Secretary's Report
I purchased a house this past Wednesday, so I'm busy and not at HacDC tonight.
I updated the members@ list with the latest regarding the HackDC situation. I will continue to pursue this issue as discussed with the rest of BoD.
The OpenPGP Card group order has arrived. I will bring the cards/readers to the Cryptoparty for people to collect their share. If you need it sooner, you'll need to schedule with me.
I have new signs for the bathrooms, but since I haven't been to the space in over two weeks I haven't had a chance to put them up. Next time I'm there I'll get them installed.
I also made ten copies of the space key, because we ran out last month, but as I haven't been to the space they're not in the BoD locker yet.
While I'm buying stuff for my house, I'll also pick up a replacement door handle for the pirate bathroom.
If there's anything else, you can call me up, but my phone currently gets no service in my new basement so don't be offended if I don't pick up, it probably means my phone didn't ring.

Project LASER
Project BYZANTIUM
We basically blew off yet another sprint last month because I was busy with the Crab-B-Q. (By the way, you can totally cook crabs in a smoker.)
We are slacking and we really need to pull it together soon. I'm just having trouble making time for things.
Project KITBUILD
Project SUPPLIES
Have a ~$50 receipt for various screws purchased from Fastenal, mostly for the optical table.
Project EXPANSION
For lack of incoming funding, the project coordinator (mirage335) feels that any purchase made from these funds must be well planned.
Project SPACECAM

Finally designed the OpticalTableRobot. Similar to the FlexReplicator, supports multiple tools simultaneously. However, this platform is far more rigid (absolute accuracy expected to be <2um across the ~8'x4' work area). Surprisingly, it is also cheaper than a FlexReplicator, thanks to the free table and extrusions.
Julia Longtin has successfully sought investors, and plans to use the robot to manufacture large car parts.
