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.
