Director Reports

President's Report

Vice President's Report

Top priority is to get all our equipment back online.

NetPLC has long been fully ready to replace the old occupancy sensor, as well as provide RFID/IoT physical access control. Our current space has a wooden door frame. Now we just need to install the electronic door strike.

Shelf screws joining the back posts are known to withstand ~150lbs each. Please do not approach that limitation until additional 2x4s have been added.

Moving went surprisingly well. We still have valuable resources AND walking space. Much thanks to Don for spearheading the physical moving process. Also many thanks to those who provided feedback on the space layout. However, our unfunded mandate to move did incur significant hidden costs. Setting aside >$1.5k for future moving services, construction, temporary/cheap storage, etc, would be wise.

Treasurer's Report

Secretary's Report

  • Lots of reorganization, lots of Outgoing stuff to move out, some still at my place unfortunately.
  • SEM work has moved onto vacuum gauge circuitry troubleshooting.
  • An Open Mapping class by Ed O. has been postponed.
  • The HacDC table at the Columbia Heights Farmers Market can't be just Juri. Please come help.
  • Don and Andrew were at the Silver Spring Maker Faire representing HacDC and HARC.
  • Many things were put on the back burner due to the recent move: laser cutter repair, SEM refurbishment, the large-format 3D printer, resuming Microcontroller Mondays, having a Raspberry Pi meetup, making T-shirts, doing a crowdfunding campaign video, making a billboard for sponsors or putting sponsors on the homepage, scheduling a second concurrent CTF meetup, etc.
