Meetup Summaries

Monday's Open Hac

• Gabe added a maximum RSVP cap.
• Some secondary meetups are beginning to pull the audience to other days.

Sunday Games Wednesday LLMs Friday Command Line

Help scheduling the WBL collaboration: screen printing (Fridays)

• non-members Justin and Jeff had been leading the charge

InfoSec reading group: thursday online

• Sven may help organize this, there had been no plan

Sven is raising the issue that though many of these are after 5pm, some are occurring during the business day. Gabe says sprinkling in a couple during the day helps us balance the schedule. Friday business hours did seem to be popular.

Laser engraver in the basement has been seeing some use by the Gentrified Wood group; they are able to access our shop to use this as needed. Had been missing one night, and they had taken it in for repairs. Is up and running now and our group is able to make any designs needed. Seeking a 2d path tracer -> Gcode program!

Policy ideas can be discussed during our board member elections call (Mar 26). Gabe is going to make a message in the #welcome-and-rules channel.
