Notes


Treasurer says we had a decent month. Still making $$. report to follow.

HMMMMMM will be finished before the next bored meeting. Finished means safety amp + monitors. …If not finished, Kevin will rent space. Will be used as instructional/promotional tool.

Guy's car. Guy's not a current member….He has to move the car this month….But, how?

Floor sweeper (MKEbrew), what are we gonna do with it? Craigslist? Something awesome? No one knows… MKEbrew has lapsed membership.

Vault 12 has Brent's screen printing equipment. Needs to be cleared out because Linda wants it.

Vault 1 will be cleared out so it can be rented. (Split tenants?)

Free space for cool projects: Build pallet jackable tables? Store projects in the east room?

Brant is bringing in more tables…

Clean up day is needed before Bay View Gallery Night. BBQ?

Gary's Makership is expired. Nothing to show for it :( Jason H will take over from Pete.

Electronics Lab looks good. Naysayers can jibberjabber. We don't want to hear it. Thanks Josh!!

Phone system is ready to be shipped. Internal PA system. Can be used to receive calls and as an internal PA system. (Breaker breaker. this is woodshop..metalshop come in. what's your eta?). Chris H asking for 300 bucks for shipping and handling. Putting it on hold until we get a real price.

MakerFest: Stop sucking at raising money (Jason H's advice to Adam)

Kuka saftey walls: Matt N has a detailed plan with drawings…impressive. Proposed Cost: $600. Board has approved the expenditure. 5 yes / 2 no (Kevin and JasonG, proxied thru Kevin)
