Member Reports

Board Reports

President's Report

• Thanks to everyone who has cleaned up, and for letting us all know in the discord when you cleaned up

Treasurer's Report

• Cost of digital services went up this month because of Bitwarden
• Cost of insurance went up, looking into why
• Supplies are up because we had to fix the toilet
• Utilities went up, likely because of air conditioning (this is the bill for July)
• Slightly in the negative, but we're making enough income to maintain our expenses

Secretary's Report

• I picked up two new taps at the homebrewing store for Stephen. We'll have beer on tap again soon

Member and Project Reports

• Someone donated a new CNC, and it got destroyed in the mail. Clyde is renewing efforts to fix the old CNC.
• Clyde + the GameTank were featured on IGN!

New Business

• Director Election:
  • Mihir wins!

• Bitwarden:
  • A Bitwarden subscription allows the e-board to have easy access to passwords and shared MFA for all of our online accounts, along with safe information and debit card backups. Before, all of the passwords were encrypted and posted onto Github. Almost no one knew how to decrypt them so we had trouble logging into anything (it was a complex process that only worked on Linux, with unclear instructions written down). Peter set up Bitwarden for us a whole ago and paid for it for a number of months (thanks Peter!) We would like to continue using it.

• • Bitwarden charges $5 per month per user. The $25 ($27 after tax) is for the whole eboard to have access to the passwords. We could theoretically decrease or increase this number of accounts depending on what is requested.

• • The biggest reason to use a service like Bitwarden versus just a spreadsheet is because we can use MFA without linking an account to a phone number. So I can go into PayPal and manage things without poking Jay or Peter to forward board their text messages.
  • Passes 9-0
