Old Business
ToDo Action Items
(Items carried forward from previous meetings, but not up for discussion this month. Recorded here so we don't forget about them.)
* Pete Soper reports that the FSL Hobby Laser may not be fully functional, may be out of focus in one corner.
* Door system - remains delayed, requires "jiggle."
* Training & Accountability (need volunteers)
[create doc with list of tools, include people & doc links as we start making equipment training guides]
Post-COVID TODOs
* Laser cutter soundproofing.
* Look into the option of renting the space no longer used by the gym or the contracting company (the garage). Possibly a good substitute for the basement storage we currently pay ~$500/mo. (Andrew & Blake)
New Business
- Annual election has been completed, check out the new SplatSpace board members.
- Identify volunteers to plan moving donations from Fred Ebeling and Pete Soper from Pete's garage to SplatSpace.
- Mark C. brought up concerns about Splat's financial status and runway, related to resources stored on-site.
- Pete is on record as gobsmacked.
- Use Slack #fundraising or #engagement channels to discuss and own ideas for projects, services, classes, workshops, sponsorships, recruitment, etc. for gaining funding, memberships, and exposure.
- Request volunteers to join SplatSpace "Survival Committee".
- Pete Soper's request: implement reservation system for allowing people to reserve equipment and/or space, using Google Calendar or similar approach, to solve problem of people driving from Apex and finding their desired space/equipment/resource in use.
- A few PCs at Splatspace need to be replaced (Computer next to "Big Bertha" Fusion 306)
- NOTE: Lulzbot PC okay, other PC too.
- Blake reached out to IT dept at his work and obtained 10 "pretty decent" laptops for the space. He will collect these on ~Nov 18. He hopes to replace current machines in the space with 2 left over. These are Dell machines with either i5 or i7 and at least 8GB of memory.
- Last month, Blake and Andrew participated in a hackathon for updating the SplatSpace website. Andrew reduced our Linode service to 1/4 of the original payment. They made many adjustments to the webpage, but due to Wordpress versioning, it did not display correctly. a PHP update is also needed, and backups of the working site need to be made before any large changes are implemented. A Stripe customer/membership management portal should be available soon. Another hackathon is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 17 from 7pm - 9pm.
- Ryan to complete document for updating the Dorbo. Will order more key fobs.
- Blake used a spare raspberry pi and a spare display to make a digital sign to display in the entrance hallway. It flips through a few screens/displays the Splatspace logo.
- SplatSpace social media upload folder available at: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1EPrdwZo7-msmBhlD4Wk_F70GjDvqXc42
- Put any media to be published on SplatSpace social media accounts here.
- Lewis volunteered to make a 1-page PDF to provide to new members.
- This will include Member expectations (closing the space, safety procedures, cleanliness, SplatSpace is a volunteer organization with no paid cleaning staff.)
- Gate code and emergency contacts.
- This spawned a similar idea to make a printable, 1-page PDF brochure to provide to interested members of the public about SplatSpace. Lewis will also start this.
- Lewis solicited language/wording from the community and will use shared Google Slides documents to create these PDFs.
- Annual Election: No quorum could be reached. Election was extended to Nov 17 to get more votes.

NOTE: Treasurer's Report for Nov was overwritten this weekend with numbers from the Oct report. Just noticed it today, but don't have time to redo it. Will do so this weekend.
