We had a hangout meeting to brainstorm ideas for increasing involvement in the space. We came up with some good ideas. Want people to realize that we're all volunteers with a finite amount of time, so we depend on all of us to make HacDC cool. We're happy to help you if you have an idea that you want help on. Working on new standing rules to make it easier to add new members and conduct business. Thought about making a web app to inventory member expertise (maybe a mobile RPG kind of thing?).

Treasurer's Report
Here is the financial summary spreadsheet for January 2013: File:HacDC Financials 2013 01.pdf. We gained three new membership subscriptions (from Ahmed Aden, Nicholas Jacobsen, and TJ Johnson, and lost Peter Edworthy. We had 55 paying members and 2 non-paying members. Our dues revenue is greater than expenses again, thanks to everyone for paying and thanks again to those that donate extra. With extra donations we had a non-earmarked monthly net of $322.
I rolled over the accounting spreadsheets for 2013 but have not yet filed our 990-N with the IRS (due in April) or renewed our business license with DC (due in March). I will be sending out donation acknowledgement letters for 2012 as soon as time permits.
Quorum is 14.
Project Awesome
We had a small surplus so I am able to declare a $200 Project Awesome dividend and add $122 to our reserves. Here is the Project Awesome spreadsheet for January: File:HacDC PA Projects-2013 01.pdf. We don't have a lot of votes for Project Awesome projects so if you want some say in how money is spent at HacDC please email your vote to [email protected]!
Secretary's Report
