Meeting Minutes for December 20, 2011

Attendance

Everyone was reminded that automotive work should be limited to electric car conversions and all gas tanks must be empty prior to bringing into the building.
Clean-Up Day for December was canceled since the last Sunday of the month is the 25th.
Members were asked to keep their rental squares tidy.
The green hydraulic press will be moved to Tom's rental square and Chris offered to wire it up.
The Arduino float will be dismantled soon and stored with other items to free up space in the main bay. The loft was considered as storage location.

Topics for the pamphlet include policies regarding guests, equipment use, training, an introduction to our social media outlets, Flickr and Youtube accounts, and how to use our website.
It was noted that anyone posting images to Flickr, should always share them with the MAKE Flickr group and any other relevant organization.
The pamphlet includes a reminder to keep the main aisle in the vehicle bay clear at all times and the locations of light switches, bathrooms, first aid kits, etc.
It was suggested that we organize all the building-specific stuff into one section so it can be easily edited or removed if we ever relocate.

Tom explained his idea to create a desk/hutch out of tongue-in-groove floor boards. He plans to work on it over the next few weekends and eventually post his work to the Instructables website.
Several members are participating in The Bay View Art Stop Design Competition and their proposal is due 01/06/2012.
