New Members

Old Business

  1. Zoom - want to switch from Jitsi; initially requested by Ethan; will use TechSoup nonprofit account; former person setup was Nicholas (secretary before Tayeb)
  2. O'Reilly Community Partner - Kevin set us up; we need to add their logo on the website and add them to at least one of our newsletters

“Unified Data” Project (Phase 1) "Wiki-Website-Meetup-Google" - Michelle is interested in leading, already in discussion with Kevin on to spec out requirements to do this (as well as backup-and-recovery strategies) (potential other phases: instructor/member on-boarding, open data pilot project)

  1. April 24, 2022 at Montgomery College at Rockville Science - "family fun" event; outdoors and free to host a booth; HacDC will host a booth (soldering class, robotics); Tayeb will follow-up; exhibitors setup is (April 23 and April 24 early morning)
  2. John & Don - their grant for Amateur Radio looks good; will get $26k to improve antenna system - mostly goes to Aries (radio for emergency)
  3. Trivia Vender Machine (via Dallas Hackerspace) - only way to get food is to answer science questions; Phil wants to build a portable one where students write the questions (can use coupons or others); would be interested in donating
  4. PairsMathGame.com - Phil interested in helping share his invention during the Rockville event

New Business

  1. Board Member Elections - on Mar 8 during regular Monthly Members Meeting; decided during Board member meeting we had on Dec 21
  2. Grants Project Committee - start an email distribution list for members interested in pursuing grant-based projects for HacDC (needs: aggregate list of potential grants, manage future projects/hardware, partner with like-minded community partners, create business plans for consideration). Can merge with this matrix list for comparison.
  3. Precious Plastics - global open source but community-level plastics drop-off, collections, shredder workspace, melting & molding, extrusion, and so on services. Can HacDC get a grant to become a Precious Plastics workspace? Similar to 3D printing outcomes but slightly more scalable and vastly more sustainable. Compared to another partner we've looked at before, PAR Recycle Works: PP is bigger community, more documentation/videos on how to get started.
