Secretary's Report

I had a ton of fun with everyone who made it out to HOPE this weekend and I think the event was a major success. I do have some feedback I'd like to share so we're better prepared for future events It was kind of difficult to organize things. We were a layer separated from the actual organizers which made organizing things difficult We didn't take any pictures of our booth. It would be nice to have move photos for social media and for history (also to show off to the members who couldn't make it). We might want to appoint a "historian" or something for future events so we have someone who is explicitly responsible for making sure these important shots are taken We didn't properly record sales. It would be helpful to have an exact amount of sold merch so that we can make sure nothing went missing and better inform purchasing decisions at future events. This is complicated by the fact we have multiple payment options (cash, venmo, paypal, etc.). We should come prepared either with a physical ledger or at least a special discord channel to record sale information into Hannah also added when I shared these notes with the board that traveling to location every day made the weekend more exhausting than it already would have been. For future events, we might want to make sure we have members staying near the event

Member and Project Reports

  • Chris: Office space project report: Resonance testing has been completed. Next step would be adding foam to walls and bass-traps to room corners. Talk to Chris or Robin if you'd like to help out
  • Robin: Robin has brought a ton of new chairs to the space following his company's physical office closure. It might be a good time to get rid of some of the old shitty chairs to make sure we don't clog up the walking paths. There are also some available 24" monitors available to interested members!
  • Jay: Jay brought in a DDR pad!! Feel free to use and upload tracks. Make sure to keep the track speed at 1.50x
  • Clyde + Nick: Come out to see the GameTank at the Long Island Retro Game Expo later this month!
  • Trek: Trek has been working on a cool looking pokemon themed Gameboy. It's nearly finished
  • Robin: Robin requested an update on the HVAC repair. Unfortunately, we've been unable to find an HVAC technician to repair our AC as of yet. Making the repairs ourselves is neither feasible nor legal
  • Ashley: Ashley has e-waste disposal available in her new building
  • Nick: We can make shirts now lol
