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.)
* In Sept/for Oct, implement a process (proposal?) for holding votes with membership electronically, to allow us to accomplish votes without establishing quorum at/during meetings. (Blake) Google Forms suggested as a straightforward solution.
* 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
- Move back the server hosted under the 3D printer counter? What does it do? Repurpose it? Jeff C. may know more.
- Pete Soper is moving the electronics to his home temporarily, he has Tom's key.
- Ryan update about SplatSpace workshops.
- Scott/Dawn suggests tag team presentation. Lewis wondered about a workshop template to help would-be instructors form curriculem
- Website plans: Blake suggests picking a night and knocking it out in a "hacking - marathon" (not a portmanteau though)
- Domain registration issue - splatspace.org domain has been renewed for a year.
- Update about liability insurance, expires October 18 (Dawn?)
- Moving Annual Meeting (and officer elections) to November 10 to avoid conflict with national election. We will send out updated email to membership announcing the meeting and election, soliciting candidates and votes.
- Sign will be posted in SplatSpace announcing the election meeting, per bylaws.
- Online voting will be done through Google forms, will be collaboratively made by board@splatspace.org.
