Roll call
Consensus Agenda
President's report
- I'd like to mount Brain Bats in the space: suggestions or objections welcome.
- Kickstarter Sept. rewards still need to ship, and LED modules will be late. They'll likely have to go separately.
- Workshops and talks: any plans/suggestions? KiCad on Saturday is last on the schedule (any help needed there?).
- Building news:
- Currently investigating ventilation for the closet in advance of putting in a utility sink (Carlo is checking).
- Rooftop planters from New School: anyone want to adopt? Else need to trash them and do general cleanup before winter.
- Walls are back up on machine shop.
- Board Elections: schedule for next meeting?
--Yes: annual meeting to be held on November 27th will include election of officers: http://wiki.hackmanhattan.com/Bylaws#Section_3:_Elections --Crystal 20:20, 30 October 2012:
