Old Business
Pinned Items
Permanent items of the Old Business section carried from month to month.
- Blake created an accountability spreadsheet to track ideas and actuators: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DhrKFV9pf3FqGPViB5spfvg2n9gHp0L-OCm-krcgT5k/edit#gid=0
- Ryan created a New Member Onboarding sheet: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15GAPfC5lDiWzTwhWOXBdhtjgEoBocAib/view
- Justin is working on a SplatSpace floor plan he created for members to use for planning purposes and reference.
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.
- Justin will look at replacing the air assist hose and cleaning/realigning the mirrors if needed. After some research, Justin got it in focus, but had a hard time getting it to cut. He's found a forum.
- Door and Gate system - remains delayed, requires "jiggle."
- Identify and maintain (online) lists of SME's for each equipment or space.
- Lewis hit a formatting wall on the onesheet. It contains a lot of good information, but isn't organized well yet.
- The electronics donation from Fred Ebling that was at Pete Soper's place is now at the space in the main room. Progress is being made to incorporate it into the electronics parts area. Scott is working the shelf, and wants to build a small shelf to go under the gray door cabinet. He's working with Justin on this.
- Blake's donated laptops are in place. Several are still available, talk to him if you want to use any for projects in the space.
New Business
- Mark notes that we are 1-2 months away from majority vaccinated population. Blake says that he is watching the CDC for advice for future in-person meetings.
- Mid-month meeting set up for 3rd Tuesdays, with Mark facilitating. He noted that invitations likely need to be emailed.
- Scott has made process wiring up zoned amplifiers to wire up multiple speakers in each room for music and paging system. This is on pause as Scott focuses on shelving and cleanup efforts.
- 3rd pizza party on March 28th was a success - projects were moved out of the basement area.
- Discuss centralized, online file storage for SplatSpace documents and files.
- Website: progress has been made. Blake is still working on a lot of the layout, but it's getting there. He solicited help for anyone interested in front-end work.
- Lewis floated the idea of making the audio recordings of meetings public. He liked the idea of tagging important moments of conversation, but agreed with Mark that meetings may be better to be ephemeral.
- Scott announced that he's starting to hold the TriBRAE Beginning Microcontrollers & Electronics in-person in the space again beginning in May.

Other
Mark C. thinks that we should welcome students, but not chase them because the student rate isn't as financially supportive. Mark suggests posting fliers on Foster street where there are condos and apartments with no workspace. Mark suggests that people need to pursue hanging up fliers repeatedly, but notes that turnover of places where posting is allowed becomes a problem. He also discussed the Motorco/Fullsteam area neighborhoods. Coco Cinnamon is another option.
