Member and Project Reports

• Ellen and Robin have been experimenting with printing tiny details of 25µm with resin prints. It’s working surprisingly well.
• Grant planning open mic 7/18 but might be 7/25. Feel free to share any music, poetry, comedy, etc. Hannah suggested piloting Eventbrite for this event. I-ball noted that Eventbrite is a payment processor so PayPal is not involved.
• Jay wants to try Eventbrite for next 3D class.
• Stephen’s Sysadmin group is lumbering forward. It’s hard to attract the right people on meetup, but there are a few committed people involved.
• I-Ball - coordinating the Hackerspace Village at HOPE. Hannah has wanted to do a hackerspace passport thing. Further discussion in Discord.

Discussion ensued on the following without any binding votes:

Space Renovations:

1: Getting rid of sofa and rethinking the use of the space into expanded desk set-up for 2 desktops.

• There was a general consensus this should happen

2: Cleaning out under desks and enforcing a no storage policy.

• The main tables already have a no storage policy. This applies to underneath.

3: Narrowing or connecting main desks.

• There was a general consensus that we need a better system for being able to rearrange tables

New Rule:

1: Member storage is strictly limited to the individuals assigned bin, any items left outside of assigned bins may be [displaced at any time] or [removed with proper approval].

• Discussion took place that this is technically already a rule that needs enforcement

1.1: Individuals with additional accommodations may receive a larger bin with board approval.

• Discussion took place around contacting those who currently take up too much space, while the payment rule for an extra bin was reiterated.

1.2: Items may be left in space with proper notice in members chat with expected pick up time. Limited to 72hrs with the exception of approval from board for extended time.

• Discussion took place around whether this is already a rule or not. Multiple people have different impressions of what the actual rule is, so board will re-read past meeting minutes to clarify.

1.3: Proper approval for disposal: If a member believes an item does not serve the space or is being unrightfully stored, the member is to notify a board member for proper approval. Larger disposals go to monthly members meetings for majority vote.

• The consensus was this is a member decision and board doesn't need to get involved unless absolutely necessary
