Old Business

Rocketry. Hobbyist -- Tristan looking for partners in rocketry. Blabber is decent resource for this. Courses. Free CAD -- Tristan interested in setting this up for every other Wednesdays. Courses. Microfabrication -- Ethan may (re-join and) offer course around microfabrication every other Mondays we don't have Project Night. Event. Capture the Flag -- continuing these in some form bi-weekly - we are trying to find a new time that works for everyone. Also, could use some instructors/leaders - Tayeb will send out email to prospectives. Possibly works best from home with own setup. Workspace. Tours, in-person -- Tayeb (or one of existing members) should reach out to Josh (+1) and Sara to give tours. Workspace. Covid -- masks required when inside the building shared space; DC and the church policy set the rules. Membership. Annual Membership Survey -- Michelle has results / exec summary for November's MMM.

New Business

DIY microphone project (by Robert Phelps) - hybrid at-home/at-HACDC project; machining appears to involve only filing and drilling (although soldering with optional kitchen blow torch used to weld copper ring; might be able to find copper ring already joined/one piece so necessary grounding still takes place); $30 in parts to make $900-quality comparable model; gauge interest (video)
