Member and Project Reports

• Retire the sofa in the space? Vote was reached to remove it. Hannah’s suggestion is replace it with a non-fabric bench.
• Table at JawnCon? Hannah says no but going as a group isn’t a bad idea.
• Stephen’s sysadmin class kicked off on 4/26 and started with 8 members. Classes are free currently but Stephen is debating whether to charge.
• Hannah suggests moving away from Meetup to Eventbrite; reasons are Meetup’s quality is declining and Eventbrite has more potential. We can do a gradual move over by double posting and ride out the 6 months.

• We have 3 new members that will be joining, and we welcomed a new member (Jasmine).
