       - Organization
          - Signage needed for full time and part time member storage too. (Kevin)
-         - Can we move the wiki pages about organization/space rental, etc off the misc. page without breaking links? (Kevin)
          - Cleanup needed in aisle 2 of the East room - should we have another organizing event soon?  When?  Before the Art Jam! (Kevin)
+         - Designate an temporary project storage area, and devise a labeling system - mark the floor or label it
+            - This can be used for project materials that are larger than a pallet or a shelf.
      - Reinstall CCTV/DVR system (Brant)
     -  Soft Opening Party, March 9th, 2013 5pm-8pm
         - Pot Luck! Need people to sign up.
     -  Kid-friendly events, kids in the space - new policies/rules needed?
+      - note from jason g: someone (lance?) suggested a no youngsters in the shop rule.  I think that is a great compromise.  Having younger kids in for classes in the craft/electronics area sounds awesome.
     -  Business TODOs (Jason G)
         - Clarify liability questions with the way we lease equipment from members, etc.
-    - Art Jamboree news - if any (Jason H)
+        - note from jason g: this should not be my action item.  someone needs to run this by a lawyer and our insurance person and it isn't me.
-    - Potential Hardware Hackathon Event (Pete)
+    - Art Jamboree news - if any (Jason H)
+    - Notes format (from jason g)
+      - for board meeting notes, any votes should have a record of exactly what was voted on and what the final vote was.  Someone should then be assigned to update the relevant docs/by-laws/wiki/whatever so we don't lose track of the votes.  I think we have been a bit lax on this and it will serve us well to clean it up going forward.
+    - Response to email (and a policy) about 'gift memberships' (Pete)
+    - May we please move board meetings to monthly events? (Jason G)
 **  - Add your topics and put your name next to them please!**

+====== Notes ======
+Old Bizness:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Still not clear what our liability policy is. We are waiting for a copy from the insurance company.
+We need more signage. Put signs in areas where they apply (such as the storage rules on the pallet racks)
+New Business
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+We are not installing the light lenses.
+Temporary project area allocated to the east room.
+Guest liability form reform.   Kevin will make hilariously giant binder to keep them in. Guests to keep a copy of our policies?
+Metal shop equipment is somewhat enumerated. Numbers will reference a lease document that identifies the owner of all tools.  This is so we can know who owns what.
+Brant wants to put up a Closed Circuit TV system (as we had at Chase.)  Proposed space pay for a system <$400.  Topic tabled for next meeting.  Somewhat controversial.
+Discussion on policy regarding children: Currently, no one under 10yrs allowed in Makerspace.  We are modifying the policy so that it only applies to dangerous areas such as the west room (metal and wood shop).  Ed H wants to do Cub Scouts, also Chad L does Big Brother.  Can do it but please stay in carpeted areas.  May need to change by-laws, which is somewhat complicated. No policy determined at this time. Topic is tabled.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Art Jamboree
+Still one more round of cleaning/ organizing needed before Art Jamboree.
+East Room needs to be cleared out by the end of next week.  They are building an elevated room sort of thing, with a clear polycarbonate floor(…?)
+Giving a booth to American Science and Surplus if they want it.
+Expect a stage 2 DJ's and a band, a giant spirograph, cash bar, other artists and performers, and hundreds of milwaukeeans.
+Might take a week to fully remove all event materials.
+We will reserve a vacant vault for personal storage of valuable member stuff for the event.
+Feel free to wear your makerspace shirt.  If you don't have a shirt, complain, maybe we'll get some more made! Maybe set up the screen printer during the event.  Sell them?  Other MMS swag for sale?
+We will need volunteers to help out.
+----------------------------------------------------------
+Gift Memberships: Existing members only.  Need to meet people before we grant membership
+Vetting Process:  Discussing a possible one month probationary period before granting official membership. Not really an attractive option
+Jason proposes moving to monthly meetings. Majority opinion is to keep it bi-monthly for now. Try again next meeting.
