If the battery fails the lock becomes impossible to open blocking our access to the space
- Replace the electronic lock itself with a better one that does logging
- Schedule battery replacements

We are looking for folks to help with API World 2022 (Oct 25-27, San Jose Convention Center & Nov 1-3, Virtual ) and we think it would be great if HacDC would join us as a Community Partner!

We think your members would find the sessions invaluable and we would allow them to join the event for free.

As a Community Partner, you will receive:

   Free OPEN Passes for your Meetup Group members to attend the event.
   $100 (through PayPal) to help cover the cost of your next Meetup.
   Recognition as a Community Partner on the API World 2022 website.
   Chance to apply for a coveted speaking slot in one of the event tracks.
   Opportunity to hold a Meetup onsite.

In return, you would let your Meetup Group members know about API World 2022 by listing information about the event in your meetup group.
