Recognition

Tom rigged up a new Occupancy Sensor, so now people can check on our website if the space is open or closed. More specifically it shows if the room lights are on or have been turned off for a few minutes already.

Old Business

We need a new Treasurer.

We need a new Secretary.

Enrique - I would like HacDC to purchase from me whatever HacDC t-shirts remain in the box. I spent about $200 initially, sold about half of them and gave a couple away to longtime guests (Bobby, Nancy, etc)

Enrique - I propose allocating up to $250 per month to rent a nearby storage unit (eg CubeSmart 10x12 $165/mo) to expedite cleanup of the basement back room and its conversion to habitable workshop space. We are currently paying for this by foregoing the workshop space and I want to put a number to that monthly cost and thereby motivate acceleration of the Outgoing/Trash process. We have $9k in general-purpose reserves but are breaking-even month-to-month.

Enrique - We need a liability waiver for kids that specifies that parents are responsible for supervision.

Project Awesome Reports

Project Electron Microscope (SEM) - Enrique

Nothing new to report; we need to inspect the electronics, particularly the high voltage (15kV) power supplies for debris that may have fallen into them and then turn the thing on and see what the pressure does. This is not scheduled.
