- Reaching a wider audience.
- Join Nation of Makers for the resources (networks, safety guidelines, etc.) We think we have enough money for membership
- Chris Knight and Daniel Aaron interested in cyber-security. Chris installed GNS-3 network emulator GUI on the server. Drag'n'drop servers, etc, to create the network topology. Eventually, a competition.

- A "Looking forward" section for future events (or for removing events)
- Possible one-off courses.
- Calli offering to run a small series on web scraping/indexing, or perhaps user experience design.
- Tristan talking about Capture the Flag and/or FreeCAD class.
- Combine Web Scraping and Machine Learning classes
- Use Discord more. Still.

New Business

- Go back to a hardwired landline
- Web changes
- Remove message about access to "the server" from the web page as well
- Onboarding for new members? (How to get a key, how to get a wiki account, etc.)
- Michelle: We should give members who are not board members more control
- Max and Calli would to help with web / wiki editing
- Michelle: Be careful about "SEO credits" and changing wiki page names.
- Add an "editors onboarding / best practices" page.
- GitHub
- Admin access now available

- Rockville Science Day
- Michelle didn't feel it was worth the effort as a tabler, but a good place to visit as a member of the public.
- The relationship with Ulisses is the only win to come out of that.
- New board:
- Vice-president is "president-in-waiting" / apprentice president training to take over from the outgoing president. (Basically a two-year minimum commitment. One as vice, one as president.)
- President liaisons with church and treasurer. Not a lot of power but it's a good role for guidance person / project manager.
- Obi interested / willing to become president.
- Gabe putting in for vice president
- Tristan possibly running for treasurer
- Set "auto-pay" notices to be sent to the entire BOD
- Keep one at-large position for a ham radio person. Probably John or Brian.
- Michelle will reach out to Phil for the other at-large (or other BOD position).
- Duties of the Secretary
- Bylaws, standing laws, proposed standing laws, etc. Instead, we generally operate by consensus.
